2 Kings 3:23-25

Good News Translation

²³ “It's blood!” they exclaimed. “The three enemy armies must have fought and killed each other! Let's go and loot their camp!”

²⁴ But when they reached the camp, the Israelites attacked them and drove them back. The Israelites kept up the pursuit,^[a] slaughtering the Moabites ²⁵ and destroying their cities. As they passed by a fertile field, every Israelite would throw a stone on it until finally all the fields were covered; they also stopped up the springs and cut down the fruit trees. At last only the capital city of Kir Heres^[b] was left, and the slingers surrounded it and attacked it.
