1 Kings22:30

30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise my self , and enter into the battel, but put thou on thy robes . And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battel.

i. e. Put off my Imperial habit, that the Syrians may not know me, and direct their main Force against me; which they will assuredly endeavour, as knowing that this War proceedeth from me, and is likely to die with me: and then thou shalt see that this Man is a false Prophet, and I shall have the success which I desire and expect, notwithstanding all his presages.

Thy Royal Robes: which thou maist do without any danger, because thou art not the object either of the Syrians rage, or of this false Prophecy.

Marginal references: Or, when he was to disguise himself, and enter into the battel.
