New Testament

2 Chronicles 18:28-32 Common English Bible (CEB)

28. So Israel’s king and Judah’s King Jehoshaphat attacked Ramoth-gilead.

29. Israel’s king said to Jehoshaphat, "I will disguise myself when we go into battle, but you should wear your royal attire." When the king of Israel had disguised himself, they entered the battle.

30. Meanwhile, Aram’s king had commanded his chariot officers, "Don’t bother with anyone big or small. Fight only with Israel’s king."

31. When the chariot officers saw Jehoshaphat, they assumed that he must be Israel’s king, so they turned to attack him. But when Jehoshaphat cried out, the Lord helped him, and God lured them away from him.

32. When the chariot officers realized that he wasn’t Israel’s king, they stopped chasing him.
