2 Kings 3:9

3:9 So the kings of Israel, Judah, and Edom ¹  set out together. They wandered around on the road for seven days and finally ran out of water for the men and animals they had with them.

2 Kings 3:25

3:25 They tore down the cities and each man threw a stone into every cultivated field until they were covered. ²  They stopped up every spring and chopped down every productive tree.

Only Kir Hareseth was left intact, ³  but the slingers surrounded it and attacked it.

[3:9]  ¹ tn Heb “the king of Israel and the king of Judah and the king of Edom.”

[3:25]  ² tn Heb “and [on] every good portion they were throwing each man his stone and they filled it.” The vav + perfect (“and they filled”) here indicates customary action contemporary with the situation described in the preceding main clause (where a customary imperfect is used, “they were throwing”). See the note at 3:4.

[3:25]  ³ tn Heb “until he had allowed its stones to remain in Kir Hareseth.”
