3:9

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}

3:10

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>_!

3:11

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>_.

3:12

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.

3:13

And Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

What have I to do with thee? get
<03212> (8798)

thee to the prophets
<05030>

of thy father
<01>_,

and to the prophets
<05030>

of thy mother
<0517>_.

And the king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Nay: for 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>_.

3:14

And Elisha
<0477>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

liveth
<02416>_,

before
<06440>

whom I stand
<05975> (8804)_,

surely, were it not that
<03884>

I regard
<05375> (8802)

the presence
<06440>

of Jehoshaphat
<03092>

the king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

I would not look
<05027> (8686)

toward thee, nor see
<07200> (8799)

thee.

3:15

But now bring
<03947> (8798)

me a minstrel
<05059> (8764)_.

And it came to pass, when the minstrel
<05059> (8764)

played
<05059> (8763)_,

that the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

came upon him.

3:16

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Make
<06213> (8800)

this valley
<05158>

full of ditches
<01356>_.

3:17

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Ye shall not see
<07200> (8799)

wind
<07307>_,

neither shall ye see
<07200> (8799)

rain
<01653>_;

yet that valley
<05158>

shall be filled
<04390> (8735)

with water
<04325>_,

that ye may drink
<08354> (8804)_,

both ye, and your cattle
<04735>_,

and your beasts
<0929>_.

3:18

And this is [but] a light thing
<07043> (8738)

in the sight
<05869>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

he will deliver
<05414> (8804)

the Moabites
<04124>

also into your hand
<03027>_.

3:19

And ye shall smite
<05221> (8689)

every fenced
<04013>

city
<05892>_,

and every choice
<04004>

city
<05892>_,

and shall fell
<05307> (8686)

every good
<02896>

tree
<06086>_,

and stop
<05640> (8799)

all wells
<04599>

of water
<04325>_,

and mar
<03510> (8686)

every good
<02896>

piece
<02513>

of land with stones
<068>_.

{mar: Heb. grieve}

3:20

And it came to pass in the morning
<01242>_,

when the meat offering
<04503>

was offered
<05927> (8800)_,

that, behold, there came
<0935> (8802)

water
<04325>

by the way
<01870>

of Edom
<0123>_,

and the country
<0776>

was filled
<04390> (8735)

with water
<04325>_.
