Contextual Overview

²⁹ So the king of Israel went up, and Josaphat king of Juda with him to Remmath Galaad. ³⁰ And the king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle, and do thou put on my raiment. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle. ³¹ And the king of Syria had charged the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, Fight not against small or great, but against the king of Israel only. ³² And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat king of Juda, that they said, this seems to be the king of Israel. And they compassed him about to fight against him; and Josaphat cried out. ³³ And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that this was not the king of Israel, that they returned from him. ³⁴ And one drew a bow with a good aim, and smote the king of Israel between the lungs and the breast-plate: and he said to his charioteer, Turn thine hands, and carry me away out of the battle, for I am wounded. ³⁵ And the war was turned in that day, and the king was standing on the chariot, against Syria from morning till evening; and he shed the blood out of his wound, into the bottom of the chariot, and died at even, and the blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot. ³⁶ And the herald of the army stood at sunset, saying, Let every man go to his own city and his own land, ³⁷ for the king is dead. And they came to Samaria, and buried the king in Samaria. ³⁸ And they washed the chariot at the fountain of Samaria; and the swine and the dogs licked up the blood, and the harlots washed themselves in the blood, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke.
