2 Kings 3:9-20

⁹ And the king of Israel goeth, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they turn round the way seven days, and there hath been no water for the camp, and for the cattle that 'are' at their feet, ¹⁰ and the king of Israel saith, 'Alas, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings, to give them into the hand of Moab.' ¹¹ And Jehoshaphat saith, 'Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah, and we seek Jehovah by him?' And one of the servants of the king of Israel answereth and saith, 'Here 'is' Elisha son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.' ¹² And Jehoshaphat saith, 'The word of Jehovah is with him;' and go down unto him do the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom. ¹³ And Elisha saith unto the king of Israel, 'What—to me and to thee? go unto the prophets of thy father, and unto the prophets of thy mother;' and the king of Israel saith to him, 'Nay, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.' ¹⁴ And Elisha saith, 'Jehovah of Hosts liveth, before whom I have stood; for unless the face of Jehoshaphat king of Judah I am lifting up, I do not look unto thee, nor see thee; ¹⁵ and now, bring to me a minstrel; and it hath been, at the playing of the minstrel, that the hand of Jehovah is on him, ¹⁶ and he saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, Make this valley ditches—ditches; ¹⁷ for thus said Jehovah, Ye do not see wind, nor do ye see rain, and that valley is full of water, and ye have drunk—ye, and your cattle, and your beasts. ¹⁸ 'And this hath been light in the eyes of Jehovah, and he hath given Moab into your hand, ¹⁹ and ye have smitten every fenced city, and every choice city, and every good tree ye cause to fall, and all fountains of waters ye stop, and every good portion ye mar with stones.'

²⁰ And it cometh to pass in the morning, at the ascending of the 'morning'-present, that lo, waters are coming in from the way of Edom, and the land is filled with the waters,
