@ Now
Jehoram
the
son
of
Ahab
began to
reign
over
Israel
in
Samaria
the
eighteenth
sh@
year
of
Jehoshaphat
king
of
Judah
, and
reigned
twelve
sh@
years
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:2
@ And he
wrought
evil
in the
sight
of the
LORD
; but not like his
father
, and like his
mother
: for he put
away
the
image
of
Baal
that his
father
had
made
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:3
@ Nevertheless he
cleaved
unto the
sins
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Nebat
, which made
Israel
to
sin
; he
departed
not therefrom.
strkjv@2Kings:3:4
@ And
Mesha
king
of
Moab
was a
sheepmaster
, and
rendered
unto the
king
of
Israel
an
hundred
thousand
lambs
, and an
hundred
thousand
rams
, with the
wool
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:5
@ But it came to pass, when
Ahab
was
dead
, that the
king
of
Moab
rebelled
against the
king
of
Israel
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:6
@ And
king
Jehoram
went
out
of
Samaria
the same
time
, and
numbered
all
Israel
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:7
@ And he
went
and
sent
to
Jehoshaphat
the
king
of
Judah
,
saying
, The
king
of
Moab
hath
rebelled
against me: wilt thou
go
with me against
Moab
to
battle
? And he
said
, I will go
up
: I am as thou art, my
people
as thy
people
, and my
horses
as thy
horses
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:8
@ And he
said
, Which
way
shall we go
up
? And he
answered
, The
way
through the
wilderness
of
Edom
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:9
@ So the
king
of
Israel
went
, and the
king
of
Judah
, and the
king
of
Edom
: and they fetched a
compass
of
seven
days
journey
: and there was no
water
for the
host
, and for the
cattle
that
followed
them.
strkjv@2Kings:3:10
@ And the
king
of
Israel
said
,
Alas
! that the
LORD
hath
called
these
three
kings
together
, to
deliver
them into the
hand
of
Moab
!
strkjv@2Kings:3:11
@ But
Jehoshaphat
said
, Is there not here a
prophet
of the
LORD
, that we may
enquire
of the
LORD
by him? And
one
of the
king
of
Israels
servants
answered
and
said
, Here is
Elisha
the
son
of
Shaphat
, which
poured
water
on the
hands
of
Elijah
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:12
@ And
Jehoshaphat
said
, The
word
of the
LORD
is
with him. So the
king
of
Israel
and
Jehoshaphat
and the
king
of
Edom
went
down
to him.
strkjv@2Kings:3:13
@ And
Elisha
said
unto the
king
of
Israel
, What have I to do with thee?
get
thee to the
prophets
of thy
father
, and to the
prophets
of thy
mother
. And the
king
of
Israel
said
unto him, Nay: for the
LORD
hath
called
these
three
kings
together
, to
deliver
them into the
hand
of
Moab
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:14
@ And
Elisha
said
, As the
LORD
of
hosts
liveth
,
before
whom I
stand
, surely, were it not
that
I
regard
the
presence
of
Jehoshaphat
the
king
of
Judah
, I would not
look
toward thee, nor
see
thee.
strkjv@2Kings:3:15
@ But now
bring
me a
minstrel
. And it came to pass, when the
minstrel
played
, that the
hand
of the
LORD
came upon him.
strkjv@2Kings:3:16
@ And he
said
, Thus
saith
the
LORD
,
Make
this
valley
full of
ditches
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:17
@ For thus
saith
the
LORD
, Ye shall not
see
wind
, neither shall ye
see
rain
; yet that
valley
shall be
filled
with
water
, that ye may
drink
, both ye, and your
cattle
, and your
beasts
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:18
@ And this is but a light
thing
in the
sight
of the
LORD
: he will
deliver
the
Moabites
also into your
hand
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:19
@ And ye shall
smite
every
fenced
city
, and every
choice
city
, and shall
fell
every
good
tree
, and
stop
all
wells
of
water
, and
mar
ka' every
good
piece
of land with
stones
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:20
@ And it came to pass in the
morning
, when the meat
offering
was
offered
, that, behold, there
came
water
by the
way
of
Edom
, and the
country
was
filled
with
water
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:21
@ And when all the
Moabites
heard
that the
kings
were come
up
to
fight
against them, they
gathered
all that were able to
put
on
armour
, and
upward
, and
stood
in the
border
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:22
@ And they rose up
early
in the
morning
, and the
sun
shone
upon the
water
, and the
Moabites
saw
the
water
on the other
side
as
red
as
blood
:
strkjv@2Kings:3:23
@ And they
said
, This is
blood
: the
kings
are
surely
slain
, and they have
smitten
one
another
: now therefore,
Moab
, to the
spoil
.
strkjv@2Kings:3:24
@ And when they
came
to the
camp
of
Israel
, the
Israelites
rose
up
and
smote
the
Moabites
, so that they
fled
before
them: but they went
forward
smiting
the
Moabites
, even in their country.
strkjv@2Kings:3:25
@ And they beat
down
the
cities
, and on every
good
piece
of land
cast
every
man
his
stone
, and
filled
it; and they
stopped
all the
wells
of
water
, and
felled
all the
good
trees
: only in
Kirharaseth
Qiyr
left
they the
stones
thereof; howbeit the
slingers
went
about
it, and
smote
it.
strkjv@2Kings:3:26
@ And when the
king
of
Moab
saw
that the
battle
was too
sore
for him, he
took
with him
seven
hundred
men
that
drew
swords
, to break
through
even unto the
king
of
Edom
: but they
could
not.
strkjv@2Kings:3:27
@ Then he
took
his
eldest
son
that should have
reigned
in his stead, and
offered
him for a burnt
offering
upon the
wall
. And there was
great
indignation
against
Israel
: and they
departed
from him, and
returned
to their own
land
.
