Context
18:27 Micaiah <04321> said <0559>, “If <0518> you really do return <07725> <07725> safely <07965>, then the Lord <03068> has not <03808> spoken <01696> through me!” Then he added <0559>, “Take note <08085>, all <03605> you people <05971>.” 18:28 The king <04428> of Israel <03478> and King <04428> Jehoshaphat <03092> of Judah <03063> attacked <0413> <05927> Ramoth <07433> Gilead <01568>. 18:29 The king <04428> of Israel <03478> said <0559> to <0413> Jehoshaphat <03092>, “I will disguise <02664> myself and then enter <0935> the battle <04421>; but you <0859> wear <03847> your royal attire <0899>.” So the king <04428> of Israel <03478> disguised <02664> himself and they entered <0935> the battle <04421>. 18:30 Now the king <04428> of Syria <0758> had ordered <06680> his chariot <07393> commanders <08269>, “Do not <03808> fight <03898> common soldiers <06996> or <0518> high ranking officers <01419>; fight <0854> only <0905> the king <04428> of Israel <03478>!” 18:31 When <01961> the chariot <07393> commanders <08269> saw <07200> Jehoshaphat <03092>, they <01992> said <0559>, “He must be the king <04428> of Israel <03478>!” So they <01931> turned <05437> and attacked <03898> him, but Jehoshaphat <03092> cried <02199> out. The Lord <03068> helped <05826> him; God <0430> lured <05496> them away <05496> from <04480> him. 18:32 When <03588> the chariot <07393> commanders <08269> realized <07200> he was <01961> not <03808> the king <04428> of Israel <03478>, they turned away <07725> from <0310> him. 18:33 Now an archer <0376> shot <04900> an arrow <07198> at random <08537> and it struck <05221> the king <04428> of Israel <03478> between <0996> the plates <01694> of his armor <08302>. The king ordered <0559> his charioteer <07395>, “Turn <02015> around <03027> and take <03318> me from <04480> the battle line <04264>, for <03588> I am wounded <02470>.” 18:34 While the battle <04421> raged <05927> throughout the day <03117>, the king <04428> stood <05975> propped up in his chariot <04818> opposite <05227> the Syrians <0758>. He died <04191> in the evening <06153> as <05704> the sun <08121> was setting <0935>.
