2 Kings 3:19-25

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. 20And it cameH935 to pass in the morningH1242, about the time of offeringH4503 the oblation, that, behold, there cameH935 waterH4325 by the wayH1870 of EdomH123, and the country wasH1961 filledH4390 with waterH4325.

21Now when all the Moabites heardH8085 that the kingsH4428 were comeH5927 up to fightH3898 against them, they gathered themselves together, all that were able to put on armor, and upwardH4605, and stoodH5975 on the borderH1366. 22And they roseH7925 up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and the sunH8121 shone upon the waterH4325, and the Moabites sawH7200 the waterH4325 over against them as redH122 as bloodH1818: 23and they saidH559, This is bloodH1818; the kingsH4428 are surely destroyed, and they have smitten each manH376 his fellow: nowH6258 thereforeH6258, MoabH4124, to the spoilH7998. 24And when they cameH935 to the campH4264 of IsraelH3478, the Israelites roseH6965 up and smote the Moabites, so that they fledH5127 before them; and they wentH935 forward into the land smiting the Moabites. 25And they beat down the citiesH5892; and on every goodH2896 piece of landH2513 they castH7993 every manH376 his stoneH68, and filledH4390 it; and they stoppedH5640 all the fountains of waterH4325, and felledH5307 all the goodH2896 treesH6086, until in Kir-haresethH7025 only they leftH7604 the stonesH68 thereof; howbeit the slingers wentH5437 about it, and smote it.
