2 Chronicles 18:28-19:3

21st Century King James Version

²⁸ So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.

²⁹ And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went to the battle.

³⁰ Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots who were with him, saying, “Fight ye not with small or great, but only with the king of Israel.”

³¹ And it came to pass when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat that they said, “It is the king of Israel.” Therefore they compassed about him to fight. But Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.

³² For it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him.

³³ And a certain man drew a bow at random, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. Therefore he said to his chariot man, “Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host, for I am wounded.”

³⁴ And the battle increased that day. Nonetheless the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening. And about the time of the sun going down he died.

19 And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned to his house in peace to Jerusalem.

² And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, “Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love those who hate the Lord? Therefore is wrath upon thee from before the Lord.

³ Nevertheless there are good things found in thee, in that thou hast taken away the Asherah poles out of the land, and hast prepared thine heart to seek God.”
