2 Kings 3:6-19

⁶ At that time, King Jehoram went out from Samaria and got all Israel together in fighting order. ⁷ And he sent to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has got free from my authority: will you go with me to make war on Moab? And he said, I will go with you: I am as you are, my people as your people, and my horses as your horses. ⁸ And he said, Which way are we to go? And he said in answer, By the waste land of Edom. ⁹ So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom by a roundabout way for seven days: and there was no water for the army or for the beasts they had with them. ¹⁰ And the king of Israel said, Here is trouble: for the Lord has got these three kings together to give them into the hands of Moab. ¹¹ But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no prophet of the Lord here, through whom we may get directions from the Lord? And one of the king of Israel's men said in answer, Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here, who was servant to 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 But Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? go to the prophets of your father and your mother. And the king of Israel said, No; for the Lord has got these three kings together to give them up into the hands of Moab. ¹⁴ Then Elisha said, By the life of the Lord of armies whose servant I am, if it was not for the respect I have for Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, I would not give a look at you, or see you. ¹⁵ But now, get me a player of music, and it will come about that while the man is playing, the hand of the Lord will come on me and I will give you the word of the Lord: and they got a player of music, and while the man was playing, the hand of the Lord was on him. ¹⁶ And he said, The Lord says, I will make this valley full of water-holes. ¹⁷ For the Lord says, Though you see no wind or rain, the valley will be full of water, and you and your armies and your beasts will have drink. ¹⁸ And this will be only a small thing to the Lord: in addition he will give the Moabites into your hands. ¹⁹ And you are to put every walled town to destruction, cutting down every good tree, and stopping up every water-spring, and making all the good land rough with stones.
