1 | Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years. | 2Ki 1:17 2Ki 8:16 |
2 | He did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made. | 2Ki 6:31 2Ki 6:32 2Ki 21:6 2Ki 21:20 1Sa 15:19 1Ki 16:19 |
3 | Nevertheless he cleaved to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; he didn`t depart therefrom. | 2Ki 10:20-31 1Ki 12:28-33 |
4 | Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master; and he rendered to the king of Israel the wool of one hundred thousand lambs, and of one hundred thousand rams. | Gn 13:2 Gn 26:13 Gn 26:14 2Ch 26:10 Jb 1:3 Jb 42:12 |
5 | But it happened, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel. | 2Ki 1:1 2Ki 8:20 2Ch 21:8-10 |
6 | King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel. | 1Sa 11:8 1Sa 15:4 2Sa 24:1-25 1Ki 20:27 |
7 | He went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: will you go with me against Moab to battle? He said, I will go up: I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses. | 1Ki 22:4 1Ki 22:32 1Ki 22:33 2Ch 18:3 2Ch 18:29-32 2Ch 19:2 2Ch 21:4-7 2Ch 22:3 2Ch 22:4 2Ch 22:10-12 |
8 | He said, Which way shall we go up? He answered, The way of the wilderness of Edom. | Nm 21:4 Mal 1:2 Mal 1:3 |
9 | So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days` journey: and there was no water for the host, nor for the animals that followed them. | 1Ki 22:27 |
10 | The king of Israel said, Alas! for Yahweh has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab. | 2Ki 6:33 Gn 4:13 Ps 78:34-36 Pr 19:3 Isa 8:21 Isa 51:20 |
11 | But Jehoshaphat said, Isn`t there here a prophet of Yahweh, that we may inquire of Yahweh by him? One of the king of Israel`s servants answered, Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah. | 1Ki 22:7 Ps 74:9 Am 3:7 |
12 | Jehoshaphat said, The word of Yahweh is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him. | 2Ki 2:14 2Ki 2:15 2Ki 2:21 2Ki 2:24 1Sa 3:19-21 |
13 | Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? get you to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother. The king of Israel said to him, No; for Yahweh has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab. | Ezk 14:3-5 Mt 8:29 Jn 2:4 2Co 5:16 2Co 6:15 |
14 | Elisha said, As Yahweh of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you. | 2Ki 5:16 1Ki 17:1 1Ki 18:15 |
15 | But now bring me a minstrel. It happened, when the minstrel played, that the hand of Yahweh came on him. | 1Sa 10:5 1Sa 16:23 1Sa 18:10 1Ch 25:2 1Ch 25:3 Eph 5:18 Eph 5:19 |
16 | He said, Thus says Yahweh, Make this valley full of trenches. | 2Ki 4:3 Nm 2:18 Nm 2:16-18 |
17 | For thus says Yahweh, You shall not see wind, neither shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and you shall drink, both you and your cattle and your animals. | 1Ki 18:36-39 Ps 84:6 Ps 107:35 Isa 41:17 Isa 41:18 Isa 43:19 Isa 43:20 Isa 48:21 |
18 | This is but a light thing in the sight of Yahweh: he will also deliver the Moabites into your hand. | 1Ki 3:13 Jer 32:17 Jer 32:27 Lk 1:37 Eph 3:20 |
19 | You shall strike every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones. | 2Ki 13:17 Nm 24:17 Jg 6:16 1Sa 15:3 1Sa 23:2 |
20 | It happened in the morning, about the time of offering the offering, that behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water. | Ex 29:39 Ex 29:40 1Ki 18:36 Dn 9:21 |
21 | Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all who were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood on the border. | 1Ki 20:11 Eph 6:14 |
22 | They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water over against them as red as blood: |
23 | and they said, This is blood; the kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each man his fellow: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil. | 2Ki 6:18-20 2Ki 7:6 |
24 | When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites. | Jsh 8:20-22 Jg 20:40-46 1Th 5:3 1Th 5:4 |
25 | They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the springs of water, and felled all the good trees, until in Kir-hareseth [only] they left the stones of it; however the men armed with slings went about it, and struck it. | 2Ki 3:19 Jg 9:45 2Sa 8:2 Isa 37:26 Isa 37:27 |
26 | When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew sword, to break through to the king of Edom; but they could not. | 2Ki 3:9 Am 2:1 |
27 | Then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. There was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land. | Gn 22:2 Gn 22:13 Dt 12:31 Jg 11:31 Jg 11:39 Ps 106:37 Ps 106:38 Ezk 16:20 Mic 6:7 |
