Revised Version 1895
2 Kings 3:11-19
11But JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, Is there notH369 hereH6311 a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068, that weH834 may inquireH1875 of the LORDH3068 by him? And one of the kingH4428 of Israel’sH3478 servantsH5650 answeredH559 and saidH559, ElishaH477 the sonH1121 of ShaphatH8202 is hereH6311, whichH834 pouredH3332 waterH4325 on the handsH3027 of ElijahH452.
12And JehoshaphatH3092 saidH559, The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 is with him. SoH3381 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 and JehoshaphatH3092 and the kingH4428 of EdomH123 wentH3381 downH3381 to him.
13And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, WhatH4100 have I to doH408 with thee? get thee to the prophetsH5030 of thy fatherH1, and to the prophetsH5030 of thy motherH517. And the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 saidH559 unto him, Nay: for the LORDH3068 hath calledH7121 theseH428 threeH7969 kingsH4428 together to deliverH5414 them intoH413 the handH3027 of MoabH4124.
14And ElishaH477 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 liveth, beforeH6440 whomH834 I standH5975, surelyH3588, were it notH518 that I regardH7200 the presenceH6440 of JehoshaphatH3092 the kingH4428 of JudahH3063, I would notH518 lookH7200 towardH413 thee, norH518 seeH7200 thee.
15But nowH6258 bringH3947 meH5921 a minstrelH5059. And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when the minstrelH5059 playedH5059, that the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 uponH5921 him.
16And he saidH559, ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, MakeH6213 this valleyH5158 full of trenches.
17For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, Ye shall notH3808 seeH7200 windH7307, neitherH3808 shall ye seeH7200 rainH1653, yet that valleyH5158 shall be filledH4390 with waterH4325: and ye shall drinkH8354, both ye and your cattleH929 and your beastsH929.
18And this is but a lightH7043 thingH7043 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he will also deliverH5414 the MoabitesH4124 intoH3027 your handH3027.
19And ye shall smiteH5221 everyH3605 fenced cityH5892, and everyH3605 choiceH4004 cityH5892, and shall fellH5307 everyH3605 goodH2896 treeH6086, and stopH5640 allH3605 fountainsH4599 of waterH4325, and marH3510 everyH3605 goodH2896 piece of landH2513 with stonesH68.
