1 Kings 22:31-40

³¹The King of Syria told this to his thirty-two men who were driving the chariots: “Attack only the king of Israel!”

³²So when the men who were driving the Syrian chariots saw Jehoshaphat wearing ◄his royal robes/clothes that showed he was the king►, they pursued him. They shouted, “There is the king of Israel!” But when Jehoshaphat cried out,

³³they realized that he was not the king of Israel. So they stopped pursuing him.

³⁴But one Syrian soldier shot an arrow at Ahab, without knowing that it was Ahab. The arrow struck Ahab between the places where the parts of his armor joined together. Ahab told the driver of his chariot, “Turn the chariot around and take me out of here! I have been severely wounded!”

³⁵The battle continued all the day. Ahab was sitting propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrian troops. The blood from his wound ran down to the floor of the chariot. And late in the afternoon he died.

³⁶Just as the sun was going down, someone among the Israeli troops shouted, “ The battle is ended! Everyone should return home!”

³⁷So king Ahab died, and they took his body in the chariot to Samaria city and buried his body there.

³⁸They washed his chariot alongside the pool in Samaria, a pool where the prostitutes bathed. And dogs came and licked the king's blood, just like Yahweh had predicted would happen.

³⁹The account/record of the other things that happened while Ahab was ruling, and about the palace decorated with much ivory that they built for him, and the cities that were built for him, was written in the scroll called ❛The History of the Kings of Israel❜.

⁴⁰When Ahab died, his body was buried where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Ahaziah became king.
