1Jehoram, Ahab's kid, starts ruling Israel in Samaria when Jehoshaphat's king of Judah, and he’s on the throne for twelve years.

2He was lowkey evil, but not like his fam; he ditched the Baal statue his dad made.

3But he still vibed with the sins of Jeroboam, so Israel kept trippin’ on that.

4Mesha, the king of Moab, was a sheep boss and gave the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and rams, with mad wool.

5Then Ahab kicked the bucket, and the king of Moab was like, “Nah, I’m out,” and rebelled against Israel.

6King Jehoram dipped out of Samaria and counted up all of Israel.

7He hit up Jehoshaphat, saying, "Moab's acting sus, wanna roll with me to battle?" Jehoshaphat was like, "Bet, I’m down. We’re tight, my crew’s your crew."

8Jehoram asked, "Which way we rolling?" and Jehoshaphat said, "Let’s go through the wilderness of Edom."

9So the kings of Israel, Judah, and Edom rolled out together, but after seven days, they were out of water for the squad and their livestock.

10And the king of Israel was like, "Fr, the Lord brought these three kings together just to hand us over to Moab?"

11But Jehoshaphat was like, "Ain't there a prophet in the house? We need to vibe with the Lord." One of the king of Israel's crew said, "Yo, there's Elisha, Shaphat's son, who used to pour water on Elijah's hands."

12Jehoshaphat was all, "The word of the Lord is lit with him." So the king of Israel, Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom rolled down to him.

13Elisha was like, "What’s good, king of Israel? Go hit up your fam's prophets." But the king was like, "Nah, the Lord brought these three kings together to hand them over to Moab."

14Elisha said, "As the Lord of hosts lives, I’m only looking at you because Jehoshaphat's here, otherwise you’d be sus to me."

15But he was like, "Yo, bring me a musician." And when the music popped off, the hand of the Lord hit him.

16He said, "The Lord’s got a message: fill this valley with ditches."

17'Cause the Lord said, "You won’t see wind or rain, but this valley's gonna be filled with water for you, your cattle, and your crew."

18And this is a light flex for the Lord: He'll also hand over the Moabites to you.

19You’ll take down every fortified city, every choice spot, chop down all the good trees, block all the wells, and mess up the land with stones.

20And in the morning, when the meat offering dropped, water showed up from Edom, and the whole place was flooded.

21When all the Moabites heard the kings were rolling up to fight, they gathered everyone who could throw on some armor and stood ready at the border.

22They woke up mad early, and the sun was shining on the water, making it look all red like blood on the other side.

23They were like, "This is blood! The kings must've gone savage and taken each other out. Moab, let's get that loot!"

24When they hit the Israelite camp, the Israelites popped off and took down the Moabites, making them bounce outta there, but they kept smiting them even in their own land.

25They wrecked the cities, threw stones on every good piece of land, filled it up, stopped up all the wells, and cut down all the good trees; only in Kir-haraseth did they leave the stones, but the slingers circled it and took it down.

26When the king of Moab saw the battle was too lit for him, he took 700 sword-wielding homies to break through to the king of Edom, but no cap, they couldn’t make it.

27Then he took his oldest son, the one who was supposed to take over, and offered him as a burnt sacrifice on the wall. There was major drama against Israel, and they dipped back to their own land.

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

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

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

4And 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.

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

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

7And 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.

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

9So 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 host, and for the cattle that followed them.

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

11But Jehoshaphat 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 Israel’s servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.

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

13And 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 the Lord hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.

14And Elisha said, As the Lord of hosts 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.

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

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

17For thus saith the Lord, 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.

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

19And 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.

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

21And 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.

22And 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:

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

24And 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.

25And 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.

26And 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.

27Then 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.
