1. Kongebok 22,32

Jehoshaphat

30 Kongen av Israel sa til Josjafat: "Jeg vil forkledde meg når jeg går i kamp, men du ha på deg dine kongelige klær." Så forkledde kongen av Israel seg og gikk i kamp.

31 I mellomtiden hadde kongen av Aram beordret sine trettito vognkommandører: "Ikke angrip noen, verken liten eller stor, unntatt kongen av Israel."

Da vognkommandørene så Josjafat, tenkte de: "Sikkert er dette kongen av Israel." Så de vendte seg for å angripe ham, men Josjafat ropte ut.

33 Da vognkommandørene så at han ikke var kongen av Israel, vendte de seg bort fra ham.

34 Men en mann spente buen tilfeldig og traff kongen av Israel mellom leddene i hans rustning. Han sa til sin vognfører: "Snu og få meg ut av kampen, for jeg er såret."
