וַתַּעֲלֶ֤ה הַמִּלְחָמָה֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא וְהַמֶּ֗לֶךְ הָיָ֧ה מָעֳמָ֛ד בַּמֶּרְכָּבָ֖ה נֹ֣כַח אֲרָ֑ם וַיָּ֣מָת בָּעֶ֔רֶב וַיִּ֥צֶק דַּֽם־הַמַּכָּ֖ה אֶל־חֵ֥יק הָרָֽכֶב׃
Pertempuran pada hari itu makin sengit, sementara raja tetap bertahan berdiri tegak di dalam keretanya menghadapi orang Aram. Ia mati pada waktu petang, dan darah dari lukanya mengalir ke dasar kereta itu.
