25. And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

26. Then the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and carry him back unto Amon, the governor of the city, and to Joash, the king’s son

27. and say, Thus hath the king said, Put this fellow in the prison and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.

28. And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me. Then he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.

29. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramothgilead.

30. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself and enter into the battle, but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.

31. But the king of Syria commanded his thirty-two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, but only with the king of Israel.

32. And when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, Surely this is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him, but Jehoshaphat cried out.

33. And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

34. But a certain man, shooting his bow in perfection, smote the king of Israel between the joints of his coat of mail; therefore, he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thy hand and carry me out of the host, for I am wounded.

35. And the battle had increased that day, and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians and died in the evening, and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.

36. And at the going down of the sun there went a proclamation throughout the camp, saying, Every man to his city and every man to his own land.

37. So the king died and was brought to Samaria, and they buried the king in Samaria.
