31. Meanwhile, Aram’s king had commanded his thirty-two chariot officers, "Don’t bother with anyone big or small. Fight only with Israel’s king."
32. As soon as the chariot officers saw Jehoshaphat, they assumed that he must be Israel’s king, so they turned to attack him. But Jehoshaphat cried out for help.
33. When the chariot officers realized that he wasn’t Israel’s king, they stopped chasing him.
34. But someone randomly shot an arrow that struck Israel’s king between the joints in his armor."Turn around and get me out of the battle," the king told his chariot driver. "I’ve been hit!"
35. While the battle raged all that day, the king stood propped up in the chariot facing the Arameans. But that evening he died after his blood had poured from his wound into the chariot.
