33
It happened, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.
34
A certain man drew his bow at a venture, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of the armor: why he said to the driver of his chariot, Turn your hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am sore wounded.
35
The battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even; and the blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.
36
There went a cry throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his country.
37
So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king in Samaria.
38
They washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood (now the prostitutes washed themselves [there]); according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke.
