14. Elisha said, "I swear by the life of the Lord of heavenly forces, the one I stand before and serve, if I didn’t care about Judah’s King Jehoshaphat, I wouldn’t notice you or even look at you!
15. Now bring me a musician." While the musician played, the Lord’s power came over Elisha.
16. He said, "This is what the Lord says: This valley will be filled with pools.
17. This is what the Lord says: You won’t see any wind or rain, but that valley will be full of water. Then you’ll be able to drink—you, your cattle, and your animals.
18. This is easy for the Lord to do. He will also hand Moab over to you.
19. You will then attack every fort and every grand city, cutting down all the good trees, stopping up all the springs, and ruining the good fields with stones."
20. The next morning, at the time to offer the grain offering, water came flowing from the direction of Edom. The land filled up with water.
21. Now all the Moabites had heard how these kings had come to fight against them. So all who were able to fight were summoned, and they took up positions along the border.
22. They got up early in the morning as the sun’s rays shone on the water. The Moabites saw the water from a distance. It looked as red as blood.
23. They said, "It’s blood! The kings must have fought each other and killed themselves! Now get the plunder, Moab!"
