Chapter 3
Now
Iehoram
the
sonne
of
Ahab
began
to
reigne
ouer
Israel
in
Samaria,
the
eighteenth
yere
of
Iehoshaphat
king
of
Iudah,
and
reigned
twelue
yeeres.
2
And
he
wrought
euill
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
but
not
like
his
father
and
like
his
mother;
for
hee
put
away
the
image
of
Baal
that
his
father
had
made.
3
Neuerthelesse,
hee
cleaued
vnto
the
sinnes
of
Ieroboam
the
sonne
of
Nebat,
which
made
Israel
to
sinne;
he
departed
not
therefrom.
4
And
Mesha
king
of
Moab
was
a
sheepe-master,
and
rendred
vnto
the
king
of
Israel
an
hundred
thousand
lambes,
and
an
hundred
thousand
rammes,
with
the
wooll.
5
But
it
came
to
passe
when
Ahab
was
dead,
that
the
king
of
Moab
rebelled
against
the
king
of
Israel.
6
And
king
Iehoram
went
out
of
Samaria
the
same
time,
and
numbred
all
Israel.
7
And
he
went,
and
sent
to
Iehoshaphat
the
King
of
Iudah,
saying,
The
king
of
Moab
hath
rebelled
against
mee:
Wilt
thou
goe
with
mee
against
Moab
to
battell?
and
he
said,
I
will
goe
vp:
I
am
as
thou
art,
my
people
as
thy
people,
and
my
horses
as
thy
horses.
8
And
he
said,
Which
way
shall
we
goe
vp?
And
he
answered,
The
way
through
the
wildernesse
of
Edom.
9
So
the
king
of
Israel
went,
and
the
king
of
Iudah,
and
the
king
of
Edom:
and
they
fetcht
a
compasse
of
seuen
dayes
iourney:
and
there
was
no
water
for
the
hoste,
and
for
the
cattell
that
followed
them.
10
And
the
king
of
Israel
said,
Alas,
that
the
Lord
hath
called
these
three
kings
together,
to
deliuer
them
into
the
hand
of
Moab.
11
But
Iehoshaphat
said,
Is
there
not
here
a
Prophet
of
the
Lord,
that
we
may
enquire
of
the
Lord
by
him?
And
one
of
the
king
of
Israels
seruants
answered,
and
said,
Here
is
Elisha
the
sonne
of
Shaphat,
which
powred
water
on
the
hands
of
Eliiah.
12
And
Iehoshaphat
saide,
The
word
of
the
Lord
is
with
him.
So
the
king
of
Israel,
&
Iehoshaphat,
and
the
king
of
Edom
went
downe
to
him.
13
And
Elisha
saide
vnto
the
king
of
Israel,
What
haue
I
to
doe
with
thee?
Get
thee
to
the
prophets
of
thy
father,
and
to
the
prophets
of
thy
mother.
And
the
king
of
Israel
said
vnto
him,
Nay:
for
the
Lord
hath
called
these
three
kings
together,
to
deliuer
them
into
the
hand
of
Moab.
14
And
Elisha
said,
As
the
Lord
of
hostes
liueth,
before
whom
I
stand,
Surely
were
it
not
that
I
regard
the
presence
of
Iehoshaphat
the
King
of
Iudah,
I
would
not
looke
toward
thee,
nor
see
thee.
15
But
now
bring
me
a
minstrell.
And
it
came
to
passe
when
the
minstrell
played,
that
the
hand
of
the
Lord
came
vpon
him.
16
And
hee
sayde,
Thus
sayth
the
Lord,
Make
this
valley
full
of
ditches.
17
For
thus
sayth
the
Lord,
Yee
shall
not
see
winde,
neither
shall
ye
see
raine,
yet
that
valley
shall
be
filled
with
water,
that
ye
may
drinke,
both
ye,
and
your
cattell,
and
your
beasts.
18
And
this
is
but
a
light
thing
in
the
sight
of
the
Lord,
he
will
deliuer
the
Moabites
also
into
your
hand.
19
And
ye
shall
smite
euery
fenced
citie,
and
euery
choice
citie,
and
shall
fell
euery
good
tree,
and
stop
all
welles
of
water,
and
marre
euery
good
piece
of
land
with
stones.
20
And
it
came
to
passe
in
the
morning
when
the
meate
offering
was
offered,
that
behold,
there
came
water
by
the
way
of
Edom,
and
the
countrey
was
filled
with
water.
21
And
when
all
the
Moabites
heard
that
the
kings
were
come
vp
to
fight
against
them,
they
gathered
all
that
were
able
to
put
on
armour,
and
vpward,
and
stood
in
the
border.
22
And
they
rose
vp
early
in
the
morning,
and
the
Sunne
shone
vpon
the
water,
and
the
Moabites
sawe
the
water
on
the
other
side
as
red
as
blood.
23
And
they
said,
This
is
blood:
the
kings
are
surely
slaine,
and
they
haue
smitten
one
another:
now
therefore,
Moab,
to
the
spoile.
24
And
when
they
came
to
the
campe
of
Israel,
the
Israelites
rose
vp
and
smote
the
Moabites,
so
that
they
fledde
before
them:
but
they
went
forward
smiting
the
Moabites,
euen
in
their
countrey.
25
And
they
beat
downe
the
cities,
and
on
euery
good
piece
of
land
cast
euery
man
his
stone,
and
filled
it,
and
they
stopped
all
the
welles
of
water,
and
felled
all
the
good
trees:
onely
in
Kirharaseth
left
they
the
stones
thereof:
howbeit
the
slingers
went
about
it,
and
smote
it.
26
And
when
the
king
of
Moab
sawe
that
the
battell
was
too
sore
for
him,
he
tooke
with
him
seuen
hundred
men
that
drewe
swordes,
to
breake
thorow
euen
vnto
the
king
of
Edom:
but
they
could
not.
27
Then
hee
tooke
his
eldest
sonne
that
should
haue
reigned
in
his
stead,
and
offered
him
for
a
burnt
offering
vpon
the
wall:
and
there
was
great
indignation
against
Israel,
and
they
departed
from
him,
and
returned
to
their
owne
land.
