Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Kings 22:34

"And a certain man drew his bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the armor: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thy hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am sore wounded." — 1 Kings 22:34 (ASV)

A certain man. —Josephus says, “a young man named Naaman.” (Compare to 2 Kings 5:1: “because by him the Lord had given deliverance to Syria.”)

The driver of his chariot. —In the Egyptian and Assyrian monuments, as subsequently in the Greek of the Homeric days, the war-chariot holds only two: the warrior and the charioteer. This is the first place where the chariot, introduced by Solomon from Egypt (1 Kings 10:29), is mentioned as actually used in war. (See also 2 Kings 9:16; 2 Kings 9:21; 2 Kings 23:30; and compare the proverbial expression of this period, “The chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof,” 2 Kings 2:12; 2 Kings 13:14.)
