2 Kings 3:11-19

2 Kings 3:11-19 NCV

But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there a prophet of the LORD here? We can ask the LORD through him.” An officer of the king of Israel answered, “Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He was Elijah’s servant.” Jehoshaphat said, “He speaks the LORD’s truth.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to see Elisha. Elisha said to the king of Israel, “I have nothing to do with you. Go to the prophets of your father and to the prophets of your mother!” The king of Israel said to Elisha, “No, the LORD has called us three kings together to hand us over to the Moabites.” Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD All-Powerful lives, whom I serve, I tell you the truth. I wouldn’t even look at you or notice you if Jehoshaphat king of Judah were not here. I respect him. Now bring me someone who plays the harp.” While the harp was being played, the LORD gave Elisha power. Then Elisha said, “The LORD says to dig holes in the valley. The LORD says you won’t see wind or rain, but the valley will be filled with water. Then you, your cattle, and your other animals can drink. This is easy for the LORD to do; he will also hand Moab over to you. You will destroy every strong, walled city and every important town. You will cut down every good tree and stop up all springs. You will ruin every good field with rocks.”
