2 Kings 3:11-19
11But JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Is there not hereH6311 a prophetH5030 of Jehovah, that we may inquire of Jehovah by him? And oneH259 of the kingH4428 of Israel’s servantsH5650 answered and saidH559, ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202 is hereH6311, who pouredH3332 waterH4325 on the handsH3027 of ElijahH452. 12And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, The wordH1697 of Jehovah is with him. So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 and the kingH4428 of EdomH123 wentH3381 downH3381 to him.
13And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophetsH5030 of thy fatherH1, and to the prophetsH5030 of thy motherH517. And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto him, Nay; for Jehovah hath calledH7121 these threeH7969 kingsH4428 together to deliver them into the handH3027 of MoabH4124. 14And ElishaH477 saidH559, As Jehovah of hostsH6635 liveth, before whom I standH5975, surely, were it not that I regard the presenceH6440 of JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, I would not lookH7200 toward thee, nor seeH7200 thee. 15But nowH6258 bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel playedH5059, that the handH3027 of Jehovah came upon him. 16And he saidH559, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, MakeH6213 this valley full of trenches. 17For thusH3541 saith Jehovah, Ye shall not seeH7200 windH7307, neither shall ye seeH7200 rainH1653; yet that valley shall be filledH4390 with waterH4325, and ye shall drinkH8354, both ye and your cattleH929 and your beasts. 18And this is but a light thingH7043 in the sight of Jehovah: he will also deliver the Moabites into your handH3027. 19And ye shall smite every fortified cityH5892, and every choiceH4004 cityH5892, and shall fellH5307 every goodH2896 treeH6086, and stopH5640 all fountains of waterH4325, and mar every goodH2896 piece of landH2513 with stonesH68.
