2 Chronicles 18:24-34 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

24. And Micaiah said, Behold, you shall see on that day when you shall go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.

25. Then the king of Israel said, Take you Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

26. And say, Thus says the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with little bread and with little water, until I return in peace.

27. And Micaiah said, If you ever return in peace, then has not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all you people.

28. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.

29. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put you on your robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.

30. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight you not with small or great, except only with the king of Israel.

31. And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they surrounded him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God led them to depart from him.

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

33. And a certain man drew a bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn your hand, that you may carry me out of the battle; for I am wounded.

34. And the battle increased that day: and the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the evening: and about the time of the sun going down he died.
