And when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they said, 'It is the king of Israel.' So they turned to fight against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD saved him; God drew them away from him — The Aramean chariot-commanders (וַיִּרְאוּ שָׂרֵי־הַרִכֶב אֶת־יְהוֹשָׁפָט) mistook Jehoshaphat for Ahab and attacked him. Jehoshaphat cried out (וַיִּצְעַק יְהוֹשָׁפָט) and was miraculously saved (וַיַּצִּלוֹ אֱלֹהִים וַיַּסִּירוּ מֵהִם אֱלֹהִים). God's protection of the Judahite king demonstrated that Jehoshaphat, despite his compromise, remained under divine care.
