*
So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom ,
and they marched on that roundabout route seven days ;
and there was no water for the army ,
nor for the animals that followed them .
*
And the king of Israel said , "
Alas !
For the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab ."
*
But Jehoshaphat said , "
Is there no prophet of the LORD here ,
that we may inquire of the LORD by him ?"
So one of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said , "
Elisha the son of Shaphat is here ,
who poured water on the hands of Elijah ."
*
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 .
*
Then Elisha said to the king of Israel , "
What have I to do with you ?
Go to the prophets of your father and the prophets of your mother ."
But the king of Israel said to him , "
No ,
for the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab ."
*
And Elisha said , "
As the LORD of hosts lives ,
before whom I stand ,
surely were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah ,
I would not look at you ,
nor see you .
*
But now bring me a musician ."
Then it happened ,
when the musician played ,
that the hand of the LORD came upon him .
*
And he said , "
Thus says the LORD : "
Make this valley full of ditches .'
*
For thus says the LORD : "
You shall not see wind ,
nor shall you see rain ;
yet that valley shall be filled with water ,
so that you ,
your cattle ,
and your animals may drink .'
*
And this is a simple matter in the sight of the LORD ;
He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand .
*
Also you shall attack every fortified city and every choice city ,
and shall cut down every good tree ,
and stop up every spring of water ,
and ruin every good piece of land with stones ."
*
Now it happened in the morning ,
when the grain offering was offered ,
that suddenly water came by way of Edom ,
and the land was filled with water .
