Elisha Prophesies Victory

13

Elisha, however, said to the king of Israel, “What have we to do with each other? Go to the prophets of your father and of your mother!” “No,” replied the king of Israel, “for it is the LORD who has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”

14

Then Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not for my regard for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you or acknowledge you.

15

But now, bring me a harpist.” And while the harpist played, the hand of the LORD came upon Elisha

16

and he said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Dig this valley full of ditches.’

17

For the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind or rain, but the valley will be filled with water, and you will drink—you and your cattle and your animals.’

18

This is a simple matter in the sight of the LORD, and He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.

19

And you shall attack every fortified city and every city of importance. You shall cut down every good tree, stop up every spring, and ruin every good field with stones.”
