2 Chronicles 18:22-34

[22] Now therefore, behold, the LORD  hath put  a lying  spirit  in the mouth  of these thy prophets,  and the LORD  hath spoken  evil  against thee. [23] Then Zedekiah  the son  of Chenaanah  came near,  and smote  Micaiah  upon the cheek,  and said,  Which  way  went  the Spirit  of the LORD  from me to speak  [24] And Micaiah  said,  Behold, thou shalt see  on that day  when thou shalt go  into an inner  to hide  [25] Then the king  of Israel  said,  Take  ye Micaiah,  and carry him back  to Amon  the governor  of the city,  and to Joash  the king's  son;  [26] And say,  the king,  Put  this fellow in the prison,  and feed  him with bread  of affliction  and with water  of affliction,  until I return  in peace.  [27] And Micaiah  said,  If thou certainly  in peace,  then hath not the LORD  spoken  by me. And he said,  Hearken,  all ye people.  [28] So the king  of Israel  and Jehoshaphat  the king  of Judah  went up  to Ramothgilead.  [29] And the king  of Israel  said  unto Jehoshaphat,  I will disguise  myself, and will go  to the battle;  but put  thou on thy 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  ye not with small  or great,  save 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 compassed about  him to fight:  but Jehoshaphat  cried out,  and the LORD  helped  him; and God  moved  [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  [33] And a certain man drew  a bow  at a venture,  and smote  the king  of Israel  between the joints  of the harness:  therefore he said  to his chariot  man,  Turn  thine hand,  that thou mayest carry me out  of the host;  for I am wounded.  [34] And the battle  increased  that day:  howbeit the king  of Israel  stayed himself up  in his chariot  against  the Syrians  until the even:  and about the time  of the sun  going down  he died.
