2 Kings - Chapter: 3


3:1	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.
3:2	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.
3:3	Neuerthelesse, hee cleaued vnto the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne; he departed not therefrom.
3:4	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.
3:5	But it came to passe when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
3:6	And king Iehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbred all Israel.
3:7	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.
3:8	And he said, Which way shall we goe vp? And he answered, The way through the wildernesse of Edom.
3:9	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.
3:10	And the king of Israel said, Alas, that the Lord hath called these three kings together, to deliuer them into the hand of Moab.
3:11	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.
3:12	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.
3:13	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.
3:14	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.
3:15	But now bring me a minstrell. And it came to passe when the minstrell played, that the hand of the Lord came vpon him.
3:16	And hee sayde, Thus sayth the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches.
3:17	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.
3:18	And this is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord, he will deliuer the Moabites also into your hand.
3:19	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.
3:20	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.
3:21	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.
3:22	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.
3:23	And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slaine, and they haue smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoile.
3:24	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.
3:25	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.
3:26	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.
3:27	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.


3:1	Nowe Iehoram the sonne of Ahab beganne to reigne ouer Israel in Samaria, the eighteenth yeere of Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, and reigned twelue yeeres.
3:2	And he wrought euill in the sight of the Lord, but not like his father nor like his mother: for he tooke away the image of Baal that his father had made.
3:3	Neuerthelesse, he cleaued vnto the sinnes of Ieroboam, the sonne of Nebat, which made Israel to sinne, and departed not therefrom.
3:4	Then Mesha King of Moab had store of sheepe, and rendred vnto the King of Israel an hundreth thousande lambes, and an hundreth thousande rammes with the wooll.
3:5	But when Ahab was dead, the king of Moab rebelled against the King of Israel.
3:6	Therefore King Iehoram went out of Samaria the same season, and nombred all Israel,
3:7	And went, and sent to Iehoshaphat King of Iudah, saying, The King of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou goe with me to battell against Moab? And he answered, I will goe vp: for I am, as thou art, my people, as thy people, and mine horses as thine horses.
3:8	Then said he, What way shall we goe vp? And he answered, The way of the wildernesse of Edom.
3:9	So went the King of Israel and the king of Iudah, and the King of Edom, and when they had compassed the way seuen dayes, they had no water for the hoste, nor for the cattell that followed them.
3:10	Therefore the King of Israel sayde, Alas, that the Lord hath called these three Kings, to giue them into the hand of Moab.
3:11	But Iehoshaphat saide, Is there not here a Prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire 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 handes of Eliiah.
3:12	Then Iehoshaphat saide, The worde of the Lord is with him. Therefore the King of Israel, and Iehoshaphat, and the King of Edom went downe to him.
3:13	And Elisha sayde 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 saide vnto him, Nay: for the Lord hath called these three Kings, to giue them into the hande of Moab.
3:14	Then Elisha said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, in whose sight I stande, if it were not, that I regarde the presence of Iehoshaphat the King of Iudah, I woulde not haue looked towarde thee, nor seene thee.
3:15	But nowe bring me a minstrel. And when the minstrel played, the hand of the Lord came vpon him.
3:16	And he saide, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches.
3:17	For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall neither see winde nor see raine, yet the valley shalbe filled with water, that ye may drinke, both ye and your cattel, and your beastes.
3:18	But this is a small thing in the sight of the Lord: for he will giue Moab into your hande.
3:19	And ye shall smite euery strong towne and euery chiefe citie, and shall fell euery faire tree, and shall stoppe all the fountaines of water, and marre euery good fielde with stones.
3:20	And in the morning whe the meat offring was offred, beholde, there came water by the way of Edom: and the countrey was filled with water.
3:21	And when al the Moabites heard that the Kings were come vp to fight against them, they gathered all that was able to put on harnesse, and vpwarde, and stood in their border.
3:22	And they rose earely in the morning, when the sunne arose vpon the water, and the Moabites saw the water ouer against them, as red as blood.
3:23	And they saide, This is blood the Kings are surely slaine, and one hath smitten another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoyle.
3:24	And when they came to the host of Israel, the Israelites arose vp, and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them, but they inuaded them, and smote Moab.
3:25	And they destroyed the cities: and on all the good field euery man cast his stone, and filled them and they stopt all the fountaines of water, and felled all the good trees: onely in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof: howebeit they went about it with slings, and smote it.
3:26	And when the King of Moab saw that the battel was too sore for him, he tooke with him seuen hudreth men that drew the sword, to break through vnto the King of Edom: but they could not.
3:27	Then he tooke his eldest sonne, that should haue reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offring vpon the wall: so that Israel was sore grieued, and they departed from him, and returned to their countrey.


3:1	Iehoram the sonne of Ahab beganne to raygne vpon Israel in Samaria the .xviij. yere of Iehosaphat kynge of Iuda, and raygned twelue yeres.
3:2	And he wrought euell in the syght of the Lorde: but not lyke his father and lyke his mother, for he put a waye the ymages of Baal, that his father had made.
3:3	Neuerthelesse, he cleaued vnto the synnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat (which made Israel to synne) and departed not ther from.
3:4	And Mesa kynge of Moab was a Lorde of shepe, and rendered vnto the kynge of Israel an hundred thousande lambes & an hundred thousande rammes with the wolle.
3:5	But whan Ahab was deed, it fortuned, that the kynge of Moab rebelled agaynst the kynge of Israel.
3:6	And kynge Iehoram went out of Samaria the same ceason, and nombred all Israell,
3:7	& went, & sent to Iehosaphat the kynge of Iuda, sayinge: the kynge of Moab hath offended agaynst me, wilt thou come wt me agaynst Moab to battell? He answered: I wyll come vp, for as I am, so art thou and as my people be, so are thy people, & thy horses as myne.
3:8	And he sayde. What waye shall we go vp? And he answered. The waye thorowe the wildernesse of Edom.
3:9	And so the kynge of Israel toke his iourneye, and the kynge of Iuda, & the kynge of Edom. And when they had compassed the waye seuen dayes, they had no water for the hoost and for the cattell that folowed them.
3:10	And the kynge of Israel sayde. Alas, the Lorde hath called these thre kynges together, to delyuer them ouer into the hande of Moab.
3:11	But Iehosaphat sayde: is there not here a prophet of the Lorde, that we maye enquyre of the Lorde by him? And one of the kynge of Israels seruauntes answered and sayde: here is Elisa the sonne of Saphat, which powred water on the handes of Elia.
3:12	And Iehosaphat sayde Is not the worde of the Lorde wt hym? And so the kynge of Israel, & Iehosaphat and the kynge of Edom went downe to him.
3:13	And Elisa sayde vnto the kynge of Israel. what haue I to do with the? Get the, to the prophetes of thy father, and to the prophetes of thy mother. And the kynge of Israel sayde vnto him. Oh naye, For the Lorde hath called these thre kynges together to delyuer them into the hande of Moab.
3:14	And Elisa sayde: as sure as the Lord of Hostes lyueth (in whose syght I stand) and it were not that I regarde the presence of Iehosaphat the kynge of Iuda, I wolde not loke towarde the, nor yet se the.
3:15	But nowe bringe me a mynstrell. And whan the mynstrell played, the hande of the Lorde came vpon him.
3:16	And he sayde. Thus sayeth the Lorde. Make this playne grounde full of diches.
3:17	For thus sayth the Lorde: ye shall se nether wynde nor rayne, & yet the broke shalbe fylled wt water, that ye maye dryncke, both ye, and youre beastes, and youre catell.
3:18	And this is yet but a small thynge in the syght of the Lorde, for asmoch as he will geue ouer the Moabites also into youre handes.
3:19	And ye shall smyte euery stronge towne, and euery goodlye cytie, and shall fell euery pleasaunt tree, and stoppe euery well of water, and marre euery good platte of grounde with stones.
3:20	And in the morninge, whan the meateofferynge was offred, it fortuned, that there came water by the waye from Edom, and the contreye was fylled with water.
3:21	And when all the Moabites hearde that the kynges were come vp to fyght agaynst them, they gathered all to geather, from the youngest that was able to put on harnesse and so vpwarde, and stode in the border of the lande.
3:22	And they were vp early in the morninge and the sonne shone vpon the water, that the Moabites sawe the water a farre of as red as bloude,
3:23	and they sayde. This is the bloude of slaughter: the kynges are slayne and one hath smytten another. Nowe therfore Moab gett the to the spoyle.
3:24	And when they came to the Hoste of Israel, the Israelytes stode vp and smote the Moabites, so that they fledd before them, but they folowed vpon them, & smote Moab.
3:25	And they ouerthrewe the cyties, & on euery good parcell of lande, cast euery man his stone, and fylled it, and they stopte all the welles of waters, and felde all the good trees. Onely in the cytie of brick left they the stones therof: howbeit they went aboute it with slynges, and smote it.
3:26	And when the kynge of Moab sawe, that the battell was sore agaynst him, he toke wt him seuen hundred men that drew the swerde to haue gone thorowe, euen vnto the kynge of Edom: but they coulde not.
3:27	And then he toke his eldest sonne (that shulde haue raygned in his steade) & offered him for a burnt offering vpon the wall. And ther was great indignacyon agaynst Israel, and they departed from him, and returned to their awne lande.
