1 Kings 22:35

the king was stayed up in his chariot Some attempt was doubtless made to stop the bleeding, and it was thought best that though not in the fight, Ahab should not withdraw from the field. The LXX. says -from morning till evening," thus giving the impression that the king was wounded at the very beginning of the fight. The Chronicler says -he stayed himself up … until the even."This would be inferred from our verse. There is nothing to warrant the expression of the LXX.

into the midst[R.V. bottom] of the chariot As will be seen from the margin of A.V. the literal meaning is -bosom." The knowledge of how to stop the bleeding of a wound was not great in those days, and Ahab's wound must have been fatal whatever had been done. At this point we are left by the Chronicler who closes his notice of these events with the death of Ahab. Israel's history was no subject of concern for him, except where it touched on that of Judah.
