34. And a certain man bent his bow, shooting at a venture, and chanced to strike the king of Israel between the lungs and the stomach. But he said to the driver of his chariot: Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the army, for I am grievously wounded.
35. And the battle was fought that day, and the king of Israel stood in his chariot against the Syrians, and he died in the evening: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
36. And the herald proclaimed through all the army before the sun set, saying: Let every man return to his own city, and to his own country.
37. And the king died, b and was carried into Samaria: and they buried the king in Samaria.
38. And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood, and they washed the reins, according to the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
39. But the rest of the acts of Achab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
40. So Achab slept with his fathers, and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead.
41. But Josaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Juda in the fourth year of Achab king of Israel.
42. He was five and thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned five and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Azuba the daughter of Salai.
43. And he walked in all the way of Asa his father, and he declined not from it: and he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord.
44. Nevertheless he took not away the high places: for as Set the people offered sacrifices and burnt incense in the high places.
45. And Josaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
46. But the rest of the acts of Josaphat, and his works which he did, and his battles, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?
47. And the remnant also of the effeminate, who remained in the days of Asa his father, he took out of the land.
48. And there was then no king appointed in Edom.
