1 Kings 22:34-36

Good News Translation

³⁴ By chance, however, a Syrian soldier shot an arrow which struck King Ahab between the joints of his armor. “I'm wounded!” he cried out to his chariot driver. “Turn around and pull out of the battle!”

³⁵ While the battle raged on, King Ahab remained propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrians. The blood from his wound ran down and covered the bottom of the chariot, and at evening he died. ³⁶ Near sunset the order went out through the Israelite ranks: “Each of you go back to your own country and city!”
