3 And Jehoram the son of Ahab became king over Israel in Samaria in the 18th year of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah. And he was king 12 years. 2 But he did that which was evil in the eyes of Yahweh—however, not as his father or as his mother. And he removed the pillar of Baal that his father made. 3 However, he clung to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who caused Israel to sin. He did not turn aside from it.
4 And Mesha the king of Moab was a sheep breeder. And he would return to the king of Israel 100,000 young rams and 100,000 rams with wool. 5 And it happened, after the death of Ahab, and the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel. 6 And King Jehoram went out from Samaria on that day. And he inspected all Israel. 7 And he went, and he sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to Moab, to the war?” And he said, “I will go up. As me, so you. As my people, so your people. As my horses, so your horses.” 8 And he said, “Where is this, the way we will go up?” And he said, “The way of the wilderness of Edom.” 9 And the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and they circled around the way seven days. But water was not for the army or for the cattle which were on their feet. 10 And the king of Israel said, “Oh! Surely Yahweh called for these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.” 11 And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh, that we might seek Yahweh by him?” And one person from the servants of the king of Israel answered, and he said, “Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat who poured water onto the hands of Elijah.” 12 And Jehoshaphat said, “There is with him the word of Yahweh.” And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13 And Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What belongs to me and to you? Go to the prophets of your father and to the prophets of your mother.” And the king of Israel said to him, “No, for Yahweh has called for these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.” 14 And Elisha said, “By the life of Yahweh of hosts, whom I stand to his face, that unless I am lifting the face of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look to you, nor would I see you. 15 But now, bring to me a person who plays stringed instruments.” And it was, when the person who played stringed instruments played, and the hand of Yahweh was on him. 16 And he said, “Thus says Yahweh: ‘Making this valley cisterns, cisterns.’ 17 For thus says Yahweh: ‘You will not see wind, and you will not see rain, but this valley will be filled with water. And you will drink—you and your cattle and your animals.’ 18 And this is light in the eyes of Yahweh, and he gives Moab into your hand. 19 And you will strike every fortified city and every choice city, and every good tree you will fell, and all the springs of water you will stop up, and every good portion you will ruin with stones.” 20 And it happened, in the morning when the offering went up, and look—waters were coming from the way of Edom, and the land was filled with the waters.
21 And all Moab heard that the kings had gone up to fight against them. And they were called together from every person who tied a belt and upwards, and they stood beside the border. 22 And they got up early in the morning, and the sun rose over the waters. And Moab saw the waters from opposite—red like blood. 23 And they said, “This is blood! The kings have surely killed themselves, and they struck, each one, his companion. And now—to the spoil, Moab!” 24 And they came to the camp of Israel, and Israel got up, and they struck Moab, and they fled from their face. And they came into it, and striking Moab. 25 And the cities they tore down, and every good portion they threw, each person his stone, and they filled it. And every spring of water they stopped up, and every good tree they felled, until he made its stones remain in Kir-Hareseth. And the slingers went around, and they struck it. 26 And the king of Moab saw that the war was stronger than him. And he took with him 700 men who drew a sword to break through to the king of Edom, but they were not able. 27 And he took his son, the firstborn who would be king in his place, and he lifted him up as a burnt offering on the wall, and great wrath was against Israel. And they departed away from him, and they returned to the land.
