2 Kings 3

1 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.

And Jehoram [the] son of Ahab he became king over Israel in Samaria in year eight-teen of Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah and he reigned two [plus] ten year[s].

2 And he wrought evil in the sight of Yhwh; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.

And he did the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh only not like father his and like mother his and he removed [the] sacred pillar of Baal which he had made father his.

3 Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.

Only to [the] sins of Jeroboam [the] son of Nebat which he caused to sin Israel he clung not he turned aside from it.

4 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.

And Mesha [the] king of Moab he was a sheep-breeder and he returned to [the] king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs and one hundred thousand rams wool.

5 But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.

And it was when died Ahab and he rebelled [the] king of Moab against [the] king of Israel.

6 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.

And he went out the king Jehoram on the day that from Samaria and he mustered all Israel.

7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses.

And he went and he sent to Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah saying [the] king of Moab he has rebelled against me ¿ will you go with me against Moab for battle and he said I will go up as me as you as people my as people your as horses my as horses your.

8 And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.

And he said where? this [is] the way [which] we will go up and he said [the] way of [the] wilderness of Edom.

9 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days’ journey: and there was no water for the army, and for the cattle that followed them.

And he went [the] king of Israel and [the] king of Judah and [the] king of Edom and they went around a journey of seven days and not it belonged water to the army and to the animal[s] which [was] at feet their.

10 And the king of Israel said, Alas! that Yhwh hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!

And he said [the] king of Israel alas! for he has summoned Yahweh [the] three the kings these to give them in [the] hand of Moab.

11 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Yhwh, that we may enquire of Yhwh by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.

And he said Jehoshaphat ¿ [is] there not here a prophet of Yahweh and let us consult Yahweh from him and he answered one from [the] servants of [the] king of Israel and he said [is] here Elisha [the] son of Shaphat who he poured water on [the] hands of Elijah.

12 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of Yhwh is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

And he said Jehoshaphat there him [is] [the] word of Yahweh and they went down to him [the] king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and [the] king of Edom.

13 And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for Yhwh hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.

And he said Elisha to [the] king of Israel what? [is] to me and to you go to [the] prophets of father your and to [the] prophets of mother your and he said to him [the] king of Israel may not [it be so] for he has summoned Yahweh [the] three the kings these to give them in [the] hand of Moab.

14 And Elisha said, As Yhwh of Armies liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.

And he said Elisha [by] [the] life of Yahweh of hosts whom I stand before him for if not [the] face of Jehoshaphat [the] king of Judah I [am] lifting up if I will look to you and if I will see you.

15 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of Yhwh came upon him.

And now fetch for me a musician and it was when played the musician and it was on him [the] hand of Yahweh.

16 And he said, Thus saith Yhwh, Make this valley full of ditches.

And he said thus he says Yahweh make the wadi this ditches - ditches.

17 For thus saith Yhwh, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.

For thus - he says Yahweh not you will see wind and not you will see rain and the wadi that it will be filled water and you will drink you and livestock your and animal[s] your.

18 And this is but a light thing in the sight of Yhwh: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.

And it will be trifling this in [the] eyes of Yahweh and he will give Moab in hand your.

19 And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.

And you will strike down every city of fortification and every city of choice and every tree good you will make fall and all [the] springs of water you will stop up and every portion of land good you will spoil with stones.

20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the grain offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.

And it was in the morning when went up the offering and there! waters [were] coming from [the] direction of Edom and it was filled the land the waters.

21 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the border.

And all Moab they had heard that they had come up the kings to fight against them and they were summoned from every [one who] girds on a belt and up-wards and they took their stand at the border.

22 And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:

And they rose early in the morning and the sun it shone on the water and they saw Moab from before the water red like blood.

23 And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.

And they said [is] blood this certainly they have fought one another the kings and they have struck down each neighbor his and therefore to the plunder O Moab.

24 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.

And they came to [the] camp of Israel and they arose Israel and they struck down Moab and they fled from before them (and they struck down *Q(K)*) it and they struck down Moab.

25 And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kir–haraseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.

And the cities they tore down and every portion of land good they threw each stone his and they filled it and every spring of water they stopped up and every tree good they made fall until he left behind stones its in Kir Hareseth and they surrounded [it] the slingers and they struck it.

26 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even unto the king of Edom: but they could not.

And he saw [the] king of Moab that it was [too] strong for him the battle and he took him seven hundred man [who] drew a sword to break through to [the] king of Edom and not they were able.

27 Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.

And he took son his the firstborn who he will reign in place of him and he offered up him a burnt offering on the wall and it was wrath great towards Israel and they departed from on him and they returned to the land.
