이스라엘의 9대 왕 요람
3 유다의 여호사밧왕 18년에 아합의 아들 [a]요람이 이스라엘 왕이 되어 사마리아 에서 12년을 통치하였다.
2 그는 여호와께 악을 행하였으나 자기 부모처럼 악하지는 않았다. 이것은 자기 아버지가 만든 바알의 기둥 우상들을 그가 제거하였기 때문이었다.
3 그러나 그는 이스라엘 백성을 죄의 길로 인도한 느밧의 아들 여로보암을 그대로 본받아 범죄하고 거기서 떠나지 못하였다.
4 모압의 메사왕은 양을 길러 해마다 새끼 양 10만 마리와 그리고 숫양 10만 마리의 털을 이스라엘 왕에게 조공으로 바쳤는데
5 아합왕이 죽자 그는 이스라엘에 반기를 들었다.
6 그래서 요람왕은 즉시 사마리아에서 나가 모든 병력을 소집하고
7 유다의 여호사밧왕에게 “모압 왕이 나를 배반하였습니다. 당신은 나와 함께 가서 모압을 치시겠습니까?” 라는 전갈을 보냈다. 그러자 여호사밧왕은 이런 회답을 보냈다. “내가 싸우러 가겠습니다. 내 백성과 말들도 당신의 지휘를 받도록 하겠습니다.
8 그런데 우리가 어느 길로 공격을 해야 하겠습니까?” 그러자 요람은 “에돔 광야 길로 가서 공격하려고 합니다” 라는 전갈을 다시 보냈다.
9 그래서 이스라엘 왕과 유다 왕은 에돔 왕과 함께 모압을 치려고 나섰다. 그들이 광야 길을 돌아 7일 동안 진군했을 때 사람과 가축이 먹을 물이 떨어졌다.
10 그때 요람왕이 “어떻게 하면 좋단 말인가! 여호와께서 우리 세 왕을 모압 왕의 손에 넘겨 주시려고 이 곳까지 불러내셨구나!” 하고 외쳤다.
11 그러나 여호사밧왕은 “우리가 여호와께 물어 볼 예언자가 여기에 없습니까?” 하고 물었다. 그러자 요람왕의 신하 한 사람이 “사밧의 아들 엘리사라는 사람이 있는데 그는 엘리야의 제자입니다” 하고 대답하였다.
12 그때 여호사밧왕이 “그는 여호와의 말씀을 선포하는 진실한 예언자입니다” 하였다. 그러고서 그 세 왕은 엘리사에게 내려갔다.
13 엘리사는 이스라엘 왕을 보고 이렇게 말하였다. “내가 당신과 무슨 상관이 있습니까? 당신 부모의 예언자들에게 가서 물어 보십시오.” “아니오. 우리가 당신을 찾아온 것은 여호와께서 우리 세 왕을 불러모아 모압 왕의 손에 넘겨 주려고 하시기 때문이오.”
14 “내가 섬기는 살아 계신 여호와의 이름으로 맹세하지만 유다의 여호사밧왕만 아니었더라면 내가 당신을 쳐다보지도 않았을 것입니다.
15 이제 거문고 타는 사람을 하나 불러 주십시오.” 거문고 타는 자가 거문고를 탈 때 엘리사는 여호와의 감동을 받아
16 이렇게 말하였다. “여호와께서는 이 마른 골짜기에 도랑을 많이 파라고 하셨으며
17 당신들이 바람과 비를 보지 못해도 이 골짜기에 물이 가득 차서 당신들과 당신들의 짐승이 마시게 될 것이라고 말씀하셨습니다.
18 이런 일은 여호와께서 보시기에 아무것도 아닙니다. 여호와께서는 모압 사람들을 당신들에게 넘겨 주실 것이며
19 당신들은 요새화된 그들의 좋은 성을 정복하고 좋은 나무들을 모두 베고 샘을 다 메울 것이며 모든 옥토에 돌을 던져 못 쓰게 할 것입니다.”
20 다음날 아침 제사 드릴 시간이 되었을 때 에돔 쪽에서 물이 흘러들어오지 않겠는가! 그러자 순식간에 그 일대가 물로 가득 찼다.
21 모압 사람들은 그 세 왕들이 올라와서 자기들을 치려고 한다는 말을 듣고 젊은 자나 늙은 자나 무기를 들 수 있는 사람은 모조리 소집하여 국경 지대에 배치하였다.
22 그들이 다음날 아침에 일어났을 때 해가 물에 비치고 있었으나 모압 사람들에게는 그 물이 마치 피처럼 보였다.
23 그러자 그들은 “이것이 피가 아니냐! 저 왕들이 자기들끼리 싸워 서로 죽인 것이 틀림없다! 자, 가서 그들의 진지를 약탈하자!” 하고 외쳤다.
24 그러나 그들이 이스라엘 진지에 이르렀을 때 이스라엘군이 달려나와 그들을 치자 모압군은 도주하였다. 그래서 이스라엘군은 그들을 추격하며 모압 땅으로 들어가서 닥치는 대로 죽이고
25 성을 파괴하며 모든 옥토에 돌을 던져 못쓰게 하고 모든 샘을 메우며 좋은 나무들을 베어 버렸다. 그리고 마지막으로 길 – 하레셋만 남았는데 투석병들이 그 성을 포위하고 공격하였다.
26 모압 왕은 전세가 불리한 것을 보고 칼을 찬 자기 부하 700명과 함께 적진을 뚫고 에돔 왕이 있는 쪽으로 탈출하려고 하였으나 실패하였다.
27 그러자 그는 자기 뒤를 이어 왕이 될 맏아들을 잡아다가 성벽 위에서 불로 태워 모압 신에게 제사를 드렸다. 이것을 본 이스라엘 연합군들은 [b]자기들에게 내릴 재앙을 생각하고 두려워 그 성에서 물러나와 모두 자기 나라로 돌아갔다.

Moab Revolts
3 Joram[a](A) son of Ahab became king of Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and he reigned twelve years. 2 He did evil(B) in the eyes of the Lord, but not as his father(C) and mother had done. He got rid of the sacred stone(D) of Baal that his father had made. 3 Nevertheless he clung to the sins(E) of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he had caused Israel to commit; he did not turn away from them.
4 Now Mesha king of Moab(F) raised sheep, and he had to pay the king of Israel a tribute of a hundred thousand lambs(G) and the wool of a hundred thousand rams. 5 But after Ahab died, the king of Moab rebelled(H) against the king of Israel. 6 So at that time King Joram set out from Samaria and mobilized all Israel. 7 He also sent this message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight(I) against Moab?”
“I will go with you,” he replied. “I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
8 “By what route shall we attack?” he asked.
“Through the Desert of Edom,” he answered.
9 So the king of Israel set out with the king of Judah and the king of Edom.(J) After a roundabout march of seven days, the army had no more water for themselves or for the animals with them.
10 “What!” exclaimed the king of Israel. “Has the Lord called us three kings together only to deliver us into the hands of Moab?”
11 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of the Lord here, through whom we may inquire(K) of the Lord?”
An officer of the king of Israel answered, “Elisha(L) son of Shaphat is here. He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah.[b](M)”
12 Jehoshaphat said, “The word(N) of the Lord is with him.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13 Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Why do you want to involve me? Go to the prophets of your father and the prophets of your mother.”
“No,” the king of Israel answered, “because it was the Lord who called us three kings together to deliver us into the hands of Moab.”
14 Elisha said, “As surely as the Lord Almighty lives, whom I serve, if I did not have respect for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not pay any attention to you. 15 But now bring me a harpist.”(O)
While the harpist was playing, the hand(P) of the Lord came on Elisha 16 and he said, “This is what the Lord says: I will fill this valley with pools of water. 17 For this is what the Lord says: You will see neither wind nor rain, yet this valley will be filled with water,(Q) and you, your cattle and your other animals will drink. 18 This is an easy(R) thing in the eyes of the Lord; he will also deliver Moab into your hands. 19 You will overthrow every fortified city and every major town. You will cut down every good tree, stop up all the springs, and ruin every good field with stones.”
20 The next morning, about the time(S) for offering the sacrifice, there it was—water flowing from the direction of Edom! And the land was filled with water.(T)
21 Now all the Moabites had heard that the kings had come to fight against them; so every man, young and old, who could bear arms was called up and stationed on the border. 22 When they got up early in the morning, the sun was shining on the water. To the Moabites across the way, the water looked red—like blood. 23 “That’s blood!” they said. “Those kings must have fought and slaughtered each other. Now to the plunder, Moab!”
24 But when the Moabites came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and fought them until they fled. And the Israelites invaded the land and slaughtered the Moabites. 25 They destroyed the towns, and each man threw a stone on every good field until it was covered. They stopped up all the springs and cut down every good tree. Only Kir Hareseth(U) was left with its stones in place, but men armed with slings surrounded it and attacked it.
26 When the king of Moab saw that the battle had gone against him, he took with him seven hundred swordsmen to break through to the king of Edom, but they failed. 27 Then he took his firstborn(V) son, who was to succeed him as king, and offered him as a sacrifice on the city wall. The fury against Israel was great; they withdrew and returned to their own land.

Moab Rebels Against Israel
3 (A)In the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Ahab became king over Israel in Samaria, and he reigned twelve years. 2 He did what was evil in the sight of the Lord, though not like his father and mother, for he put away the (B)pillar of Baal (C)that his father had made. 3 Nevertheless, he clung to (D)the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, (E)which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart from it.
4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, (F)and he had to deliver to the king of Israel 100,000 lambs and the wool of 100,000 rams. 5 But (G)when Ahab died, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel. 6 So King Jehoram marched out of Samaria at that time and mustered all Israel. 7 And he went and sent word to Jehoshaphat king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to battle against Moab?” And he said, “I will go. (H)I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.” 8 Then he said, “By which way shall we march?” Jehoram answered, “By the way of the wilderness of Edom.”
9 So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and (I)the king of Edom. And when they had made a circuitous march of seven days, there was no water for the army or for the animals that followed them. 10 Then the king of Israel said, “Alas! (J)The Lord has called these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.” 11 (K)And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there no prophet of the Lord here, through whom we may inquire of the Lord?” Then one of the king of Israel's servants answered, (L)“Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, (M)who poured water on the hands of Elijah.” 12 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.
13 And Elisha said to the king of Israel, (N)“What have I to do with you? Go to (O)the prophets of your father and to (P)the prophets of your mother.” But the king of Israel said to him, “No; it is (Q)the Lord who has called these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab.” 14 And Elisha said, (R)“As the Lord of hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not that I have regard for Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would neither look at you nor see you. 15 But now (S)bring me a musician.” And when the musician played, (T)the hand of the Lord came upon him. 16 And he said, “Thus says the Lord, ‘I will make this dry streambed full of pools.’ 17 For thus says the Lord, ‘You shall not see wind or rain, but that streambed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink, you, your livestock, and your animals.’ 18 This is a light thing in the sight of the Lord. He will also give the Moabites into your hand, 19 and you shall attack every fortified city and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree and stop up all springs of water (U)and ruin every good piece of land with stones.” 20 The next morning, about the time of (V)offering the sacrifice, behold, water came from the direction of Edom, till the country was filled with water.
21 When all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, all who were able to put on armor, from the youngest to the oldest, were called out and were drawn up at the border. 22 And when they rose early in the morning and the sun shone on the water, the Moabites saw the water opposite them as red as blood. 23 And they said, “This is blood; the kings have surely fought together and struck one another down. Now then, Moab, to the spoil!” 24 But when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose and struck the Moabites, till they fled before them. And they went forward, striking the Moabites as they went.[a] 25 And they overthrew the cities, and (W)on every good piece of land every man threw a stone until it was covered. They stopped every spring of water and felled all the good trees, till only its stones were left in (X)Kir-hareseth, and the slingers surrounded and attacked it. 26 When the king of Moab saw that the battle was going against him, he took with him 700 (Y)swordsmen to break through, opposite the king of Edom, but they could not. 27 Then he took his oldest son who was to reign in his place (Z)and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. And there came great wrath against Israel. And they withdrew from him and returned to their own land.

2 Kings 3
King James Version
3 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.
2 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.
3 Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
4 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.
5 But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
7 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.
8 And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.
9 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.
10 And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the Lord hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
11 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.
12 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.
13 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.
14 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.
15 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him.
16 And he said, Thus saith the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches.
17 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.
18 And this is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
19 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.
20 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.
21 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 armour, and upward, and stood in the border.
22 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:
23 And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
24 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.
25 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.
26 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.
27 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.
