Ahab’s Defeat and Death

³⁶As the sun was setting, the cry rang out in the army: “Every man to his own city, and every man to his own land!”³⁷So the king died and was brought to Samaria, where they buried him. ³⁸And the chariot was washed at the pool of Samaria where the prostitutes bathed, and the dogs licked up Ahab’s blood, according to the word that the LORD had spoken.

Summary

This verse describes the fulfillment of the prophecy given by Micaiah, the prophet, regarding the death of King Ahab. Despite disguising himself in battle, Ahab was struck by a random arrow and died in his chariot. The accuracy of Micaiah's prophecy showcases the sovereignty of God and His faithfulness to His word. It serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and the importance of heeding the warnings and counsel of God's messengers.
