1 Now Jehoram H3088 the son H1121 of Ahab H256 began to reign H4427 over H5921 PREP Israel H3478 in Samaria H8111 the eighteenth H8083 MFS year H8141 B-CFS of Jehoshaphat H3092 king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , and reigned H4427 twelve H8147 MFS years H8141 B-CFS .
2 And he wrought H6213 evil H7451 in the sight H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS ; but H7535 ADV not H3808 NADV like his father H1 , and like his mother H517 : for he put away H5493 W-VHY3MS the image H4676 of Baal H1168 that H834 RPRO his father H1 had made H6213 VQQ3MS .
3 Nevertheless H7535 ADV he cleaved H1692 unto the sins H2403 of Jeroboam H3379 the son H1121 of Nebat H5028 , which H834 RPRO made Israel H3478 to sin H2398 ; he departed H5493 not H3808 NADV therefrom H4480 PREP-3FS .
4 And Mesha H4338 king H4428 NMS of Moab H4124 was H1961 VQQ3MS a sheepmaster H5349 , and rendered H7725 unto the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 a hundred H3967 MFS thousand H505 W-BMS lambs H3733 , and a hundred H3967 thousand H505 W-BMS rams H352 NMP , with the wool H6785 .
5 But it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when Ahab H256 was dead H4194 , that the king H4428 NMS of Moab H4124 rebelled H6586 against the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 LMS .
6 And king H4428 D-NMS Jehoram H3088 went out H3318 W-VQY3MS of Samaria H8111 the same H1931 D-PPRO-3MS time H3117 B-AMS , and numbered H6485 all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 LMS .
7 And he went H1980 W-VQY3MS and sent H7971 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP Jehoshaphat H3092 the king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , saying H559 W-VQY3MS , The king H4428 NMS of Moab H4124 hath rebelled H6586 against me : wilt thou go H1980 with H854 PREP-1MS me against H413 PREP Moab H4124 to battle H4421 ? And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , I will go up H5927 : I am as thou art , my people H5971 as thy people H5971 , and my horses H5483 as thy horses H5483 .
8 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Which H335 IPRO way H1870 NMS shall we go up H5927 ? And he answered H559 W-VQY3MS , The way H1870 NMS through the wilderness H4057 of Edom H123 .
9 So the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 went H1980 W-VQY3MS , and the king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , and the king H4428 NMS of Edom H123 : and they fetched a compass H5437 of seven H7651 RMS days H3117 NMP \' journey H1870 NMS : and there was H1961 VQQ3MS no H3808 W-NPAR water H4325 OMD for the host H4264 , and for the cattle H929 that H834 RPRO followed H7272 them .
10 And the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Alas H162 ! that H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS hath called H7121 VQQ3MS these H428 D-DPRO-3MP three H7969 L-BMS kings H4428 NMS together , to deliver H5414 L-VQFC them into the hand H3027 B-CFS of Moab H4124 !
11 But Jehoshaphat H3092 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Is there not H369 here H6311 ADV a prophet H5030 of the LORD H3068 L-EDS , that we may inquire H1875 of the LORD H3068 EDS by him ? And one H259 MMS of the king H4428 NMS of Israel\'s servants H5650 answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Here H6311 ADV is Elisha H477 the son H1121 of Shaphat H8202 , which H834 RPRO poured H3332 water H4325 OMD on H5921 PREP the hands H3027 CFD of Elijah H452 .
12 And Jehoshaphat H3092 said H559 W-VQY3MS , The word H1697 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS is H3426 PART with H854 him . So the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 and Jehoshaphat H3092 and the king H4428 NMS of Edom H123 went down H3381 to H413 PREP-3MS him .
13 And Elisha H477 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 , What H4100 IPRO have I to do with thee ? get H1980 VQI2MS thee to H413 PREP the prophets H5030 of thy father H1 NMS , and to H413 PREP the prophets H5030 of thy mother H517 . And the king H4428 NMS of Israel H3478 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Nay H408 NPAR : for H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS hath called H7121 VQQ3MS these H428 D-DPRO-3MP three H7969 L-BMS kings H4428 NMS together , to deliver H5414 L-VQFC them into the hand H3027 B-CFS of Moab H4124 .
14 And Elisha H477 said H559 W-VQY3MS , As the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 liveth H2416 AMS , before H6440 CMP whom H834 RPRO I stand H5975 VQQ1MS , surely H3588 CONJ , were it not H3884 that I H589 PPRO-1MS regard H5375 the presence H6440 CMP of Jehoshaphat H3092 the king H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 , I would not look H5027 toward H413 PREP-2MS thee , nor H518 PART see H7200 thee .
15 But now H6258 W-ADV bring H3947 me a minstrel H5059 . And it came to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , when the minstrel H5059 played H5059 , that the hand H3027 CFS of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS came H1961 W-VQQ3MS upon H5921 PREP-3MS him .
16 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Thus H3541 saith H559 W-VQY3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , Make H6213 this H2088 D-PMS valley H5158 full of ditches H1356 .
17 For H3588 CONJ thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , Ye shall not H3808 ADV see H7200 wind H7307 NFS , neither H3808 ADV shall ye see H7200 rain H1653 ; yet that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS valley H5158 shall be filled H4390 with water H4325 NMD , that ye may drink H8354 , both ye H859 PPRO-2MS , and your cattle H4735 , and your beasts H929 .
18 And this H2063 DPRO is but a light thing H7043 in the sight H5869 B-CMP of the LORD H3068 EDS : he will deliver H5414 W-VQQ3MS the Moabites H4124 also into your hand H3027 .
19 And ye shall smite H5221 every H3605 NMS fenced H4013 city H5892 GFS , and every H3605 NMS choice H4004 city H5892 GFS , and shall fell H5307 VHY2MP every H3605 NMS good H2896 AMS tree H6086 NMS , and stop H5640 all H3605 NMS wells H4599 of water H4325 OMD , and mar H3510 every H3605 NMS good H2896 AMS piece of land H2513 with stones H68 .
20 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS in the morning H1242 , when the meat offering H4503 was offered H5927 K-VQFC , that , behold H2009 IJEC , there came H935 water H4325 OMD by the way H1870 of Edom H123 , and the country H776 D-GFS was filled H4390 W-VNY3FS with H854 PREP water H4325 OMD .
21 And when all H3605 W-CMS the Moabites H4124 heard H8085 VQQ3MP that H3588 CONJ the kings H4428 were come up H5927 to fight H3898 against them , they gathered all H6817 that were able to put on H2296 armor H2290 , and upward H4605 , and stood H5975 in H5921 PREP the border H1366 .
22 And they rose up early H7925 in the morning H1242 , and the sun H8121 shone H2224 upon H5921 PREP the water H4325 D-OMD , and the Moabites H4124 saw H7200 W-VQY3MP the water H4325 D-OMD on the other side H5048 M-PREP as red H122 as blood H1818 :
23 And they said H559 , This H2088 DPRO is blood H1818 NMS : the kings H4428 are surely slain H2717 , and they have smitten H5221 W-VHY3MP one H376 NMS another H7453 NMS-3MS : now H6258 W-ADV therefore , Moab H4124 , to the spoil H7998 .
24 And when they came H935 W-VQY3MP to H413 PREP the camp H4264 of Israel H3478 , the Israelites H3478 rose up H6965 and smote H5221 W-VHY3MP the Moabites H4124 , so that they fled H5127 W-VQY3MP before H6440 M-CMP-3MP them : but they went H5221 forward smiting H5221 W-VHY3MP the Moabites H4124 , even in their country .
25 And they beat down H2040 the cities H5892 , and on every H3605 W-CMS good H2896 NFS piece H2513 of land cast H7993 every man H376 NMS his stone H68 , and filled H4390 it ; and they stopped H5640 all H3605 W-CMS the wells H4599 of water H4325 OMD , and felled H5307 all H3605 W-CMS the good H2896 NFS trees H6086 NMS : only H5704 PREP in Kir H7025 - haraseth left H7604 they the stones H68 CFP-3FS thereof ; howbeit the slingers H7051 went about H5437 it , and smote H5221 it .
26 And when the king H4428 NMS of Moab H4124 saw H7200 W-VIY3MS that H3588 CONJ the battle H4421 was too sore H2388 for H4480 M-PREP-3MS him , he took H3947 W-VQY3MS with H854 him seven H7651 hundred H3967 BFP men H376 NMS that drew H8025 swords H2719 GFS , to break through H1234 even unto H413 PREP the king H4428 NMS of Edom H123 : but they could H3201 not H3808 W-NPAR .
27 Then he took H3947 W-VQY3MS his eldest H1060 son H1121 CMS-3MS that H834 RPRO should have reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 PREP-3MS , and offered H5927 him for a burnt offering H5930 upon H5921 PREP the wall H2346 . And there was H1961 W-VQY3MS great H1419 AMS indignation H7110 against H5921 PREP Israel H3478 : and they departed H5265 from PREP him , and returned H7725 W-VUY3MP to their own land H776 .
