2 Kings 3:25-27
25And they beat downH2040 the citiesH5892, and on every goodH2896 pieceH2513 of land castH7993 every manH376 his stoneH68, and filledH4390 it; and they stoppedH5640 all the wellsH4599 of waterH4325, and felledH5307 all the goodH2896 treesH6086: only in Kir–harasethH7025 leftH7604 they the stonesH68 thereof; howbeit the slingersH7051 went aboutH5437 it, and smoteH5221 it.1
26And when the kingH4428 of MoabH4124 sawH7200 that the battleH4421 was too soreH2388 for him, he tookH3947 with him sevenH7651 hundredH3967 menH376 that drewH8025 swordsH2719, to break throughH1234 even unto the kingH4428 of EdomH123: but they couldH3201 not. 27Then he tookH3947 his eldestH1060 sonH1121 that should have reignedH4427 in his stead, and offeredH5927 him for a burnt offeringH5930 upon the wallH2346. And there was greatH1419 indignationH7110 against IsraelH3478: and they departedH5265 from him, and returnedH7725 to their own landH776.
