New Testament

2 Kings 3:8-12 New King James Version (NKJV)

8. Then he said, “Which way shall we go up?”And he answered, “By way of the Wilderness of Edom.”

9. So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and they marched on that roundabout route seven days; and there was no water for the army, nor for the animals that followed them.

10. And the king of Israel said, “Alas! For the Lord has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”

11. But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there no prophet of the Lord here, that we may inquire of the Lord by him?”So one of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said, “Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.”

12. And 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.
