This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
22:29 Ahav’s death
29 So so Israel’s King Ahav and Yehudah’s King Yehoshafat left to go and attack Ramot-Gilead, 30 and Ahav told Yehoshafat, “I’ll go into the battle incognito, but you can wear your royal robes.” So Israel’s king changed into ordinary clothes before heading into the battle.
31 Meanwhile, Aram’s king had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, “Don’t fight with the rank and file—only attack Israel’s king.” 32 As soon as the chariot commanders sayw Yehudah’s King Yehoshafat, they thought to themselves, “Surely that’s Israel’s king.” So then they came over to attack him, but Yehoshafat yelled out, 33 and as soon as they realised that he wasn’t the king of Israel, they stopped chasing him. 34 But one man casually shot an arrow with his and it struck Israel’s king between the plates of his body armour, and he called to his chariot driver, “Turn around and get me out of the battle because I’ve been wounded.”
35 The battle carried on all that day and King Ahav was propped up in his chariot opposite Aram, however he died that evening and the blood from his wound pooled into the bottom of his the chariot. 36 Then the call went through the battle lines just as the sun was doing down, “Every man should abandon the battlefield and return to his home”
37 So King Ahav died and was taken back to Shomron where he was buried. 38 They washed out the chariot beside the pool in Shomron (where the prostitutes bathed themselves), and dogs licked up the blood, just as Yahweh had said would happen.
39 Everything else about Ahav and everything that he did, including the ivory palace and all the cities that he had built, is written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel. 40 Now that Ahav was dead, his son Ahazziah replaced him as king.
22:29 Note: BHS has been faithful to the Leningrad Codex where there might be a question of the validity of the form and we keep the same form as BHS.
