KJV

1  Now Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahab²⁵⁶ began to reign⁴⁴²⁷ over⁵⁹²¹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ in Samaria⁸¹¹¹ the eighteenth^{8083 6240} year⁸¹⁴¹ of Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and reigned⁴⁴²⁷ twelve^{8147 6240} years.⁸¹⁴¹

2  And he wrought⁶²¹³ evil⁷⁴⁵¹ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ but⁷⁵³⁵ not³⁸⁰⁸ like his father,¹ and like his mother:⁵¹⁷ for he put away^{5493 853} the image⁴⁶⁷⁶ of Baal¹¹⁶⁸ that⁸³⁴ his father¹ had made.⁶²¹³

3  Nevertheless⁷⁵³⁵ he cleaved¹⁶⁹² unto the sins²⁴⁰³ of Jeroboam³³⁷⁹ the son¹¹²¹ of Nebat,⁵⁰²⁸ which⁸³⁴ made ⁸⁵³ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ to sin;²³⁹⁸ he departed⁵⁴⁹³ not³⁸⁰⁸ therefrom.⁴⁴⁸⁰

4  And Mesha⁴³³⁸ king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ was¹⁹⁶¹ a sheepmaster,⁵³⁴⁹ and rendered⁷⁷²⁵ unto the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ lambs,³⁷³³ and a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ thousand⁵⁰⁵ rams,³⁵² with the wool.⁶⁷⁸⁵

5  But it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when Ahab²⁵⁶ was dead,⁴¹⁹⁴ that the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ rebelled⁶⁵⁸⁶ against the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

6  And king⁴⁴²⁸ Jehoram³⁰⁸⁸ went out³³¹⁸ of Samaria^{4480 8111} the same¹⁹³¹ time,³¹¹⁷ and numbered^{6485 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel.³⁴⁷⁸

7  And he went¹⁹⁸⁰ and sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to⁴¹³ Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ saying,⁵⁵⁹ The king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ hath rebelled⁶⁵⁸⁶ against me: wilt thou go¹⁹⁸⁰ with⁸⁵⁴ me against⁴¹³ Moab⁴¹²⁴ to battle?⁴⁴²¹ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ I will go up:⁵⁹²⁷ I am as thou art, my people⁵⁹⁷¹ as thy people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and my horses⁵⁴⁸³ as thy horses.⁵⁴⁸³

8  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Which^{335 2088} way¹⁸⁷⁰ shall we go up?⁵⁹²⁷ And he answered,⁵⁵⁹ The way¹⁸⁷⁰ through the wilderness⁴⁰⁵⁷ of Edom.¹²³

9  So the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ went,¹⁹⁸⁰ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Edom:¹²³ and they fetched a compass⁵⁴³⁷ of seven⁷⁶⁵¹ days'³¹¹⁷ journey:¹⁸⁷⁰ and there was¹⁹⁶¹ no³⁸⁰⁸ water⁴³²⁵ for the host,⁴²⁶⁴ and for the cattle⁹²⁹ that⁸³⁴ followed⁷²⁷² them.

10  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Alas!¹⁶² that³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath called⁷¹²¹ these⁴²⁸ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ kings⁴⁴²⁸ together, to deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ them into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moab!⁴¹²⁴

11  But Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² said,⁵⁵⁹ Is there not³⁶⁹ here⁶³¹¹ a prophet⁵⁰³⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that we may inquire¹⁸⁷⁵ of ⁸⁵³ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ by^{4480 854} him? And one²⁵⁹ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel's servants^{4480 5650 3478} answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Here⁶³¹¹ is Elisha⁴⁷⁷ the son¹¹²¹ of Shaphat,⁸²⁰² which⁸³⁴ poured³³³² water⁴³²⁵ on⁵⁹²¹ the hands³⁰²⁷ of Elijah.⁴⁵²

12  And Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² said,⁵⁵⁹ The word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ is³⁴²⁶ with⁸⁵⁴ him. So the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ and Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² and the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Edom¹²³ went down³³⁸¹ to⁴¹³ him.

13  And Elisha⁴⁷⁷ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ What⁴¹⁰⁰ have I to do with thee? get¹⁹⁸⁰ thee to⁴¹³ the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of thy father,¹ and to⁴¹³ the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of thy mother.⁵¹⁷ And the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Nay:⁴⁰⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ hath called⁷¹²¹ these⁴²⁸ three⁷⁹⁶⁹ kings⁴⁴²⁸ together, to deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ them into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Moab.⁴¹²⁴

14  And Elisha⁴⁷⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ As the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ whom⁸³⁴ I stand,⁵⁹⁷⁵ surely,³⁵⁸⁸ were it not³⁸⁸⁴ that I⁵⁸⁹ regard⁵³⁷⁵ the presence⁶⁴⁴⁰ of Jehoshaphat³⁰⁹² the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Judah,³⁰⁶³ I would not look⁵⁰²⁷ toward⁴¹³ thee, nor⁵¹⁸ see⁷²⁰⁰ thee.

15  But now⁶²⁵⁸ bring³⁹⁴⁷ me a minstrel.⁵⁰⁵⁹ And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when the minstrel⁵⁰⁵⁹ played,⁵⁰⁵⁹ that the hand³⁰²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ upon⁵⁹²¹ him.

16  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Make⁶²¹³ this²⁰⁸⁸ valley⁵¹⁵⁸ full of ditches.^{1356 1356}

17  For³⁵⁸⁸ thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Ye shall not³⁸⁰⁸ see⁷²⁰⁰ wind,⁷³⁰⁷ neither³⁸⁰⁸ shall ye see⁷²⁰⁰ rain;¹⁶⁵³ yet that¹⁹³¹ valley⁵¹⁵⁸ shall be filled⁴³⁹⁰ with water,⁴³²⁵ that ye may drink,⁸³⁵⁴ both ye,⁸⁵⁹ and your cattle,⁴⁷³⁵ and your beasts.⁹²⁹

18  And this²⁰⁶³ is but a light thing⁷⁰⁴³ in the sight⁵⁸⁶⁹ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ he will deliver^{5414 853} the Moabites⁴¹²⁴ also into your hand.³⁰²⁷

19  And ye shall smite⁵²²¹ every³⁶⁰⁵ fenced⁴⁰¹³ city,⁵⁸⁹² and every³⁶⁰⁵ choice⁴⁰⁰⁴ city,⁵⁸⁹² and shall fell⁵³⁰⁷ every³⁶⁰⁵ good²⁸⁹⁶ tree,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and stop⁵⁶⁴⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ wells⁴⁵⁹⁹ of water,⁴³²⁵ and mar³⁵¹⁰ every³⁶⁰⁵ good²⁸⁹⁶ piece of land²⁵¹³ with stones.⁶⁸

20  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the morning,¹²⁴² when the meat offering⁴⁵⁰³ was offered,⁵⁹²⁷ that, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ there came⁹³⁵ water⁴³²⁵ by the way^{4480 1870} of Edom,¹²³ and the country⁷⁷⁶ was filled⁴³⁹⁰ with⁸⁵⁴ water.⁴³²⁵

21  And when all³⁶⁰⁵ the Moabites⁴¹²⁴ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ were come up⁵⁹²⁷ to fight³⁸⁹⁸ against them, they gathered all^{6817 4480 3605} that were able to put on²²⁹⁶ armor,²²⁹⁰ and upward,⁴⁶⁰⁵ and stood⁵⁹⁷⁵ in⁵⁹²¹ the border.¹³⁶⁶

22  And they rose up early⁷⁹²⁵ in the morning,¹²⁴² and the sun⁸¹²¹ shone²²²⁴ upon⁵⁹²¹ the water,⁴³²⁵ and the Moabites⁴¹²⁴ saw^{7200 853} the water⁴³²⁵ on the other side^{4480 5048} as red¹²² as blood:¹⁸¹⁸

23  And they said,⁵⁵⁹ This²⁰⁸⁸ is blood:¹⁸¹⁸ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ are surely slain,^{2717 2717} and they have smitten^{5221 853} one³⁷⁶ another:⁷⁴⁵³ now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore, Moab,⁴¹²⁴ to the spoil.⁷⁹⁹⁸

24  And when they came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ the camp⁴²⁶⁴ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ the Israelites³⁴⁷⁸ rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ and smote^{5221 853} the Moabites,⁴¹²⁴ so that they fled⁵¹²⁷ before^{4480 6440} them: but they went⁵²²¹ forward smiting^{5221 853} the Moabites,⁴¹²⁴ even in their country.

25  And they beat down²⁰⁴⁰ the cities,⁵⁸⁹² and on every³⁶⁰⁵ good²⁸⁹⁶ piece²⁵¹³ of land cast⁷⁹⁹³ every man³⁷⁶ his stone,⁶⁸ and filled⁴³⁹⁰ it; and they stopped⁵⁶⁴⁰ all³⁶⁰⁵ the wells⁴⁵⁹⁹ of water,⁴³²⁵ and felled⁵³⁰⁷ all³⁶⁰⁵ the good²⁸⁹⁶ trees:⁶⁰⁸⁶ only⁵⁷⁰⁴ in Kir-haraseth⁷⁰²⁵ left⁷⁶⁰⁴ they the stones⁶⁸ thereof; howbeit the slingers⁷⁰⁵¹ went about⁵⁴³⁷ it, and smote⁵²²¹ it.

26  And when the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab⁴¹²⁴ saw⁷²⁰⁰ that³⁵⁸⁸ the battle⁴⁴²¹ was too sore²³⁸⁸ for⁴⁴⁸⁰ him, he took³⁹⁴⁷ with⁸⁵⁴ him seven⁷⁶⁵¹ hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men³⁷⁶ that drew⁸⁰²⁵ swords,²⁷¹⁹ to break through¹²³⁴ even unto⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Edom:¹²³ but they could³²⁰¹ not.³⁸⁰⁸

27  Then he took^{3947 853} his eldest¹⁰⁶⁰ son¹¹²¹ that⁸³⁴ should have reigned⁴⁴²⁷ in his stead,⁸⁴⁷⁸ and offered⁵⁹²⁷ him for a burnt offering⁵⁹³⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ the wall.²³⁴⁶ And there was¹⁹⁶¹ great¹⁴¹⁹ indignation⁷¹¹⁰ against⁵⁹²¹ Israel:³⁴⁷⁸ and they departed⁵²⁶⁵ from^{4480 5921} him, and returned⁷⁷²⁵ to their own land.⁷⁷⁶

1 καὶ Ιωραμ υἱὸς Αχααβ ἐβασίλευσεν ἐν Ισραηλ ἐν ἔτει ὀκτωκαιδεκάτῳ Ιωσαφατ βασιλεῖ Ιουδα καὶ ἐβασίλευσεν δώδεκα ἔτη

2 καὶ ἐποίησεν τὸ πονηρὸν ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου πλὴν οὐχ ὡς ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐχ ὡς ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καὶ μετέστησεν τὰς στήλας τοῦ Βααλ ἃς ἐποίησεν ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ

3 πλὴν ἐν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ Ιεροβοαμ υἱοῦ Ναβατ ὃς ἐξήμαρτεν τὸν Ισραηλ ἐκολλήθη οὐκ ἀπέστη ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς

4 καὶ Μωσα βασιλεὺς Μωαβ ἦν νωκηδ καὶ ἐπέστρεφεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ ἐν τῇ ἐπαναστάσει ἑκατὸν χιλιάδας ἀρνῶν καὶ ἑκατὸν χιλιάδας κριῶν ἐπὶ πόκων

5 καὶ ἐγένετο μετὰ τὸ ἀποθανεῖν Αχααβ καὶ ἠθέτησεν βασιλεὺς Μωαβ ἐν βασιλεῖ Ισραηλ

6 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ιωραμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐκ Σαμαρείας καὶ ἐπεσκέψατο τὸν Ισραηλ

7 καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν πρὸς Ιωσαφατ βασιλέα Ιουδα λέγων βασιλεὺς Μωαβ ἠθέτησεν ἐν ἐμοί εἰ πορεύσῃ μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ εἰς Μωαβ εἰς πόλεμον καὶ εἶπεν ἀναβήσομαι ὅμοιός μοι ὅμοιός σοι ὡς ὁ λαός μου ὁ λαός σου ὡς οἱ ἵπποι μου οἱ ἵπποι σου

8 καὶ εἶπεν ποίᾳ ὁδῷ ἀναβῶ καὶ εἶπεν ὁδὸν ἔρημον Εδωμ

9 καὶ ἐπορεύθη ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς Εδωμ καὶ ἐκύκλωσαν ὁδὸν ἑπτὰ ἡμερῶν καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὕδωρ τῇ παρεμβολῇ καὶ τοῖς κτήνεσιν τοῖς ἐν τοῖς ποσὶν αὐτῶν

10 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ ὦ ὅτι κέκληκεν κύριος τοὺς τρεῖς βασιλεῖς παρερχομένους δοῦναι αὐτοὺς ἐν χειρὶ Μωαβ

11 καὶ εἶπεν Ιωσαφατ οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε προφήτης τοῦ κυρίου καὶ ἐπιζητήσωμεν τὸν κύριον παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπεκρίθη εἷς τῶν παίδων βασιλέως Ισραηλ καὶ εἶπεν ὧδε Ελισαιε υἱὸς Σαφατ ὃς ἐπέχεεν ὕδωρ ἐπὶ χεῖρας Ηλιου

12 καὶ εἶπεν Ιωσαφατ ἔστιν αὐτῷ ῥῆμα κυρίου καὶ κατέβη πρὸς αὐτὸν βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ καὶ Ιωσαφατ βασιλεὺς Ιουδα καὶ βασιλεὺς Εδωμ

13 καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε πρὸς βασιλέα Ισραηλ τί ἐμοὶ καὶ σοί δεῦρο πρὸς τοὺς προφήτας τοῦ πατρός σου καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ μή ὅτι κέκληκεν κύριος τοὺς τρεῖς βασιλεῖς τοῦ παραδοῦναι αὐτοὺς εἰς χεῖρας Μωαβ

14 καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε ζῇ κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων ᾧ παρέστην ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ὅτι εἰ μὴ πρόσωπον Ιωσαφατ βασιλέως Ιουδα ἐγὼ λαμβάνω εἰ ἐπέβλεψα πρὸς σὲ καὶ εἶδόν σε

15 καὶ νυνὶ δὲ λαβέ μοι ψάλλοντα καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἔψαλλεν ὁ ψάλλων καὶ ἐγένετο ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν χεὶρ κυρίου

16 καὶ εἶπεν τάδε λέγει κύριος ποιήσατε τὸν χειμάρρουν τοῦτον βοθύνους βοθύνους

17 ὅτι τάδε λέγει κύριος οὐκ ὄψεσθε πνεῦμα καὶ οὐκ ὄψεσθε ὑετόν καὶ ὁ χειμάρρους οὗτος πλησθήσεται ὕδατος καὶ πίεσθε ὑμεῖς καὶ αἱ κτήσεις ὑμῶν καὶ τὰ κτήνη ὑμῶν

18 καὶ κούφη αὕτη ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς κυρίου καὶ παραδώσω τὴν Μωαβ ἐν χειρὶ ὑμῶν

19 καὶ πατάξετε πᾶσαν πόλιν ὀχυρὰν καὶ πᾶν ξύλον ἀγαθὸν καταβαλεῖτε καὶ πάσας πηγὰς ὕδατος ἐμφράξετε καὶ πᾶσαν μερίδα ἀγαθὴν ἀχρειώσετε ἐν λίθοις

20 καὶ ἐγένετο τὸ πρωὶ ἀναβαινούσης τῆς θυσίας καὶ ἰδοὺ ὕδατα ἤρχοντο ἐξ ὁδοῦ Εδωμ καὶ ἐπλήσθη ἡ γῆ ὕδατος

21 καὶ πᾶσα Μωαβ ἤκουσαν ὅτι ἀνέβησαν οἱ βασιλεῖς πολεμεῖν αὐτούς καὶ ἀνεβόησαν ἐκ παντὸς περιεζωσμένου ζώνην καὶ ἐπάνω καὶ ἔστησαν ἐπὶ τοῦ ὁρίου

22 καὶ ὤρθρισαν τὸ πρωί καὶ ὁ ἥλιος ἀνέτειλεν ἐπὶ τὰ ὕδατα καὶ εἶδεν Μωαβ ἐξ ἐναντίας τὰ ὕδατα πυρρὰ ὡσεὶ αἷμα

23 καὶ εἶπαν αἷμα τοῦτο τῆς ῥομφαίας ἐμαχέσαντο οἱ βασιλεῖς καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἀνὴρ τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ καὶ νῦν ἐπὶ τὰ σκῦλα Μωαβ

24 καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Ισραηλ καὶ Ισραηλ ἀνέστησαν καὶ ἐπάταξαν τὴν Μωαβ καὶ ἔφυγον ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰσπορευόμενοι καὶ τύπτοντες τὴν Μωαβ

25 καὶ τὰς πόλεις καθεῖλον καὶ πᾶσαν μερίδα ἀγαθὴν ἔρριψαν ἀνὴρ τὸν λίθον καὶ ἐνέπλησαν αὐτὴν καὶ πᾶσαν πηγὴν ὕδατος ἐνέφραξαν καὶ πᾶν ξύλον ἀγαθὸν κατέβαλον ἕως τοῦ καταλιπεῖν τοὺς λίθους τοῦ τοίχου καθῃρημένους καὶ ἐκύκλευσαν οἱ σφενδονῆται καὶ ἐπάταξαν αὐτήν

26 καὶ εἶδεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Μωαβ ὅτι ἐκραταίωσεν ὑπὲρ αὐτὸν ὁ πόλεμος καὶ ἔλαβεν μεθ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ ἑπτακοσίους ἄνδρας ἐσπασμένους ῥομφαίαν διακόψαι πρὸς βασιλέα Εδωμ καὶ οὐκ ἠδυνήθησαν

27 καὶ ἔλαβεν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ τὸν πρωτότοκον ὃς ἐβασίλευσεν ἀντ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν αὐτὸν ὁλοκαύτωμα ἐπὶ τοῦ τείχους καὶ ἐγένετο μετάμελος μέγας ἐπὶ Ισραηλ καὶ ἀπῆραν ἀπ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν εἰς τὴν γῆν

1 Joram vero filius Achab regnavit super Israël in Samaria anno decimooctavo Josaphat regis Judæ: regnavitque duodecim annis.

2 Et fecit malum coram Domino, sed non sicut pater suus et mater: tulit enim statuas Baal quas fecerat pater ejus.

3 Verumtamen in peccatis Jeroboam filii Nabat, qui peccare fecit Israël, adhæsit, nec recessit ab eis.

4 Porro Mesa rex Moab nutriebat pecora multa, et solvebat regi Israël centum millia agnorum, et centum millia arietum cum velleribus suis.

5 Cumque mortuus fuisset Achab, prævaricatus est fœdus quod habebat cum rege Israël.

6 Egressus est igitur rex Joram in die illa de Samaria, et recensuit universum Israël.

7 Misitque ad Josaphat regem Juda, dicens: Rex Moab recessit a me: veni mecum contra eum ad prælium. Qui respondit: Ascendam: qui meus est, tuus est: populus meus, populus tuus, et equi mei, equi tui.

8 Dixitque: Per quam viam ascendemus? At ille respondit: Per desertum Idumææ.

9 Perrexerunt igitur rex Israël, et rex Juda, et rex Edom, et circuierunt per viam septem dierum, nec erat aqua exercitui et jumentis quæ sequebantur eos.

10 Dixitque rex Israël: Heu! heu! heu! congregavit nos Dominus tres reges ut traderet in manus Moab.

11 Et ait Josaphat: Estne hic propheta Domini, ut deprecemur Dominum per eum? Et respondit unus de servis regis Israël: Est hic Eliseus filius Saphat, qui fundebat aquam super manus Eliæ.

12 Et ait Josaphat: Est apud eum sermo Domini. Descenditque ad eum rex Israël, et Josaphat rex Juda, et rex Edom.

13 Dixit autem Eliseus ad regem Israël: Quid mihi et tibi est? vade ad prophetas patris tui et matris tuæ. Et ait illi rex Israël: Quare congregavit Dominus tres reges hos ut traderet eos in manus Moab?

14 Dixitque ad eum Eliseus: Vivit Dominus exercituum, in cujus conspectu sto, quod si non vultum Josaphat regis Judæ erubescerem, non attendissem quidem te, nec respexissem.

15 Nunc autem adducite mihi psaltem. Cumque caneret psaltes, facta est super eum manus Domini, et ait:

16 Hæc dicit Dominus: Facite alveum torrentis hujus fossas et fossas.

17 Hæc enim dicit Dominus: Non videbitis ventum, neque pluviam: et alveus iste replebitur aquis, et bibetis vos, et familiæ vestræ, et jumenta vestra.

18 Parumque est hoc in conspectu Domini: insuper tradet etiam Moab in manus vestras.

19 Et percutietis omnem civitatem munitam, et omnem urbem electam, et universum lignum fructiferum succidetis, cunctosque fontes aquarum obturabitis, et omnem agrum egregium operietis lapidibus.

20 Factum est igitur mane, quando sacrificium offerri solet, et ecce aquæ veniebant per viam Edom, et repleta est terra aquis.

21 Universi autem Moabitæ audientes quod ascendissent reges ut pugnarent adversum eos, convocaverunt omnes qui accincti erant balteo desuper, et steterunt in terminis.

22 Primoque mane surgentes, et orto jam sole ex adverso aquarum, viderunt Moabitæ e contra aquas rubras quasi sanguinem,

23 dixeruntque: Sanguis gladii est: pugnaverunt reges contra se, et cæsi sunt mutuo: nunc perge ad prædam, Moab.

24 Perrexeruntque in castra Israël: porro consurgens Israël, percussit Moab: at illi fugerunt coram eis. Venerunt igitur qui vicerant, et percusserunt Moab,

25 et civitates destruxerunt: et omnem agrum optimum, mittentes singuli lapides, repleverunt: et universos fontes aquarum obturaverunt: et omnia ligna fructifera succiderunt, ita ut muri tantum fictiles remanerent: et circumdata est civitas a fundibulariis, et magna ex parte percussa.

26 Quod cum vidisset rex Moab, prævaluisse scilicet hostes, tulit secum septingentos viros educentes gladium, ut irrumperent ad regem Edom: et non potuerunt.

27 Arripiensque filium suum primogenitum, qui regnaturus erat pro eo, obtulit holocaustum super murum: et facta est indignatio magna in Israël, statimque recesserunt ab eo, et reversi sunt in terram suam.
