1 Kings 22:34

And a certain man drew a bow 8*at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the 9joints 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 10wounded.

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.

NKJV: Now a certain man drew a bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am wounded.”

ESV: But a certain man drew his bow at random and struck the king of Israel between the scale armor and the breastplate. Therefore he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am wounded.”
