31 So when the chariot commanders observed Jehoshaphat, they said by mistake, |It's the king of Israel!| and they turned aside to attack him. But Jehoshaphat cried out to the LORD, who helped him, and God diverted them from him.

32 When the chariot commanders saw that their target was not the king of Israel, they stopped pursuing him.

33 Meanwhile, somebody drew his bow and struck the king of Israel at a weak spot where his armor plates joined, so he instructed his chariot driver, |Turn around and take me out of the battle, because I've been severely wounded.|

34 The battle continued on for the rest of the day while the king of Israel propped himself up in front of the Arameans until the sun set, at which time he died.|
