15. But now bring me someone who plays the harp.” When the person played the harp, the Lord’S power came on Elisha.
16. Then Elisha said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Dig holes in the valley.’
17. Yes, this is what the Lord says: ‘You will not see wind or rain, but that valley will be filled with water. Then you and your cattle and other animals will have water to drink.’
18. This is an easy thing for the Lord to do. He will also help you defeat the Moabites.
19. You will attack every strong city and every good city. You will cut down every good tree. You will stop up all the springs of water. You will ruin every good field with stones.”
20. In the morning, at the time for the morning sacrifice, water began flowing from the direction of Edom and filled the valley.
21. The Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them. So they gathered together all the men old enough to wear armor and waited at the border.
22. The Moabites got up early that morning. The rising sun was shining on the water in the valley, and it looked like blood to the Moabites.
