And the king of Israel said to him, No, for the L<font size="1">ORD</font> has called these three kings <i>together</i> to give them into the hand of Moab. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/3-14.htm" target="_top"><b>14</b></a></span>Elisha said, As the L<font size="1">ORD</font> of hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look at you nor see you. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/3-15.htm" target="_top"><b>15</b></a></span>But now bring me a minstrel.

And all who were able to put on armor and older were summoned and stood on the border. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/3-22.htm" target="_top"><b>22</b></a></span>They rose early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water opposite <i>them</i> as red as blood. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/3-23.htm" target="_top"><b>23</b></a></span>Then they said, This is blood; the kings have surely fought together, and they have slain one another. Now therefore, Moab, to the spoil! <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/3-24.htm" target="_top"><b>24</b></a></span>But when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites arose and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land, slaughtering the Moabites. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/3-25.htm" target="_top"><b>25</b></a></span>Thus they destroyed the cities; and each one threw a stone on every piece of good land and filled it. So they stopped all the springs of water and felled all the good trees, until in Kir-hareseth <i>only</i> they left its stones; however, the slingers went about <i>it</i> and struck it. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/3-26.htm" target="_top"><b>26</b></a></span>When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him 700 men who drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom; but they could not. <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/2_kings/3-27.htm" target="_top"><b>27</b></a></span>Then he took his oldest son who was to reign in his place, and offered him as a burnt offering on the wall. And there came great wrath against Israel, and they departed from him and returned to their own land.<p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">NASB 1995 Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif.
