2 Kings 3:9-19

9So 1the king of Israel went with 2the king of Judah and 3the king of Edom, and they made a circuit of seven days’ journey. But there was no water for the army or for the cattle that 4followed them. 10Then the king of Israel said, “It is hopeless! For the Lord has called these three kings to hand them over to Moab!” 11But Jehoshaphat said, “5Is there no prophet of the Lord here, that we may inquire of the Lord by him?” And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, “6Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, 7who used to pour water on the hands of Elijah.” 12And Jehoshaphat said, “The word of the Lord is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

13Now Elisha said to the king of Israel, “8What business do you have with me? 9Go to your father’s prophets and your mother’s prophets.” But the king of Israel said to him, “No, for the Lord has called these three kings together to hand them over to Moab.” 14Elisha said, “10As surely as the Lord of armies lives, before whom I stand, if I did not respect Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look at you nor see you. 15But now 11bring me a 12musician.” And it came about, when the 13musician played, that 14the hand of the Lord came upon him. 16And he said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Make this valley 15full of trenches.’ 17For the Lord says this: ‘You will not see wind, nor will you see rain; yet that valley 16shall be filled with water, so that you will drink, you, your livestock, and your other animals. 18And this is an 17insignificant thing in the sight of the Lord; He will also give the Moabites into your hand. 1918Then you shall strike every fortified city and every choice city, and 19cut down every good tree and stop up all the springs of water, and spoil every good plot of land with stones.’”
