10 "What!" exclaimed the king of Israel. "Has the Lord called us three kings together only to deliver us into the hands of Moab?"
10 And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the Lord hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
10 Then the king of Israel said, "Alas! The Lord has called these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab."
10 The king of Israel said, "Bad news! God has gotten us three kings out here to dump us into the hand of Moab."
10 And the king of Israel said, "Alas! For the Lord has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab."
10 "What should we do?" the king of Israel cried out. "The Lord has brought the three of us here to let the king of Moab defeat us."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Kings 3:10
Commentary on 2 Kings 3:6-19
(Read 2 Kings 3:6-19)
The king of Israel laments their distress, and the danger they were in. He called these kings together, yet he charges it upon Providence. Thus the foolishness of man perverteth his way, and then his heart fretteth against the Lord, Psalm 84:6. We need not inquire whence the water came. God is not tied to second causes. They that sincerely seek for the dew of God's grace, shall have it, and by it be made more than conquerors.
