Now Jehoram
the son
of Ahab
began to reign
over
Israel
in Samaria
the eighteenth
year
of Jehoshaphat
king
of Judah
,
and reigned
twelve
years
.
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
.
3
Nevertheless he cleaved
unto the sins
of Jeroboam
the son
of Nebat
,
which
made Israel
to sin
;
he departed
not therefrom.
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
.
5
But it came to pass, when Ahab
was dead
,
that the king
of Moab
rebelled
against the king
of Israel
.
6
And king
Jehoram
went out
of Samaria
the same time
,
and numbered
all
Israel
.
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
.
8
And he said
,
Which way
shall we go up
? And he answered
,
The way
through the wilderness
of Edom.
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.
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
!
11
But Jehoshaphat
said
,
Is there
not
here
a prophet
of the LORD
, that we may inquire
of the LORD
by him? And one
of the king
of Israel's
servants
answered
and
said
,
Here
is
Elisha
the son
of Shaphat
,
which poured
water
on the hands
of Elijah
.
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.
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
.
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.
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.
16
And he said
,
Thus
saith
the LORD
,
Make
this
valley
full
of ditches
.
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
.
18
And this is
but
a light thing
in the sight
of the LORD
:
he will deliver
the Moabites
also into your hand
.
19
And ye sh
all
smite
every
fenced
city
,
and
every
choice
city
,
and sh
all
fell
every
good
tree
,
and stop
all
wells
of water
,
and mar
every
good
piece
of land with stones
.
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
.
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
.
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
:
23
And they said
,
This
is
blood
:
the kings
are surely
slain
,
and they have smitten
one
another
: now therefore, Moab,
to the spoil
.
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.
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
left
they the stones
thereof; howbeit the slingers
went about
it
, and smote it.
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.
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
.
