2 Kings 3:1-19

3:1
Now Jehoram
<03088>
the son
<01121>
of Ahab
<0256>
began to reign
<04427> (8804)
over Israel
<03478>
in Samaria
<08111>
the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>
year
<08141>
of Jehoshaphat
<03092>
king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and reigned
<04427> (8799)
twelve
<08147> <06240>
years
<08141>_.
3:2
And he wrought
<06213> (8799)
evil
<07451>
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_;
but not like his father
<01>_,
and like his mother
<0517>_:
for he put away
<05493> (8686)
the image
<04676>
of Baal
<01168>
that his father
<01>
had made
<06213> (8804)_.
{image: Heb. statue}
3:3
Nevertheless he cleaved
<01692> (8804)
unto the sins
<02403>
of Jeroboam
<03379>
the son
<01121>
of Nebat
<05028>_,
which made Israel
<03478>
to sin
<02398> (8689)_;
he departed
<05493> (8804)
not therefrom.
3:4
And Mesha
<04338>
king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>
was a sheepmaster
<05349>_,
and rendered
<07725> (8689)
unto the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
an hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
lambs
<03733>_,
and an hundred
<03967>
thousand
<0505>
rams
<0352>_,
with the wool
<06785>_.
3:5
But it came to pass, when Ahab
<0256>
was dead
<04194>_,
that the king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>
rebelled
<06586> (8799)
against the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_.
3:6
And king
<04428>
Jehoram
<03088>
went out
<03318> (8799)
of Samaria
<08111>
the same time
<03117>_,
and numbered
<06485> (8799)
all Israel
<03478>_.
3:7
And he went
<03212> (8799)
and sent
<07971> (8799)
to Jehoshaphat
<03092>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The king
<04428>
of Moab
<04124>
hath rebelled
<06586> (8804)
against me: wilt thou go
<03212> (8799)
with me against Moab
<04124>
to battle
<04421>_?
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
I will go up
<05927> (8799)_:
I [am] as thou [art], my people
<05971>
as thy people
<05971>_,
[and] my horses
<05483>
as thy horses
<05483>_.
3:8
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Which way
<01870>
shall we go up
<05927> (8799)_?
And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,
The way
<01870>
through the wilderness
<04057>
of Edom
<0123>_.
3:9
So the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
went
<03212> (8799)_,
and the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and the king
<04428>
of Edom
<0123>_:
and they fetched a compass
<05437> (8799)
of seven
<07651>
days
<03117>_'
journey
<01870>_:
and there was no water
<04325>
for the host
<04264>_,
and for the cattle
<0929>
that followed
<07272>
them. {that...: Heb. at their feet}
3:10
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Alas
<0162>_!
that the LORD
<03068>
hath called
<07121> (0)
these three
<07969>
kings
<04428>
together
<07121> (8804)_,
to deliver
<05414> (8800)
them into the hand
<03027>
of Moab
<04124>_!
3:11
But Jehoshaphat
<03092>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[Is there] not here a prophet
<05030>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
that we may enquire
<01875> (8799)
of the LORD
<03068>
by him? And one
<0259>
of the king
<04428>
of Israel's
<03478>
servants
<05650>
answered
<06030> (8799)
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Here [is] Elisha
<0477>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphat
<08202>_,
which poured
<03332> (8804)
water
<04325>
on the hands
<03027>
of Elijah
<0452>_.
3:12
And Jehoshaphat
<03092>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
The word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>
is
<03426>
with him. So the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
and Jehoshaphat
<03092>
and the king
<04428>
of Edom
<0123>
went down
<03381> (8799)
to him.
3:13
And Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
What have I to do with thee? get
<03212> (8798)
thee to the prophets
<05030>
of thy father
<01>_,
and to the prophets
<05030>
of thy mother
<0517>_.
And the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Nay: for the LORD
<03068>
hath called
<07121> (0)
these three
<07969>
kings
<04428>
together
<07121> (8804)_,
to deliver
<05414> (8800)
them into the hand
<03027>
of Moab
<04124>_.
3:14
And Elisha
<0477>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>
liveth
<02416>_,
before
<06440>
whom I stand
<05975> (8804)_,
surely, were it not that
<03884>
I regard
<05375> (8802)
the presence
<06440>
of Jehoshaphat
<03092>
the king
<04428>
of Judah
<03063>_,
I would not look
<05027> (8686)
toward thee, nor see
<07200> (8799)
thee.
3:15
But now bring
<03947> (8798)
me a minstrel
<05059> (8764)_.
And it came to pass, when the minstrel
<05059> (8764)
played
<05059> (8763)_,
that the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
came upon him.
3:16
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Make
<06213> (8800)
this valley
<05158>
full of ditches
<01356>_.
3:17
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Ye shall not see
<07200> (8799)
wind
<07307>_,
neither shall ye see
<07200> (8799)
rain
<01653>_;
yet that valley
<05158>
shall be filled
<04390> (8735)
with water
<04325>_,
that ye may drink
<08354> (8804)_,
both ye, and your cattle
<04735>_,
and your beasts
<0929>_.
3:18
And this is [but] a light thing
<07043> (8738)
in the sight
<05869>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
he will deliver
<05414> (8804)
the Moabites
<04124>
also into your hand
<03027>_.
3:19
And ye shall smite
<05221> (8689)
every fenced
<04013>
city
<05892>_,
and every choice
<04004>
city
<05892>_,
and shall fell
<05307> (8686)
every good
<02896>
tree
<06086>_,
and stop
<05640> (8799)
all wells
<04599>
of water
<04325>_,
and mar
<03510> (8686)
every good
<02896>
piece
<02513>
of land with stones
<068>_.
