[1]Now JehoramH3088 the sonH1121 of AhabH256 began to reignH4427[H8804] over IsraelH3478 in SamariaH8111 the eighteenthH8083[H6240] yearH8141 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and reignedH4427[H8799] twelveH8147[H6240] yearsH8141. [No book]
[2]And he wroughtH6213[H8799] evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068; but not like his fatherH1, and like his motherH517: for he put awayH5493[H8686] the imageH4676 of BaalH1168 that his fatherH1 had madeH6213.[H8804] [No book]
[3]Nevertheless he cleavedH1692[H8804] unto the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, which made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398[H8689]; he departedH5493 not therefromH8804. [No book]
[4]And MeshaH4338 kingH4428 of MoabH4124 was a sheepmasterH5349, and renderedH7725[H8689] unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 an hundredH3967 thousandH505 lambsH3733, and an hundredH3967 thousandH505 ramsH352, with the woolH6785. [No book]
[5]But it came to pass, when AhabH256 was deadH4194, that the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 rebelledH6586[H8799] against the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478. [No book]
[6]And kingH4428 JehoramH3088 went outH3318[H8799] of SamariaH8111 the same timeH3117, and numberedH6485[H8799] all IsraelH3478. [No book]
[7]And he wentH3212[H8799] and sentH7971[H8799] to JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, sayingH559[H8800], The kingH4428 of MoabH4124 hath rebelledH6586[H8804] against me: wilt thou goH3212[H8799] with me against MoabH4124 to battleH4421? And he saidH559[H8799], I will go upH5927[H8799]: I am as thou art, my peopleH5971 as thy peopleH5971, and my horsesH5483 as thy horsesH5483. [No book]
[8]And he saidH559[H8799], Which wayH1870 shall we go upH5927[H8799]? And he answeredH559[H8799], The wayH1870 through the wildernessH4057 of EdomH123. [No book]
[9]So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wentH3212[H8799], and the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and the kingH4428 of EdomH123: and they fetched a compassH5437[H8799] of sevenH7651 days'H3117 journeyH1870: and there was no waterH4325 for the hostH4264, and for the cattleH929 that followed themH7272. [No book]
[10]And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559[H8799], AlasH162! that the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 these threeH7969 kingsH4428 togetherH7121[H8804], to deliverH5414[H8800] them into the handH3027 of MoabH4124! [No book]
[11]But JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559[H8799], Is there not here a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068, that we may enquireH1875[H8799] of the LORDH3068 by him? And oneH259 of the kingH4428 of Israel'sH3478 servantsH5650 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], Here is ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202, which pouredH3332[H8804] waterH4325 on the handsH3027 of ElijahH452. [No book]
[12]And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559[H8799], The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 isH3426 with him. So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 and the kingH4428 of EdomH123 went downH3381 to himH8799. [No book]
[13]And ElishaH477 saidH559[H8799] unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, What have I to do with thee? getH3212[H8798] thee to the prophetsH5030 of thy fatherH1, and to the prophetsH5030 of thy motherH517. And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Nay: for the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 these threeH7969 kingsH4428 togetherH7121[H8804], to deliverH5414[H8800] them into the handH3027 of MoabH4124. [No book]
[14]And ElishaH477 saidH559[H8799], As the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975[H8804], surely, were it not thatH3884 I regardH5375[H8802] the presenceH6440 of JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, I would not lookH5027[H8686] toward thee, nor seeH7200 theeH8799. [No book]
[15]But now bringH3947[H8798] me a minstrelH5059[H8764]. And it came to pass, when the minstrelH5059[H8764] playedH5059[H8763], that the handH3027 of the LORD came upon himH3068. [No book]
[16]And he saidH559[H8799], Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, MakeH6213[H8800] this valleyH5158 full of ditchesH1356. [No book]
[17]For thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, Ye shall not seeH7200[H8799] windH7307, neither shall ye seeH7200[H8799] rainH1653; yet that valleyH5158 shall be filledH4390[H8735] with waterH4325, that ye may drinkH8354[H8804], both ye, and your cattleH4735, and your beastsH929. [No book]
[18]And this is but a light thingH7043[H8738] in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he will deliverH5414[H8804] the MoabitesH4124 also into your handH3027. [No book]
[19]And ye shall smiteH5221[H8689] every fencedH4013 cityH5892, and every choiceH4004 cityH5892, and shall fellH5307[H8686] every goodH2896 treeH6086, and stopH5640[H8799] all wellsH4599 of waterH4325, and marH3510[H8686] every goodH2896 pieceH2513 of land with stonesH68. [No book]
[20]And it came to pass in the morningH1242, when the meat offeringH4503 was offeredH5927[H8800], that, behold, there cameH935[H8802] waterH4325 by the wayH1870 of EdomH123, and the countryH776 was filledH4390[H8735] with waterH4325. [No book]
[21]And when all the MoabitesH4124 heardH8085[H8804] that the kingsH4428 were come upH5927[H8804] to fightH3898[H8736] against them, they gatheredH6817[H8735] all that were able to putH2296[H8802] on armourH2290, and upwardH4605, and stoodH5975[H8799] in the borderH1366. [No book]
[22]And they rose up earlyH7925[H8686] in the morningH1242, and the sunH8121 shoneH2224[H8804] upon the waterH4325, and the MoabitesH4124 sawH7200[H8799] the waterH4325 on the other sideH5048 as redH122 as bloodH1818: [No book]
[23]And they saidH559[H8799], This is bloodH1818: the kingsH4428 are surelyH2717[H8715] slainH2717[H8738], and they have smittenH5221[H8686] oneH376 anotherH7453: now therefore, MoabH4124, to the spoilH7998. [No book]
[24]And when they cameH935[H8799] to the campH4264 of IsraelH3478, the IsraelitesH3478 rose upH6965[H8799] and smoteH5221[H8686] the MoabitesH4124, so that they fledH5127[H8799] beforeH6440 them: but they went forwardH5221[H8686] smitingH5221[H8687] the Moabites, even in their countryH4124. [No book]
[25]And they beat downH2040[H8799] the citiesH5892, and on every goodH2896 pieceH2513 of land castH7993[H8686] every manH376 his stoneH68, and filledH4390[H8765] it; and they stoppedH5640[H8799] all the wellsH4599 of waterH4325, and felledH5307[H8686] all the goodH2896 treesH6086: only in KirharasethH7025 leftH7604[H8689] they the stonesH68 thereof; howbeit the slingersH7051 went aboutH5437[H8799] it, and smoteH5221 itH8686. [No book]
[26]And when the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 sawH7200[H8799] that the battleH4421 was too soreH2388[H8804] for him, he tookH3947[H8799] with him sevenH7651 hundredH3967 menH376 that drewH8025[H8802] swordsH2719, to break throughH1234[H8687] even unto the kingH4428 of EdomH123: but they couldH3201 notH8804. [No book]
[27]Then he tookH3947[H8799] his eldestH1060 sonH1121 that should have reignedH4427[H8799] in his stead, and offeredH5927[H8686] him for a burnt offeringH5930 upon the wallH2346. And there was greatH1419 indignationH7110 against IsraelH3478: and they departedH5265[H8799] from him, and returnedH7725[H8799] to their own landH776. [No book]
