³¹The king of Aram commanded his thirty-two chariot commanders, saying, “You shall not fight with small or great, but only against the king of Israel, him alone!” ³²When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely he is the king of Israel,” and they turned to fight against him, so Jehoshaphat called out. ³³When the chariot commanders saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned away from him. ³⁴But another man drew his bow fully and struck the king of Israel between the armor scales and the breastplate; so he said to his chariot driver, “Turn the chariot^j and bring me out from the camp, for I am wounded.”

³⁵The battle intensified on that day, and the king was being propped up in the chariot opposite Aram, but he died in the evening, and the blood of the wound ran out to the floor of the chariot. ³⁶Then the shout passed through the camp about sunset, saying, “Each man to his city and each to his land!” ³⁷So the king died, and they brought him^k to Samaria, and they buried the king in Samaria.
