between the, etc.
Heb. between the joints and between thebreast plate. The {shiryon,} in Syriac, {sheryono,} seems to have covered both the back and breast of the warrior, and was consequently not properly a breast-plate, but a coat of mail or corslet. The corslet was made of flax or of wool woven very thick, of ox-hide, of brass, or of iron.
The metallic corslet consisted not of solid piece, but of scales, hooks, or rings, connected like the links of a chain, that the warrior might move with greater ease.
It was between the joints of this harness that Ahab received his mortal wound.

Heb. made sick.
2 Chron. 35:23• 23And the archers shot at king Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Have me away, for I am sore wounded. (2 Chron. 35:23)
• Ahab, hidden from men's eyes under his borrowed clothing, does not escape God's eye or His judgment. An archer drawing a bow at a venture hits him. To the world it was chance, but that chance was God! (“Jehoshaphat - The Covenant With Ahab: 2 Chronicles 18” by H.L. Rossier)
