WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.780 Chapter 3 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria, 00:06.280 --> 00:10.440 the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years. 00:11.000 --> 00:15.080 And he wrought evil in the sight of the Lord, but not like his father and like his 00:15.080 --> 00:15.280 mother. 00:16.180 --> 00:19.240 For he put away the image of Baal that his father had made. 00:19.920 --> 00:24.420 Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made 00:24.420 --> 00:25.240 Israel to sin. 00:26.000 --> 00:27.540 He departed not therefrom. 00:28.500 --> 00:34.260 And Misha king of Moab was a sheep master, and rendered unto the king of Israel an 00:34.260 --> 00:38.340 hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams with the wool. 00:38.920 --> 00:43.880 But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the 00:43.880 --> 00:44.760 king of Israel. 00:45.520 --> 00:49.780 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel. 00:50.480 --> 00:54.660 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab 00:54.660 --> 00:56.240 hath rebelled against me. 00:56.240 --> 00:59.040 Wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? 00:59.300 --> 01:00.860 And he said, I will go up. 01:01.320 --> 01:02.440 I am as thou art. 01:02.840 --> 01:06.360 My people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses. 01:06.640 --> 01:08.480 And he said, Which way shall we go up? 01:08.560 --> 01:11.740 And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom. 01:12.020 --> 01:15.680 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom. 01:16.300 --> 01:18.860 And they fetched a compass of seven days' journey. 01:19.340 --> 01:22.420 And there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them. 01:24.260 --> 01:29.240 Alas, that the Lord hath called these three kings together to deliver them into 01:29.240 --> 01:30.580 the hand of Moab. 01:31.820 --> 01:36.300 Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may inquire of the Lord by him? 01:39.080 --> 01:44.040 Here is Elisha, the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah. 01:45.640 --> 01:47.480 The word of the Lord is with him. 01:47.920 --> 01:51.680 So the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom went down to him. 01:51.680 --> 01:55.560 And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? 01:56.200 --> 01:59.500 Get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. 01:59.780 --> 02:04.520 And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay, for the Lord hath called these three 02:04.520 --> 02:08.380 kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab. 02:08.520 --> 02:14.700 And Elisha said, As the Lord of hosts liveth before whom I stand, surely were it 02:14.700 --> 02:18.120 not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, 02:18.120 --> 02:21.140 I would not look toward thee, nor see thee. 02:21.780 --> 02:23.400 But now bring me a minstrel. 02:24.240 --> 02:27.980 And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the Lord came 02:27.980 --> 02:28.460 upon him. 02:28.900 --> 02:33.940 And he said, Thus saith the Lord, make this valley full of ditches. 02:34.720 --> 02:40.060 For thus saith the Lord, ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain. 02:40.460 --> 02:44.980 Yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, 02:45.320 --> 02:47.320 and your cattle, and your beasts. 02:47.320 --> 02:51.020 And this is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord. 02:51.540 --> 02:54.600 He will deliver the Moabites also into your hand. 02:55.300 --> 03:00.900 And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell 03:00.900 --> 03:07.120 every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land 03:07.120 --> 03:08.080 with stones. 03:08.520 --> 03:11.740 And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, 03:11.740 --> 03:16.840 that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with 03:16.840 --> 03:17.180 water. 03:18.080 --> 03:21.500 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, 03:21.920 --> 03:25.680 they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the 03:25.680 --> 03:25.900 border. 03:26.380 --> 03:29.880 And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water. 03:30.320 --> 03:34.120 And the Moabites saw the water on the other side, as red as blood. 03:34.540 --> 03:36.180 And they said, This is blood. 03:36.660 --> 03:39.880 The kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another. 03:39.880 --> 03:42.180 Now therefore, Moab, to the spoil. 03:42.600 --> 03:46.680 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the 03:46.680 --> 03:49.000 Moabites, so that they fled before them. 03:49.420 --> 03:52.640 But they went forward, smiting the Moabites, even in their country. 03:53.260 --> 03:57.300 And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every 03:57.300 --> 03:59.220 man his stone, and filled it. 03:59.740 --> 04:04.040 And they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees. 04:04.040 --> 04:07.220 Only in Kiheraseth left they the stones thereof. 04:08.020 --> 04:10.860 Howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it. 04:11.320 --> 04:15.080 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with 04:15.080 --> 04:19.120 him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even unto the king of 04:19.120 --> 04:19.460 Edom. 04:19.920 --> 04:20.760 But they could not. 04:21.380 --> 04:25.760 Then he took his eldest son, that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him 04:25.760 --> 04:27.480 for a burnt offering upon the wall. 04:27.480 --> 04:31.800 And there was great indignation against Israel, and they departed from him, 04:32.320 --> 04:33.820 and returned to their own land.
