27. And say, The king says, Put this fellow in prison and feed him with bread and water of affliction until I come in peace.
28. Micaiah said, If you return at all in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me. He [added], Hear, O people, every one of you!
29. So [Ahab] king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
30. And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself and enter the battle, but you put on your [royal] clothing. And the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.
31. But the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two captains of his chariots, Fight neither with small nor great, but only with [Ahab] king of Israel.
32. And when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. They turned to fight against him, but Jehoshaphat cried out.
33. And when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
34. But a certain man drew a bow at a venture and smote [Ahab] the king of Israel between the joints of the armor. So he said to the driver of his chariot, Turn around and carry me out of the army, for I am wounded.
35. The battle increased that day, and [Ahab] the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians, and at nightfall he died. And the blood of his wound flowed onto the floor of the chariot.
36. And there went a cry throughout the army about sundown, saying, Every man to his city and his own country,
37. For the king is dead! And [Ahab] was brought to Samaria, where they buried him.
38. And they washed [his] chariot by the pool of Samaria, where the harlots bathed, and the dogs licked up his blood, as the Lord had predicted. [I Kings 21:19.]
39. The rest of Ahab's acts, all he did, the ivory palace and all the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
40. So Ahab slept with his fathers. Ahaziah his son reigned in his stead.
