2 Kings 3:25-27

251So they destroyed the cities; and each one threw a stone on every plot of good land and filled it. So they stopped up every spring of water and 2cut down every good tree, until in 3Kir-hareseth only they left its stones; however, the rock slingers surrounded it and struck it.

26When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom; but they could not.

27Then the king of Moab took his oldest son who was to reign in his place, and 4offered him as a burnt offering on the wall. And great anger came upon Israel, and they departed from him and returned to their own land.
