What does "2 chronicles 18:32" mean?
This verse refers to a specific event in the battle between Israel (under King Ahab) and Aram (Syria). King Ahab, knowing he was the target of the Syrian king's forces, disguised himself as a regular soldier. However, the Syrian king, Ben-Hadad, had specifically ordered his chariot captains to target only Ahab: "Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel."
Therefore, the verse means that when the chariot captains realized that the soldier they were pursuing was not King Ahab, they stopped chasing him. They were under orders to eliminate the king, and had no interest in wasting their efforts on anyone else. They turned their attention back to finding the true king.
