3JORAM SON of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.H3088H1121H256H4427H3478H8111H8083H6240H8141H3092H4428H3063H4427H8147H6240H8141 2He did evil in the sight of the Lord, but not like his father and mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.H6213H7451H5869H3068H1H517H5493H4676H1168H1H6213 3Yet he clung to the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not from them.H1692H2403H3379H1121H5028H3478H2398H5493 4Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and paid in tribute to the king of Israel [annually] 100,000 lambs and 100,000 rams, with the wool.H4338H4428H4124H5349H7725H4428H3478H3967H505H3733H3967H505H352H6785 5But when Ahab died, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.H256H4194H4428H4124H6586H4428H3478 6So King Joram went out of Samaria at that time and mustered all Israel.H4428H3088H3318H8111H3117H6485H3478 7And he sent to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to war against Moab? And he said, I will go; I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.H3212H7971H3092H4428H3063H559H4428H4124H6586H3212H4124H4421H559H5927H5971H5971H5483H5483 8Joram said, Which way shall we go up? Jehoshaphat answered, The way through the Wilderness of Edom.H559H1870H5927H559H1870H4057H123 9So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom. They made a circuit of seven days' journey, but there was no water for the army or for the animals following them.H4428H3478H3212H4428H3063H4428H123H5437H7651H3117H1870H4325H4264H929H7272 10Then the king of Israel said, Alas! The Lord has called [us] three kings together to be delivered into Moab's hand!H4428H3478H559H162H3068H7121H7969H4428H7121H5414H3027H4124 11But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no prophet of the Lord here by whom we may inquire of the Lord? One of the king of Israel's servants answered, Elisha son of Shaphat, who served Elijah, is here.H3092H559H5030H3068H1875H3068H259H4428H3478H5650H6030H559H477H1121H8202H3332H4325H3027H452 12Jehoshaphat said, The word of the Lord is with him. So Joram king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to Elisha.H3092H559H1697H3068H3426H4428H3478H3092H4428H123H3381 13And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your [wicked] father Ahab and your [wicked] mother Jezebel. But the king of Israel said to him, No, for the Lord has called [us] three kings together to be delivered into the hand of Moab.H477H559H4428H3478H3212H5030H1H5030H517H4428H3478H559H3068H7121H7969H4428H7121H5414H3027H4124 14And Elisha said, As the Lord of hosts lives, before Whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would neither look at you nor see you [King Joram].H477H559H3068H6635H2416H6440H5975H3884H5375H6440H3092H4428H3063H5027H7200 15But now bring me a minstrel. And while the minstrel played, the hand {and} power of the Lord came upon [Elisha].H3947H5059H5059H5059H3027H3068 16And he said, Thus says the Lord: Make this [dry] brook bed full of trenches.H559H559H3068H6213H5158H1356 17For thus says the Lord: You shall not see wind or rain, yet that ravine shall be filled with water, so you, your cattle, and your beasts [of burden] may drink.H559H3068H7200H7307H7200H1653H5158H4390H4325H8354H4735H929 18This is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord. He will deliver the Moabites also into your hands.H7043H5869H3068H5414H4124H3027 19You shall smite every fenced city and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree and stop all wells of water and mar every good piece of land with stones.H5221H4013H5892H4004H5892H5307H2896H6086H5640H4599H4325H3510H2896H2513H68 20In the morning, when the sacrifice was offered, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.H1242H4503H5927H935H4325H1870H123H776H4390H4325 21When all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, all who were able to put on armor, young and old, gathered and drew up at the border.H4124H8085H4428H5927H3898H6817H2296H2290H4605H5975H1366 22When they rose up early next morning, and the sun shone upon the water, the Moabites saw the water across from them as red as blood.H7925H1242H8121H2224H4325H4124H7200H4325H5048H122H1818 23And they said, This is blood; the kings have surely been fighting and have slain one another. Now then, Moab, to the spoil!H559H1818H4428H2717H2717H5221H376H7453H4124H7998 24But when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them. And they went forward, slaying the Moabites as they went.H935H4264H3478H3478H6965H5221H4124H5127H6440H5221H5221H4124 25They beat down the cities [walls], and on every good piece of land every man cast a stone, covering it [with stones]. And they stopped all the springs of water and felled all the good trees, until only the stones [of the walls of Moab's capital city] of Kir-hareseth were left standing, and the slingers surrounded and took it.H2040H5892H2896H2513H7993H376H68H4390H5640H4599H4325H5307H2896H6086H7025H7604H68H7051H5437H5221 26And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was against him, he took with him 700 swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not.H4428H4124H7200H4421H2388H3947H7651H3967H376H8025H2719H1234H4428H123H3201 27Then he [Moab's king] took his eldest son, who was to reign in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall [in full view of the horrified enemy kings]. And there was great indignation, wrath, {and} bitterness against Israel; and they [his allies Judah and Edom] withdrew from [Joram] and returned to their own land.H3947H1060H1121H4427H5927H5930H2346H1419H7110H3478H5265H7725H776
