2 Kings 3:1 (NIV) New International Version

1 Joram son of Ahab became king of Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned for twelve years.
2 He did evil in the eyes of the LORD, but not as his father and mother had done. He got rid of the sacred stone of Baal that his father had made.
3 Nevertheless he clung to the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.
4 Now Mesha king of Moab raised sheep, and he had to supply the king of Israel with a hundred thousand lambs and with the wool of a hundred thousand rams.
5 But after Ahab died, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 So at that time King Joram set out from Samaria and mobilised all Israel.
7 He also sent this message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah: "The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?" "I will go with you," he replied. "I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."
8 "By what route shall we attack?" he asked. "Through the Desert of Edom," he answered.
9 So the king of Israel set out with the king of Judah and the king of Edom. After a roundabout march of seven days, the army had no more water for themselves or for the animals with them.
10 "What!" exclaimed the king of Israel. "Has the LORD called us three kings together only to hand us over to Moab?"
11 But Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there no prophet of the LORD here, that we may enquire of the LORD through him?" An officer of the king of Israel answered, "Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah."
12 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 Elisha said to the king of Israel, "What do we have to do with each other? Go to the prophets of your father and the prophets of your mother." "No," the king of Israel answered, "because it was the LORD who called us three kings together to hand us over to Moab."
14 Elisha said, "As surely as the LORD Almighty lives, whom I serve, if I did not have respect for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you or even notice you.
15 But now bring me a harpist." While the harpist was playing, the hand of the LORD came upon Elisha
16 and he said, "This is what the LORD says: Make this valley full of ditches.
17 For this is what the LORD says: You will see neither wind nor rain, yet this valley will be filled with water, and you, your cattle and your other animals will drink.
18 This is an easy thing in the eyes of the LORD; he will also hand Moab over to you.
19 You will overthrow every fortified city and every major town. You will cut down every good tree, stop up all the springs, and ruin every good field with stones."
20 The next morning, about the time for offering the sacrifice, there it was--water flowing from the direction of Edom! And the land was filled with water.
21 Now all the Moabites had heard that the kings had come to fight against them; so every man, young and old, who could bear arms was called up and stationed on the border.
22 When they got up early in the morning, the sun was shining on the water. To the Moabites across the way, the water looked red--like blood.
23 "That's blood!" they said. "Those kings must have fought and slaughtered each other. Now to the plunder, Moab!"
24 But when the Moabites came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and fought them until they fled. And the Israelites invaded the land and slaughtered the Moabites.
25 They destroyed the towns, and each man threw a stone on every good field until it was covered. They stopped up all the springs and cut down every good tree. Only Kir Hareseth was left with its stones in place, but men armed with slings surrounded it and attacked it as well.
26 When the king of Moab saw that the battle had gone against him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they failed.
27 Then he took his firstborn son, who was to succeed him as king, and offered him as a sacrifice on the city wall. The fury against Israel was great; they withdrew and returned to their own land.
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 .
