2 Kings 3:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ And he sent to Josaphat king of Juda, saying: The king of Moab is revolted from me, come with me against him to battle. And he answered: I will come up: he that is mine, is thine: my people, thy people: and my horses, thy horses.

⁸ And he said: Which way shall we go up? But he answered: By the desert of Edom.

⁹ So the king of Israel, and the king of Juda, and the king of Edom went, and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey, and there was no water for the army, and for the beasts, that followed them.
