3:1 And
Jehoram
son
of
Ahab
hath
reigned
over
Israel,
in
Samaria,
in
the
eighteenth
year
of
Jehoshaphat
king
of
Judah,
and
he
reigneth
twelve
years,
3:2 and
doth
the
evil
thing
in
the
eyes
of
Jehovah,
only
not
like
his
father,
and
like
his
mother,
and
he
turneth
aside
the
standing-pillar
of
Baal
that
his
father
made;
3:3 only
to
the
sins
of
Jeroboam
son
of
Nebat
that
he
caused
Israel
to
sin
he
hath
cleaved,
he
hath
not
turned
aside
from
it.
3:4 And
Mesha
king
of
Moab
was
a
sheep-master,
and
he
rendered
to
the
king
of
Israel
a
hundred
thousand
lambs,
and
a
hundred
thousand
rams,
[with]
wool,
3:5 and
it
cometh
to
pass
at
the
death
of
Ahab,
that
the
king
of
Moab
transgresseth
against
the
king
of
Israel.
3:6 And
king
Jehoram
goeth
out
in
that
day
from
Samaria,
and
inspecteth
all
Israel,
3:7 and
goeth
and
sendeth
unto
Jehoshaphat
king
of
Judah,
saying,
`The
king
of
Moab
hath
transgressed
against
me;
dost
thou
go
with
me
unto
Moab
for
battle'
and
he
saith,
`I
go
up,
as
I,
so
thou;
as
my
people,
so
thy
people;
as
my
horses,
so
thy
horses.
3:8 And
he
saith,
`Where
[is]
this--the
way
we
go
up'
and
he
saith,
`The
way
of
the
wilderness
of
Edom.'
3:9 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,
3:10 and
the
king
of
Israel
saith,
`Alas,
for
Jehovah
hath
called
for
these
three
kings,
to
give
them
into
the
hand
of
Moab.'
3:11 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.'
3:12 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.
3:13 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.'
3:14 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;
3:15 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,
3:16 and
he
saith,
`Thus
said
Jehovah,
Make
this
valley
ditches--ditches;
3:17 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.
3:18 `And
this
hath
been
light
in
the
eyes
of
Jehovah,
and
he
hath
given
Moab
into
your
hand,
3:19 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.'
3:20 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,
3:21 and
all
Moab
have
heard
that
the
kings
have
come
up
to
fight
against
them,
and
they
are
called
together,
from
every
one
girding
on
a
girdle
and
upward,
and
they
stand
by
the
border.
3:22 And
they
rise
early
in
the
morning,
and
the
sun
hath
shone
on
the
waters,
and
the
Moabites
see,
from
over-against,
the
waters
red
as
blood,
3:23 and
say,
`Blood
this
[is]
;
the
kings
have
been
surely
destroyed,
and
they
smite
each
his
neighbour;
and
now
for
spoil,
Moab!'
3:24 And
they
come
in
unto
the
camp
of
Israel,
and
the
Israelites
rise,
and
smite
the
Moabites,
and
they
flee
from
their
face;
and
they
enter
into
Moab,
so
as
to
smite
Moab,
3:25 and
the
cities
they
break
down,
and
[on]
every
good
portion
they
cast
each
his
stone,
and
have
filled
it,
and
every
fountain
of
water
they
stop,
and
every
good
tree
they
cause
to
fall--till
one
had
left
its
stones
in
Kir-Haraseth,
and
the
slingers
go
round
and
smite
it.
3:26 And
the
king
of
Moab
seeth
that
the
battle
has
been
too
strong
for
him,
and
he
taketh
with
him
seven
hundred
men,
drawing
sword,
to
cleave
through
unto
the
king
of
Edom,
and
they
have
not
been
able,
3:27 and
he
taketh
his
son,
the
first-born
who
reigneth
in
his
stead,
and
causeth
him
to
ascend--a
burnt-offering
on
the
wall,
and
there
is
great
wrath
against
Israel,
and
they
journey
from
off
him,
and
turn
back
to
the
land.
