Elisha Prophesies Victory

13

Elisha said to the king of Israel, “What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother.” The king of Israel said to him, “No; for the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”

14

Elisha said, “As the LORD of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I respect the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you.

15

But now bring me a minstrel.” When the minstrel played, the hand of the LORD came on him.

16

He said, “Thus says the LORD, ‘Make this valley full of trenches.’

17

For thus says the LORD, ‘You will not see wind, neither will you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and you will drink, both you and your livestock and your animals.

18

This is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD. He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.

19

You shall strike every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.’”
