Young's Literal Translation
Now
Jehoram the
son of Ahab began
to
reign
over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned
twelve years .
And
Jehoram son of Ahab hath
reigned
over Israel ,
in Samaria ,
in
the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he
reigneth
twelve years ,
And 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 .
and doth
the
evil thing
in the eyes
of Jehovah,
only
not like his father, and like his mother ,
and
he turneth
aside
the standing-pillar
of Baal that his father made ;
Nevertheless
he
cleaved
unto
the sins of Jeroboam the
son of Nebat ,
which
made
Israel to sin ;
he departed
not therefrom
.
only
to
the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that
he
caused
Israel to sin he hath
cleaved,
he
hath
not turned
aside
from
it
.
And 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 .
And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master
, and he
rendered to
the king of Israel a
hundred thousand lambs, and a
hundred thousand rams, `
with '
wool ,
But
it came
to pass ,
when
Ahab was
dead
, that the king of Moab rebelled
against the king of Israel.
and
it cometh
to pass at
the
death
of
Ahab, that the king of Moab transgresseth
against the king of Israel.
And king Jehoram went
out of
Samaria the
same
time
, and numbered
all Israel .
And king Jehoram goeth
out in
that
day
from
Samaria, and inspecteth
all Israel ,
And 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.
and goeth
and sendeth
unto
Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, `
The king of Moab hath transgressed
against me ;
dost
thou go with me unto
Moab for
battle? '
and he saith
, `
I go up ,
as I
, so
thou;
as
my people ,
so
thy people ;
as
my horses ,
so
thy horses.
And he said
, Which
way shall
we go up? And he answered
, The way through
the wilderness of Edom.
And he saith
, `Where
`is'
this
--
the
way we go up? '
and he saith
, `
The way of
the wilderness of Edom. '
So
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.
And
the king of Israel goeth
, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom ,
and they turn
round
the
way
seven days ,
and there hath
been
no water for the camp
, and for the cattle that `are'
at
their
feet,
And the king of Israel said
, Alas !
that
the
LORD
hath called these three kings together
, to deliver
them into the hand of Moab !
and the king of Israel saith
, `
Alas ,
for
Jehovah
hath called for
these three kings, to give
them into the hand of Moab .'
But
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.
And
Jehoshaphat saith
, `
Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah
, and
we seek
Jehovah
by him? '
And one of the servants
of
the
king of Israel
answereth
and saith
, `
Here `
is '
Elisha son of Shaphat, who
poured water on the hands of Elijah. '
And 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
.
And Jehoshaphat saith
, `
The word of Jehovah
is with him ;'
and
go
down
unto
him
do
the king of Israel ,
and Jehoshaphat ,
and the king of Edom.
And 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.
And Elisha saith
unto the king of Israel, `
What --
to me
and
to
thee? go
unto
the prophets of thy father, and unto
the prophets of thy mother ;'
and the king of Israel saith
to
him, `
Nay ,
for Jehovah
hath called for
these three kings to give
them into the hand of Moab. '
And 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 .
And Elisha saith
, `Jehovah
of Hosts liveth, before whom I have
stood;
for
unless
the face
of Jehoshaphat king of Judah I
am
lifting
up
, I do
not look unto
thee, nor see thee ;
But
now bring me a minstrel .
And it came
to
pass
, when
the minstrel played
, that the hand of the
LORD
came
upon
him .
and
now ,
bring to
me a minstrel ;
and it hath
been
, at
the playing
of
the
minstrel, that the hand of Jehovah
is
on
him ,
And he said
, Thus saith
the
LORD
, Make this valley full
of
ditches .
and he saith
, `
Thus said
Jehovah
, Make this valley ditches --
ditches;
For 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.
for thus said
Jehovah
, Ye do
not see wind, nor
do
ye see rain ,
and
that valley is
full
of
water, and
ye have
drunk
--
ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
And this is
but
a
light thing
in the sight
of the
LORD:
he will
deliver
the
Moabites
also
into your hand .
`
And this hath
been
light in the eyes
of Jehovah,
and
he hath
given
Moab
into your hand ,
And 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.
and ye have
smitten
every fenced city, and every choice city, and every good tree ye
cause
to
fall
, and all fountains
of waters
ye
stop
, and every good portion
ye
mar
with stones. '
And 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.
And it cometh
to pass in the morning, at
the ascending
of
the
`morning'-present
, that lo
, waters
are
coming
in
from
the way of Edom, and the land
is
filled with the
waters,
And when
all the
Moabites
heard that the kings were
come up to fight against them, they gathered
all
that
were
able
to
put
on
armor
, and upward, and stood
in
the border.
and all Moab
have
heard that the kings have
come up to fight against them, and
they are
called
together
, from
every
one
girding
on
a
girdle
and upward, and they
stand
by
the border.
And 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 :
And they rise
early in the morning, and the sun hath
shone on
the waters
, and the Moabites see,
from
over-against,
the waters
red as blood ,
And they
said
, This is blood:
the kings are
surely slain
, and they have
smitten
one
another:
now therefore
, Moab ,
to
the
spoil.
and say
, `Blood
this `
is ';
the kings have
been
surely destroyed
, and they smite
each
his
neighbour;
and
now for
spoil
, Moab !'
And 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.
And they come
in
unto
the camp of Israel, and
the Israelites rise,
and smite
the Moabites, and
they flee
from
their
face;
and
they enter
into
Moab
, so
as
to
smite
Moab,
And 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
Kirharaseth
left
they the
stones thereof;
howbeit
the slingers went
about
it,
and smote
it.
and the cities they
break
down
, and `
on '
every good portion
they
cast each
his stone, and have
filled it ,
and every
fountain
of water they
stop
, and every
good tree
they cause
to
fall
--
till
one
had
left
its
stones in
Kir-Haraseth,
and
the slingers go
round
and smite
it.
And 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 .
And the king of Moab seeth
that the battle has
been
too strong
for him, and
he taketh
with him seven hundred men, drawing
sword,
to cleave
through unto the king of Edom ,
and
they have
not been
able,
Then
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.
and
he taketh
his son ,
the
first-born
who
reigneth
in his stead, and causeth
him to
ascend
--
a burnt -
offering on
the wall ,
and there is
great wrath
against Israel ,
and they journey
from off
him, and turn
back
to the
land.
