Melachim Bais 3:22-27 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

22. And they rose up early in the boker, and the shemesh shone upon the mayim, and Mo'av saw the mayim on the other side, and to them it looked as red as dahm;

23. And they said, This is dahm; the melachim are surely slain, and they have struck one another; now therefore, Moav, to the plunder!

24. And when they came to the machaneh Yisroel, Yisroel rose up and struck Mo'av, so that they fled before them; but they went forward striking Mo'av, even invading their country.

25. And they beat down the towns, and on every good allotment of land every ish cast his even (stone), and filled it; and they stopped up kol ma'yan mayim, and felled kol etz tov; only in Kir Charaset left they the avanim thereof; howbeit the slingers surrounded it, and struck it.

26. And when Melech Moav saw that the milchamah was chazak against him, he took with him 700 ish that drew cherev, to break through even unto Melech Edom; but they could not.

27. Then he took bno habechor that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for an olah upon the chomah. And there was ketzef gadol (great fury) against Yisroel; and they withdrew, and returned to their own land.
