Aight, amusing Bible Backfire Story.

Jehosephat, King of Judah went to hang out with Ahab (y'all have probs heard of Ahab, right?), the King of Israel. While J-hose was there, Ahb was gonna lead this attack on an opposing nation. So Ahb, knowing that the enemy was gonna target him were it known that he was the King, told J-hose to put on Ahb's armor and be the King of Israel, while Ahb camouflaged as a mere soldier. (I don't know why J-hose agreed to this, but he did. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

So, the enemy a guy in royal armor in the royal Chariot, and naturally assume that that there is King Ahb. So they corner him and are going on for the kill when J-hose cries out to God for help. God delivers him, and the enemy sees that this is not this King of Israel is not legit.

But! So Ahb's hanging out, being a civilian soldier, when an archer, not taking particular aim, fires a shaft and where should that shaft go but strAIGHT INTO KING AHB. He'd mortally wounded, and he tells his charioteer to drive him on home. And he DIES. And J-hose lives.

So, yeah, that's probably the best, or worst (I mean, Ahab wasn't the best of people, and his wife was virtually the worst person ever, but yeah) backfire in the Bible.

Tell this story next time someone tells you Bible is boring, cuz that fantastic book be anything but. ;) :)
