God drew them away from him. 32And when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him. 33However, a certain man drew his bow without taking special aim, and he struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So the king said to his charioteer, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded!”…
