they turned back from pursuing him
on 2 Chronicles 18:32-34
Then “a certain man drew his bow without taking special aim” and struck Ahab. The Targum, Clarke records, names the archer Naaman and reads the shot as fulfilling both Elijah's word and Micaiah's. Chronicles ends with Ahab's death at sunset, leaving out the closing notice of 1 Kings 22:37-40.
