2. Tarihler 18

¹Yehoşafat henüz daha da büyük bir zenginliğe ve yüceliğe erişmişti ki, Ahab'ın ev halkıyla dünürlük bağı kurdu.

²Yıllar sonra Samiriye'ye, Ahab'ın yanına gitti; Ahab onun ve yanındaki halk için bol miktarda koyun ve sığır kurban etti ve kendisiyle birlikte Gilat-Ramot'a gitmesi için onu sevgiyle ikna etti.

³İsrail Kralı Ahab, Yahuda Kralı Yehoşafat'a, "Benimle birlikte Gilat-Ramot'a gelir misin?" dedi. O da ona, "Ben neysem sen de osun; senin halkın neyse benim halkım da seninle birlikte savaşa girmeye hazırdır" dedi.

⁴Yehoşafat İsrail Kralı'na, "Lütfen bugün her şeyden önce Rab'be danış" dedi.

⁵Bunun üzerine İsrail Kralı peygamberleri, yani dört yüz adamı topladı ve onlara, "Gilat-Ramot'a savaşa gidelim mi, yoksa vaz mı geçeyim?" diye sordu. Onlar da, "Saldır, Tanrı onu kralın ellerine teslim edecektir" dediler.

⁶Ama Yehoşafat, "Kendisine danışabileceğimiz Rab'bin bir peygamberi daha yok mu burada?" diye sordu.

⁷İsrail Kralı Yehoşafat'a, "Aracılığıyla Rab'be danışabileceğimiz bir adam daha var," dedi, "ama ondan nefret ediyorum; çünkü benim hakkımda hiçbir zaman iyi şeylere peygamberlik etmez, onun bütün günleri kötülüğedir. O, Yimla oğlu Mikaya'dır." Yehoşafat, "Kral böyle konuşmasın" dedi.

⁸Bunun üzerine kral bir saray görevlisini çağırıp, "Yimla oğlu Mikaya'yı hemen buraya getir" dedi.

⁹İsrail Kralı ile Yahuda Kralı Yehoşafat, resmi kaftanlarını giymiş olarak Samiriye kapısının girişindeki meydanda tahtlarında oturuyorlardı; bütün peygamberler de onların önünde peygamberlik ediyorlardı.

¹⁰Kenana oğlu Sidkiya kendine demirden boynuzlar yapmış ve şöyle demişti: "Rab şöyle diyor: 'Suriye'yi tamamen yok edene dek onları bunlarla boynuzlayıp duracaksın.'"

¹¹Öbür peygamberler de aynı doğrultuda peygamberlik ederek, "Gilat-Ramot'a saldır ve yolun açık olsun; Rab onu kralın ellerine teslim edecektir" diyorlardı.

¹²Mikaya'yı çağırmaya giden haberci onunla konuşarak, "Bak, peygamberler tek bir ağızdan kral için iyi şeyler söylediler," dedi, "senin sözlerin de onlardan birininki gibi olsun, sen de iyi şeyler söyle."

¹³Ama Mikaya, "Rab'bin yaşamı üzerine ant içerim ki, Tanrım bana ne söylerse ancak onu konuşacağım" dedi.

¹⁴Kralın huzuruna çıktığında kral ona, "Mikaya, Gilat-Ramot'a savaşa gidelim mi, yoksa vaz mı geçeyim?" diye sordu. O da, "Saldır ve başarılı olacaksın, onlar ellerinize teslim edilecekler" dedi.

¹⁵Kral ona, "Rab'bin adıyla bana gerçeğin dışında bir şey söylememen için sana kaç kez yemin ettirmeliyim?" dedi.

¹⁶Bunun üzerine Mikaya, "Bütün İsrail'i, çobansız koyunlar gibi dağlara dağılmış gördüm," dedi. "Rab şöyle dedi: 'Bunların bir lideri yok; her biri barış içinde evine dönsün.'"

¹⁷İsrail Kralı Yehoşafat'a, "Sana dememiş miydim?" dedi, "Benim hakkımda iyi şeyler peygamberlik etmez, ancak kötülükten başka bir şey söylemez."

¹⁸Mikaya, "Öyle değil, şimdi Rab'bin sözünü dinleyin!" dedi. "Rab'bi tahtında otururken gördüm; göğün bütün ordusu O'nun sağında ve solunda duruyordu.

¹⁹Rab, 'İsrail Kralı Ahab'ı kim aldatacak ki gidip Gilat-Ramot'ta düşsün?' dedi. Biri şöyle, diğeri böyle diyordu.

²⁰Sonunda o ruh öne çıkıp Rab'bin önünde durdu ve 'Ben onu aldatırım' dedi. Rab ona, 'Nasıl?' diye sordu.

²¹Ruh, 'Gideceğim ve bütün peygamberlerinin ağzında yalancı bir ruh olacağım' dedi. Rab, 'Onu aldatacaksın ve buna muktedir olacaksın; git ve öyle yap' dedi.

²²İşte şimdi Rab, bu peygamberlerinin ağzına yalancı bir ruh koydu; çünkü Rab senin hakkında kötülük kararı verdi."

²³Bunun üzerine Kenana oğlu Sidkiya yaklaşıp Mikaya'nın yanağına vurdu ve "Rab'bin Ruhu benimle konuşmak için benden hangi yolla ayrılıp sana geçti?" dedi.

²⁴Mikaya, "Gizlenmek için iç odadan iç odaya kaçacağın gün bunu kendi gözlerinle göreceksin" diye yanıt verdi.

²⁵İsrail Kralı, "Mikaya'yı yakalayıp kent yöneticisi Emer'e ve kralın oğlu yönetici Yoaş'a geri götürün" dedi.

²⁶"And onlara deyin ki, 'Kral şöyle diyor: Bu adamı zindana atın; ben esenlikle dönene kadar ona sıkıntı ekmeği ve sıkıntı suyu verin.'"

²⁷Mikaya, "Eğer gerçekten esenlikle dönersen, Rab benim aracılığımla konuşmamıştır" dedi ve ekledi: "Ey bütün halklar, bunu duyun!"

²⁸Böylece İsrail Kralı ile Yahuda Kralı Yehoşafat, Gilat-Ramot'a doğru yukarı çıktılar.

²⁹İsrail Kralı Yehoşafat'a, "Ben kendimi gizleyip savaşa gireceğim, ama sen benim giysilerimi giy" dedi. Böylece İsrail Kralı kılık değiştirdi ve savaşa girdiler.

³⁰Suriye Kralı, yanındaki savaş arabası komutanlarına, "Küçük büyük kimseyle savaşmayın; sadece İsrail Kralı'na saldırın" diye buyurmuştu.

³¹Savaş arabası komutanları Yehoşafat'ı görünce, "İsrail Kralı budur" diyerek savaşmak için etrafını sardılar. Ama Yehoşafat feryat etti; Rab ona yardım etti ve Tanrı onları ondan uzaklaştırıp geri döndürdü.

³²Savaş arabası komutanları onun İsrail Kralı olmadığını anlayınca onu kovalamaktan vazgeçip geri döndüler.

³³Ancak bir asker yayı rastgele ama isabetli bir biçimde gerdi ve İsrail Kralı'nı akciğeri ile göğüs zırhının birleştiği yerin ortasından vurdu. Kral, arabacısına, "Geri dön, beni savaşın dışına çıkar, çünkü çok acı çekiyorum" dedi.

³⁴O gün savaş şiddetli bir bozguna dönüştü; İsrail Kralı akşama kadar Suriyelilerin karşısında arabasında ayakta durmak zorunda kaldı ve güneş batarken öldü.

¹ΚΑΙ ἐγενήθη τῷ ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ ἔτι πλοῦτος καὶ δόξα πολλή, καὶ ἐπεγαμβρεύσατο ἐν οἴκῳ ᾿Αχαάβ.

²καὶ κατέβη διὰ τέλους ἐτῶν πρὸς ᾿Αχαὰβ εἰς Σαμάρειαν· καὶ ἔθυσεν αὐτῷ ᾿Αχαὰβ πρόβατα καὶ μόσχους πολλοὺς καὶ τῷ λαῷ τῷ μετ’ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἠγάπα αὐτὸν τοῦ συναναβῆναι μετ’ αὐτοῦ εἰς Ῥαμὼθ τῆς Γαλααδίτιδος.

³καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Αχαὰβ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ βασιλέα ᾿Ιούδα· εἰ πορεύσῃ μετ’ ἐμοῦ εἰς Ῥαμὼθ τῆς Γαλααδίτιδος; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ὡς ἐγώ, οὕτω καὶ σύ· ὡς ὁ λαός σου καὶ ὁ λαός μου μετὰ σοῦ εἰς πόλεμον.

⁴καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ πρὸς βασιλέα ᾿Ισραήλ· ζήτησον δὴ σήμερον τὸν Κύριον.

⁵καὶ συνήγαγεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ τοὺς προφήτας τετρακοσίους ἄνδρας καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· εἰ πορευθῶ εἰς Ῥαμὼθ Γαλαὰδ εἰς πόλεμον ἢ ἐπίσχω; καὶ εἶπαν· ἀνάβαινε, καὶ δώσει ὁ Θεὸς εἰς τὰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως.

⁶καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωσαφάτ· οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε προφήτης τοῦ Κυρίου ἔτι καὶ ἐπιζητήσομεν παρ’ αὐτοῦ;

⁷καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς ᾿Ιωσαφάτ· ἔτι ἀνὴρ εἷς τοῦ ζητῆσαι τὸν Κύριον δι’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐγὼ ἐμίσησα αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστι προφητεύων περὶ ἐμοῦ εἰς ἀγαθά, ὅτι πᾶσαι αἱ ἡμέραι αὐτοῦ εἰς κακά, οὗτος Μιχαίας υἱὸς ᾿Ιεμβλά. καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιωσαφάτ· μὴ λαλείτω ὁ βασιλεὺς οὕτως·

⁸καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ὁ βασιλεὺς εὐνοῦχον ἕνα καὶ εἶπε· τάχος Μιχαίαν υἱὸν ᾿Ιεμβλά.

⁹καὶ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιούδα καθήμενοι ἕκαστος ἐπὶ θρόνου αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνδεδυμένοι στολάς, καθήμενοι ἐν τῷ εὐρυχώρῳ θύρας πύλης Σαμαρείας, καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐπροφήτευον ἐναντίον αὐτῶν.

¹⁰καὶ ἐποίησεν ἑαυτῷ Σεδεκίας υἱὸς Χαναὰν κέρατα σιδηρᾶ καὶ εἶπε· τάδε λέγει Κύριος· ἐν τούτοις κερατιεῖς τὴν Συρίαν ἕως ἂν συντελεσθῇ.

¹¹καὶ πάντες οἱ προφῆται ἐπροφήτευον οὕτω λέγοντες· ἀνάβαινε εἰς Ῥαμὼθ Γαλαὰδ καὶ εὐοδωθήσῃ, καὶ δώσει Κύριος εἰς χεῖρας τοῦ βασιλέως.

¹²καὶ ὁ ἄγγελος ὁ πορευθεὶς τοῦ καλέσαι τὸν Μιχαίαν ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ λέγων· ἰδοὺ ἐλάλησαν οἱ προφῆται ἐν στόματι ἑνὶ ἀγαθὰ περὶ τοῦ βασιλέως, καὶ ἔστωσαν δὴ οἱ λόγοι σου ὡς ἑνὸς αὐτῶν, καὶ λαλήσεις ἀγαθά.

¹³καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας· ζῇ Κύριος, ὅτι ὃ ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὁ Θεὸς πρός με, αὐτὸ λαλήσω.

¹⁴καὶ ἦλθε πρὸς τόν βασιλέα, καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς· Μιχαία, εἰ πορευθῶ εἰς Ῥαμὼθ Γαλαὰδ εἰς πόλεμον ἢ ἐπίσχω; καὶ εἶπεν· ἀνάβαινε καὶ εὐοδώσεις, καὶ δοθήσονται εἰς χεῖρας ὑμῶν.

¹⁵καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεύς· ποσάκις ὁρκίζω σε ἵνα μὴ λαλήσῃς πρός με πλὴν τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου;

¹⁶καὶ εἶπεν· εἶδον τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ διεσπαρμένους ἐν τοῖς ὄρεσιν ὡς πρόβατα, οἷς οὐκ ἔστι ποιμήν, καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· οὐκ ἔχουσιν ἡγούμενον οὗτοι, ἀναστρεφέτωσαν ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἐν εἰρήνῃ.

¹⁷καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς ᾿Ιωσαφάτ· οὐκ εἶπόν σοι, ὅτι οὐ προφητεύει περὶ ἐμοῦ ἀγαθά, ἀλλ’ ἢ κακά;

¹⁸καὶ εἶπεν· οὐχ οὕτως· ἀκούσατε λόγον Κυρίου· εἶδον τὸν Κύριον καθήμενον ἐπὶ θρόνου αὐτοῦ, καὶ πᾶσα δύναμις τοῦ οὐρανοῦ παρειστήκει ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξ ἀριστερῶν αὐτοῦ.

¹⁹καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· τίς ἀπατήσει τὸν ᾿Αχαὰβ βασιλέα ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ἀναβήσεται καὶ πεσεῖται ἐν Ῥαμὼθ Γαλαάδ; καὶ οὗτος εἶπεν οὕτως, καὶ οὗτος εἶπεν οὕτως.

²⁰καὶ ἐξῆλθε τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ ἔστη ἐνώπιον Κυρίου καὶ εἶπεν· ἐγὼ ἀπατήσω αὐτόν. καὶ εἶπε Κύριος· ἐν τίνι;

²¹καὶ εἶπεν· ἐξελεύσομαι καὶ ἔσομαι πνεῦμα ψευδὲς ἐν στόματι πάντων τῶν προφητῶν αὐτοῦ. καὶ εἶπεν· ἀπατήσεις καὶ δυνήσῃ, ἔξελθε καὶ ποίησον οὕτω.

²²καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἔδωκε Κύριος πνεῦμα ψευδὲς ἐν στόματι τῶν προφητῶν σου τούτων, καὶ Κύριος ἐλάλησεν ἐπὶ σὲ κακά.

²³καὶ ἤγγισε Σεδεκίας υἱὸς Χαναὰν καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν Μιχαίαν ἐπὶ τὴν σιαγόνα καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· ποίᾳ τῇ ὁδῷ παρῆλθε πνεῦμα Κυρίου παρ’ ἐμοῦ τοῦ λαλῆσαι πρός σε;

²⁴καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας· ἰδοὺ ὄψῃ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, ἐν ᾗ εἰσελεύσῃ ταμιεῖον ἐκ ταμιείου τοῦ κατακρυβῆναι.

²⁵καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραήλ· λάβετε τὸν Μιχαίαν καὶ ἀποστρέψατε πρὸς ᾿Εμὴρ ἄρχοντα τῆς πόλεως καὶ πρὸς ᾿Ιωὰς ἄρχοντα υἱὸν τοῦ βασιλέως

²⁶καὶ ἐρεῖτε· οὕτως εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεύς· ἀπόθεσθε τοῦτον εἰς οἶκον φυλακῆς, καὶ ἐσθιέτω ἄρτον θλίψεως καὶ ὕδωρ θλίψεως ἕως τοῦ ἐπιστρέψαι με ἐν εἰρήνῃ.

²⁷καὶ εἶπε Μιχαίας· ἐὰν ἐπιστρέφων ἐπιστρέψῃς ἐν εἰρήνῃ, οὐκ ἐλάλησε Κύριος ἐν ἐμοί· ἀκούσατε λαοὶ πάντες.

²⁸Καὶ ἀνέβη βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ ᾿Ιωσαφὰτ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ιούδα εἰς Ῥαμὼθ Γαλαάδ.

²⁹καὶ εἶπε βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ πρὸς ᾿Ιωσαφάτ· κατακάλυψόν με καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς τὸν πόλεμον, καὶ σὺ ἔνδυσαι τὸν ἱματισμόν μου· καὶ συνεκαλύψατο βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸν πόλεμον.

³⁰καὶ βασιλεὺς Συρίας ἐνετείλατο τοῖς ἄρχουσι τῶν ἁρμάτων τοῖς μετ’ αὐτοῦ λέγων· μὴ πολεμεῖτε τὸν μικρὸν καὶ τὸν μέγαν, ἀλλ’ ἢ τὸν βασιλέα ᾿Ισραὴλ μόνον.

³¹καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδον οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων τὸν ᾿Ιωσαφάτ, καὶ αὐτοὶ εἶπαν· βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραήλ ἐστι, καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν αὐτὸν τοῦ πολεμεῖν· καὶ ἐβόησεν ᾿Ιωσαφάτ, καὶ Κύριος ἔσωσεν αὐτόν, καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεὸς ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ.

³²καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδον οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἁρμάτων ὅτι οὐκ ἦν βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ.

³³καὶ ἀνὴρ ἔτεινε τόξον εὐστόχως καὶ ἐπάταξε τὸν βασιλέα ᾿Ισραὴλ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ πνεύμονος καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ θώρακος. καὶ εἶπε τῷ ἡνιόχῳ· ἐπίστρεφε τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ ἐξάγαγέ με ἐκ τοῦ πολέμου, ὅτι ἐπόνεσα.

³⁴καὶ ἐτροπώθη ὁ πόλεμος ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ· καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἦν ἑστηκὼς ἐπὶ τοῦ ἅρματος ἐξεναντίας Συρίας ἕως ἑσπέρας καὶ ἀπέθανε δύνοντος τοῦ ἡλίου.

¹And Josaphat had yet great wealth and glory, and he connected himself by marriage with the house of Achaab.

²And he went down after a term of years to Achaab to Samaria: and Achaab slew for him sheep and calves, in abundance, and for the people with him, and he much desired him to go up with him to Ramoth of the country of Galaad.

³And Achaab king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth of the country of Galaad? And he said to him, As I [am], so also [art] thou, as thy people, [so] also [is] my people with thee for the war.

⁴And Josaphat said to the king of Israel, Seek, I pray thee, the Lord to-day.

⁵And the king of Israel gathered the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God shall deliver [it] into the hands of the king.

⁶And Josaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we may enquire of him?

⁷And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, There is yet one man by whom to enquire of the Lord; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy concerning me for good, for all his days [are] for evil: this [is] Michaias the son of Jembla. And Josaphat said, Let not the king say so.

⁸And the king called an eunuch, and said, [Fetch] quickly Michaias the son of Jembla.

⁹And the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda were sitting each on his throne, and clothed in their robes, sitting in the open space at the entrance of the gate of Samaria: and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

¹⁰And Sedekias son of Chanaan made for himself iron horns, and said, Thus saith the Lord, With these thou shalt thrust Syria until it be consumed.

¹¹And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth Galaad, and thou shalt prosper; and the Lord shall deliver it into the hands of the king.

¹²And the messenger that went to call Michaias spoke to him, saying, Behold, the prophets have spoken favourably concerning the king with one mouth; let now, I pray thee, thy words be as [the words] of one of them, and do thou speak good things.

¹³And Michaias said, [As] the Lord lives, whatever God shall say to me, that will I speak.

¹⁴And he came to the king, and the king said to him, Michaias, shall I go up to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go up, and thou shalt prosper, and they shall be given into your hands.

¹⁵And the king said to him, How often shall I solemnly charge thee that thou speak to me nothing but truth in the name of the Lord?

¹⁶And he said, I saw Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no commander; let each return to his home in peace.

¹⁷And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Said I not to thee, that he would not prophesy concerning me good, but evil?

¹⁸But he said, Not so. Hear ye the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven stood by on his right hand and on his left.

¹⁹And the Lord said, Who will deceive Achaab king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke this way, and another spoke that way.

²⁰And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will deceive him. And the Lord said, Whereby?

²¹And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And [the Lord] said, Thou shalt deceive [him], and shalt prevail: go forth, and do so.

²²And now, behold, the Lord has put a false spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against thee.

²³Then Sedekias the son of Chanaan drew near, and smote Michaias on the cheek, and said to him, By what way passed the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak to thee?

²⁴And Michaias said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself.

²⁵And the king of Israel said, Take Michaias, and carry him back to Emer the governor of the city, and to Joas the captain, the king’s son;

²⁶and ye shall say, Thus said the king, Put this fellow into the prison house, and let him eat the bread of affliction, and [drink] the water of affliction, until I return in peace.

²⁷And Michaias said, If thou do at all return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, all ye people.

²⁸So the king of Israel, and Josaphat king of Juda, went up to Ramoth Galaad.

²⁹And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Disguise me, and I will enter into the battle: and do thou put on my raiment. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into the battle.

³⁰Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight neither against small nor great, but only against the king of Israel.

³¹And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel: and they compassed him about to fight against him: and Josaphat cried out, and the Lord delivered him; and God turned them away from him.

³²And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned away from him.

³³And a man drew a bow with a good aim, and smote the king of Israel between the lungs and the breast-plate: and he said to the charioteer, Turn thine hand, drive me out of the battle, for I am wounded.

³⁴And the battle turned in that day; and the king of Israel remained on the chariot against Syria until evening, and died at sunset.
