2 Kings 3:11-14

11But JehoshaphatH3092 askedH559, “Is there noH369 prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068 hereH6311? Let us inquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 through himH853.”

And oneH259 of the servantsH5650 of the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478H559 answeredH6030, “ElishaH477 sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202 is hereH6311. He used to pourH3332 waterH4325 onH5921 the handsH3027 of ElijahH452.1”

12JehoshaphatH3092 affirmedH559, “The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 isH3426 with himH853.” So the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 and the kingH4428 of EdomH123 went downH3381 to himH413.

13Elisha, howeverH477, saidH559 toH413 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, “What have we to doH4100 with each other? GoH1980 toH413 the prophetsH5030 of your fatherH1 andH413H5030 of your motherH517!”

“NoH408,” repliedH559 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, “forH3588 it is the LORDH3068 who has summonedH7121 theseH428 threeH7969 kingsH4428 to deliverH5414 themH853 into the handH3027 of MoabH4124.”

14Then ElishaH477 saidH559, “As surely as the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 livesH2416, beforeH6440 whomH834 I standH5975, were it notH3884 for my regardH589H5375 for the presenceH6440 of JehoshaphatH3092 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, I would notH518 lookH5027 at youH413 orH518 acknowledge youH7200.
