And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, 'I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your robes.' So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into battle — Ahab devised deception (וַיֹּאמֶר מֶלֶךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־יְהוֹשָׁפָט אֲנִי אִתְחַפֵּשׂ וָאָבוֹא בַמִּלְחָמָה וְאַתָּה לְבַשׁ בְּבִגְדֶיךָ): Ahab would disguise himself while Jehoshaphat wore royal garments. Ahab's anxiety about his fate manifested in his disguise-strategy.
