2 Kings 3:1-27

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>_.

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}

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.

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>_.

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>_.

And king
<04428>

Jehoram
<03088>

went out
<03318> (8799)

of Samaria
<08111>

the same time
<03117>_,

and numbered
<06485> (8799)

all Israel
<03478>_.

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>_.

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>_.

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}

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>_!

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>_.

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.

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>_.

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.

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.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Make
<06213> (8800)

this valley
<05158>

full of ditches
<01356>_.

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>_.

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>_.

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>_.

{mar: Heb. grieve}

And it came to pass in the morning
<01242>_,

when the meat offering
<04503>

was offered
<05927> (8800)_,

that, behold, there came
<0935> (8802)

water
<04325>

by the way
<01870>

of Edom
<0123>_,

and the country
<0776>

was filled
<04390> (8735)

with water
<04325>_.

And when all the Moabites
<04124>

heard
<08085> (8804)

that the kings
<04428>

were come up
<05927> (8804)

to fight
<03898> (8736)

against them, they gathered
<06817> (8735)

all that were able to put
<02296> (8802)

on armour
<02290>_,

and upward
<04605>_,

and stood
<05975> (8799)

in the border
<01366>_.

{gathered: Heb. were cried together} {put on...: Heb. gird himself with a girdle}

And they rose up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and the sun
<08121>

shone
<02224> (8804)

upon the water
<04325>_,

and the Moabites
<04124>

saw
<07200> (8799)

the water
<04325>

on the other side
<05048>

[as] red
<0122>

as blood
<01818>_:

And they said
<0559> (8799)_,

This [is] blood
<01818>_:

the kings
<04428>

are surely
<02717> (8715)

slain
<02717> (8738)_,

and they have smitten
<05221> (8686)

one
<0376>

another
<07453>_:

now therefore, Moab
<04124>_,

to the spoil
<07998>_.

{slain: Heb. destroyed}

And when they came
<0935> (8799)

to the camp
<04264>

of Israel
<03478>_,

the Israelites
<03478>

rose up
<06965> (8799)

and smote
<05221> (8686)

the Moabites
<04124>_,

so that they fled
<05127> (8799)

before
<06440>

them: but they went forward
<05221> (8686)

smiting
<05221> (8687)

the Moabites
<04124>_,

even in [their] country. {they went...: or, they smote in it even smiting}

And they beat down
<02040> (8799)

the cities
<05892>_,

and on every good
<02896>

piece
<02513>

of land cast
<07993> (8686)

every man
<0376>

his stone
<068>_,

and filled
<04390> (8765)

it; and they stopped
<05640> (8799)

all the wells
<04599>

of water
<04325>_,

and felled
<05307> (8686)

all the good
<02896>

trees
<06086>_:

only in Kirharaseth
<07025>

left
<07604> (8689)

they the stones
<068>

thereof; howbeit the slingers
<07051>

went about
<05437> (8799)

[it], and smote
<05221> (8686)

it. {only in...: Heb. until he left its stones in Kirharaseth}

And when the king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that the battle
<04421>

was too sore
<02388> (8804)

for him, he took
<03947> (8799)

with him seven
<07651>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

that drew
<08025> (8802)

swords
<02719>_,

to break through
<01234> (8687)

[even] unto the king
<04428>

of Edom
<0123>_:

but they could
<03201> (8804)

not.

Then he took
<03947> (8799)

his eldest
<01060>

son
<01121>

that should have reigned
<04427> (8799)

in his stead, and offered
<05927> (8686)

him [for] a burnt offering
<05930>

upon the wall
<02346>_.

And there was great
<01419>

indignation
<07110>

against Israel
<03478>_:

and they departed
<05265> (8799)

from him, and returned
<07725> (8799)

to [their own] land
<0776>_.
