29So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.

30Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Disguise yourself and go into the battle, but you, put on your robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.

31The king of Aram had commanded the thirty-two chariot commanders who belonged to him, saying, “Do not fight with either small or great, but only with the king of Israel alone.”

32And it happened, when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, “Surely he is the king of Israel.” So they turned aside against him to fight, but Jehoshaphat cried out.

33And it happened, when the commanders of the chariots saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
