11. But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there a prophet of the Lord here, through whom we may inquire of the Lord?”Then one of the king of Israel’s servants answered, “Elisha the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah, is here.”
12. Jehoshaphat said, “The word of the Lord is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13. Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What have I to do with you? Go to your father’s prophets, or to your mother’s prophets.”Then the king of Israel said to him, “No. The Lord has called these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
14. Elisha said, “As the Lord of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not for my regard for Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look at you nor see you.
15. Now bring me a musician.”And when the musician played, the hand of the Lord came upon him.
16. He said, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Make this valley full of pools.’
17. For thus says the Lord, ‘You will not see wind, nor will you see rain, yet that valley will be filled with water, that you may drink, both you and your livestock, and your cattle.’
18. This is an easy thing in the sight of the Lord, and He will give the Moabites into your hand.
19. You will strike every fortified city and every choice city, and will cut down every good tree, and stop every spring of water, and you will ruin every good piece of land with stones.”
20. So in the morning as the offering was offered up, suddenly water flowed from the way of Edom, and the land was filled with water.
21. When all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, all who were able to bear arms and older were summoned and stood at the border.
22. They got up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water opposite them was as red as blood.
23. Then they said, “This is blood. The kings have surely fought together; and they have killed one another. Now therefore, Moab, to the spoil!”
