And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.

Verse 34 is found in chapter 22 of 1 Kings. Ahab enters battle in disguise, while Jehoshaphat retains his royal garments. The Syrians initially pursue Jehoshaphat, but eventually an arrow shot at random mortally wounds Ahab. His attempt to avoid the prophecy through disguise fails. The king’s death occurs in a way that emphasizes that Micaiah’s announced word cannot be nullified through human strategies.

Ein Mann aber spannte den Bogen von ungefähr und schoß den König Israels zwischen Panzer und Wehrgehänge. Und er sprach zu seinem Fuhrmann: Wende deine Hand und führe mich aus dem Heer, denn ich bin wund!
Y un hombre disparando su arco a la ventura, hirió al rey de Israel por entre las junturas de la armadura; por lo que dijo él a su carretero: Toma la vuelta, y sácame del campo, que estoy herido.
Un hombre disparó su arco al azar e hirió al rey de Israel por una juntura de la armadura. El rey le dijo al conductor de su carro: «Da la vuelta y sácame del campo de batalla, porque estoy herido».
Alors un homme tira de son arc au hasard, et frappa le roi d'Israël au défaut de la cuirasse. Le roi dit à celui qui dirigeait son char: Tourne, et fais-moi sortir du champ de bataille, car je suis blessé.
Allora qualcuno tirò con l’arco a caso, e ferì il re d’Israele fra le falde e la corazza; laonde egli disse al suo carrettiere: Volta la mano, e menami fuor del campo; perciocchè io son ferito.
Então um homem armou o arco, e atirou a esmo, e feriu o rei de Israel por entre as fivelas e as couraças; então ele disse ao seu carreteiro: Dá volta, e tira-me do exército, porque estou gravemente ferido.
