29 Le roi d’Israël dit à Josaphat: Je veux me déguiser pour aller au combat; mais toi, revêts-toi de tes habits. Et le roi d’Israël se déguisa, et ils allèrent au combat.

30 Le roi de Syrie avait donné cet ordre aux chefs de ses chars: Vous n’attaquerez ni petit ni grand, mais vous attaquerez seulement le roi d’Israël.

31 Quand les chefs des chars aperçurent Josaphat, ils dirent: C’est le roi d’Israël. Et ils l’entourèrent pour l’attaquer. Josaphat poussa un cri, et l’Éternel le secourut, et Dieu les écarta de lui.

32 Les chefs des chars, voyant que ce n’était pas le roi d’Israël, s’éloignèrent de lui.

33 Alors un homme tira de son arc au hasard, et frappa le roi d’Israël au défaut de la cuirasse. Le roi dit à celui qui dirigeait son char: Tourne, et fais-moi sortir du champ de bataille, car je suis blessé.
