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

30Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you must wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.

31The king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, “Do not fight against anyone, whatever his rank, but only against the king of Israel.”

32When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely he is the king of Israel.” So they turned to attack him, but Jehoshaphat cried out.

33When the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
