2 Kings 3:19-25
19And you shall attackH5221 everyH3605 fortifiedH4013 cityH5892 and everyH3605 cityH5892 of importanceH4004. You shall cut downH5307 everyH3605 goodH2896 treeH6086, stop upH5640 everyH3605 springH4599H4325, and ruinH3510 everyH3605 goodH2896 fieldH2513 with stonesH68.”
20The next morningH1242H1961, at the time of the morning sacrificeH5927H4503, waterH4325 suddenlyH2009 flowedH935 from the directionH1870 of EdomH123 and filledH4390 the landH776.
21Now allH3605 the MoabitesH4124 had heardH8085 thatH3588 the kingsH4428 had come upH5927 to fightH3898 against them. So allH3605 who could bear armsH2296H2290, young and oldH4605, were summonedH6817 and stationedH5975 atH5921 the borderH1366. 22When they got up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, the sunH8121 was shiningH2224 onH5921 the waterH4325, andH4325 it lookedH7200 as redH122 as bloodH1818 to the MoabitesH4124 across the wayH5048.
23“ThisH2088H2717 is bloodH1818!” they exclaimedH559. “The kingsH4428 have clashed swordsH2717 and slaughteredH5221 oneH376 anotherH7453. NowH6258 to the plunderH7998, MoabH4124!”
24But when the Moabites cameH935 toH413 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478, the IsraelitesH3478 rose upH6965 and attackedH5221 themH4124, and they fledH5127 before themH6440. So the Israelites invadedH935 their land and struck downH5221 the MoabitesH4124. 25They destroyedH2040 the citiesH5892, and each manH376 threwH7993 stonesH68 on everyH3605 goodH2896 fieldH2513 until it was coveredH4390. They stopped upH5640 everyH3605 springH4599H4325 and cut downH5307 everyH3605 goodH2896 treeH6086. OnlyH5704 Kir-harasethH7025 was leftH7604 with stones in placeH68, but men with slingsH7051 surrounded itH5437 and attacked itH5221 as well.
