And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle — Ahab disguises himself in an attempt to avoid being recognized and targeted by Ben-hadad's army. The phrase shows the king's fear—he hedges his bets by disguising while sending the more prominent Jehoshaphat in full regalia.
