Exegesis
The paired imperatives hitchapes {הִתְחַפֵּשׂ֙ | hitḥappeś} ‘disguise yourself’ and levash {לְבַשׁ | ləvaš} ‘wear’ establish contrasting commands for the two kings.
In context — 2 Chronicles 18:29
The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and enter the battle , but you wear your garments .” So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into the battle.
