2 Kings 3:1-12

Now Jehoram
<03088>

the son
<01121>

of Ahab
<0256>

began to reign
<04427> (8804)

over Israel
<03478>

in Samaria
<08111>

the eighteenth
<08083> <06240>

year
<08141>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and reigned
<04427> (8799)

twelve
<08147> <06240>

years
<08141>_.

And he wrought
<06213> (8799)

evil
<07451>

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

but not like his father
<01>_,

and like his mother
<0517>_:

for he put away
<05493> (8686)

the image
<04676>

of Baal
<01168>

that his father
<01>

had made
<06213> (8804)_.

{image: Heb. statue}

Nevertheless he cleaved
<01692> (8804)

unto the sins
<02403>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Nebat
<05028>_,

which made Israel
<03478>

to sin
<02398> (8689)_;

he departed
<05493> (8804)

not therefrom.

And Mesha
<04338>

king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>

was a sheepmaster
<05349>_,

and rendered
<07725> (8689)

unto the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

an hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

lambs
<03733>_,

and an hundred
<03967>

thousand
<0505>

rams
<0352>_,

with the wool
<06785>_.

But it came to pass, when Ahab
<0256>

was dead
<04194>_,

that the king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>

rebelled
<06586> (8799)

against the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_.

And king
<04428>

Jehoram
<03088>

went out
<03318> (8799)

of Samaria
<08111>

the same time
<03117>_,

and numbered
<06485> (8799)

all Israel
<03478>_.

And he went
<03212> (8799)

and sent
<07971> (8799)

to Jehoshaphat
<03092>

the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>

hath rebelled
<06586> (8804)

against me: wilt thou go
<03212> (8799)

with me against Moab
<04124>

to battle
<04421>_?

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

I will go up
<05927> (8799)_:

I [am] as thou [art], my people
<05971>

as thy people
<05971>_,

[and] my horses
<05483>

as thy horses
<05483>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Which way
<01870>

shall we go up
<05927> (8799)_?

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

The way
<01870>

through the wilderness
<04057>

of Edom
<0123>_.

So the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

went
<03212> (8799)_,

and the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and the king
<04428>

of Edom
<0123>_:

and they fetched a compass
<05437> (8799)

of seven
<07651>

days
<03117>_'

journey
<01870>_:

and there was no water
<04325>

for the host
<04264>_,

and for the cattle
<0929>

that followed
<07272>

them. {that...: Heb. at their feet}

And the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Alas
<0162>_!

that the LORD
<03068>

hath called
<07121> (0)

these three
<07969>

kings
<04428>

together
<07121> (8804)_,

to deliver
<05414> (8800)

them into the hand
<03027>

of Moab
<04124>_!

But Jehoshaphat
<03092>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Is there] not here a prophet
<05030>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that we may enquire
<01875> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>

by him? And one
<0259>

of the king
<04428>

of Israel's
<03478>

servants
<05650>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Here [is] Elisha
<0477>

the son
<01121>

of Shaphat
<08202>_,

which poured
<03332> (8804)

water
<04325>

on the hands
<03027>

of Elijah
<0452>_.

And Jehoshaphat
<03092>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

The word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

is
<03426>

with him. So the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

and Jehoshaphat
<03092>

and the king
<04428>

of Edom
<0123>

went down
<03381> (8799)

to him.
