14. Elisha said, “As Adonai-Tzva’ot lives, before whom I stand, were it not that I respect the presence of King Jehoshaphat of Judah, I would not look at you or even see you.
15. Now, bring me a musician.” Now as the musician played, the hand of Adonai came upon him,
16. and he said, “Thus says Adonai: Make this valley full of trenches.
17. For thus says Adonai: You will not see wind nor will you see rain, yet this valley will be filled with water. So you will drink, both you and your cattle and your animals.
18. Yet this is an easy thing in Adonai’s eyes—for He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
19. Then you must strike every fortified city and every major town, cut down every good tree, stop up all the springs of water and ruin every good field with stones.”
20. Then it came to pass in the morning, about the time of offering up the sacrifice, behold—water was flowing from the direction of Edom—so that the water covered the land.
21. Meanwhile the Moabites heard that the kings had marched to fight against them. So they gathered themselves together, all that were able to put on armor and older, and stood at the border.
22. When they rose up early in the morning and the sun was shining upon the water, the Moabites saw the water from a distance as red as blood!
23. So they said, “This is blood! The kings have surely clashed swords and slain each other. Now, to the spoil, Moab!”
24. But when they came near Israel’s camp, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, who fled before them. Then they invaded, slaughtering the Moabites.
