34But a certain man drew his bow at random ▼▼Hebrew in his innocence
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, cfor I am wounded.” 35And the battle continued that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Syrians, until at evening he died. And the blood of the wound flowed into the bottom of the chariot. 36And about sunset a cry went through the army, “Every man to his city, and every man to his country!” 2 Chronicles 18:33-34

1 e“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” declares the Lord. 2Therefore thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning fthe shepherds who care for my people: “You have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. gBehold, I will attend to you for your evil deeds, declares the Lord.Ezekiel 34:5-6
5 hSo they were scattered, because there was no shepherd, and ithey became food for all the wild beasts. My sheep were scattered; 6they wandered over all the mountains and on every high hill. My sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, jwith none to search or seek for them.Ezekiel 34:8
8 kAs I live, declares the Lord God, surely because lmy sheep have become a prey, and my sheep have become food for all the wild beasts, since there was no shepherd, and because my shepherds have not searched for my sheep, but the shepherds have fed themselves, and have not fed my sheep,Zechariah 10:2
2For mthe household gods nutter nonsense,and the diviners see lies;
othey tell false dreams
and give empty consolation.
Therefore pthe people wander like sheep;
they are afflicted for lack of a shepherd.
Zechariah 13:7
The Shepherd Struck
7 “Awake, O sword, against qmy shepherd,against the man who stands next to me,”
declares the Lord of hosts.
