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 — An arrow, shot without specific aim, pierces Ahab between the joints of his armor. The phrase shows the fulfillment of prophetic judgment: Ahab is wounded by a "random" arrow—divine providence working through human chance.
