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.

Jorán, rey de Israel
3 Entonces Jorán hijo de Acab gobernó como rey de Israel en Samaria. Comenzó a reinar durante el año 18 del reinado de Josafat, rey de Judá. Jorán gobernó durante doce años. 2 Lo que él hacía no le agradaba al SEÑOR. Sin embargo, no fue tan malo como su papá y como su mamá, porque quitó el pilar que había hecho su papá para adorar a Baal. 3 En eso estuvo bien, pero cometió los mismos pecados de Jeroboán hijo de Nabat que fueron motivo para que los israelitas pecaran.
Moab se rebela contra Israel
4 Mesá, rey de Moab, era ganadero y tenía muchas ovejas. Le daba al rey de Israel 100 000 corderos y 100 000 ovejas con su lana. 5 Pero cuando murió Acab, el rey de Moab se rebeló contra el rey de Israel. 6 Entonces Jorán salió de Samaria habiendo reunido a todos los hombres de Israel. 7 Jorán mandó llamar a Josafat, rey de Judá, y le dijo:
—El rey de Moab se ha rebelado contra mí. ¿Irás conmigo a luchar contra Moab?
Josafat respondió:
—Sí, yo iré contigo. Mis soldados y mis caballos están tan dispuestos como los tuyos.
8 Josafat le preguntó a Jorán:
—¿Por cuál camino iremos?
Jorán le contestó:
—Iremos por el desierto de Edom.
9 Así que el rey de Israel salió junto con los reyes de Judá y de Edom. Pero como tuvieron que dar un rodeo por el desierto que duró unos siete días, no hubo suficiente agua para el ejército ni para los animales. 10 Finalmente el rey de Israel dijo:
—¡Ay, pues! El SEÑOR trajo a estos tres reyes al desierto para entregarnos en manos de los moabitas.
11 Pero Josafat le dijo:
—Seguramente uno de los profetas del SEÑOR está aquí, preguntémosle qué dice el SEÑOR.
Uno de los siervos del rey de Israel dijo:
—Eliseo hijo de Safat y siervo de Elías está aquí.
12 Josafat dijo:
—¡La palabra del SEÑOR está con Eliseo!
Así que el rey de Israel, Josafat y el rey de Edom fueron a ver a Eliseo.
13 Eliseo le dijo al rey de Israel:
—¿Qué tiene usted que ver conmigo? ¡Vaya y consulte a los profetas de su papá y de su mamá!
El rey de Israel le dijo a Eliseo:
—Dime si es cierto que el SEÑOR nos juntó a nosotros tres para entregarnos a los moabitas.
14 Eliseo dijo:
—Yo respeto a Josafat, rey de Judá, y sirvo al SEÑOR Todopoderoso. Tan cierto como que Dios existe, que vine aquí solo por Josafat. Si no fuera por él, no te haría caso, ni siquiera te miraría. 15 Ahora, llamen a alguien que toque el arpa.
Cuando el músico comenzó a tocar la música, el poder[a] del SEÑOR comenzó a operar por medio de Eliseo. 16 Entonces Eliseo dijo:
—Esto dice el SEÑOR: “Caven pozos por todo este valle”. 17 Así dice el SEÑOR: “No verán viento ni lluvia; sin embargo, el valle se llenará de agua y entonces ustedes, su ganado y sus otros animales tendrán agua para beber. 18 Y todo eso es poco a los ojos del SEÑOR, quien además entregará a Moab en manos de ustedes. 19 Atacarán todas las ciudades fortificadas e importantes, cortarán todos los árboles buenos, taparán todos los pozos de agua y arruinarán toda la tierra arable con piedras”.
20 Al día siguiente a la hora del sacrificio matutino, comenzó a correr agua desde Edom y llenó todo el valle.
21 Los moabitas escucharon que los reyes habían salido para pelear con ellos. Por eso reunieron a todos los hombres en edad de cumplir el servicio militar y esperaron en la frontera. 22 Cuando los moabitas se levantaron a la madrugada, salió el sol y el reflejo del agua parecía sangre. 23 Los moabitas dijeron: «¡Miren, sangre! Los reyes debieron haberse atacado entre sí y haberse destruido. Ahora todo lo suyo será nuestro botín de guerra».
24 Los moabitas se acercaron al campamento israelita, pero los israelitas contraatacaron y los moabitas huyeron. Entonces los israelitas persiguieron a los moabitas y acabaron con ellos. 25 Destruyeron sus ciudades, tiraron piedras en la tierra de cultivo, taparon los pozos de agua y cortaron todos los buenos árboles. Siguieron peleando por todo el país, rodearon a Quir Jaréset y atacaron la ciudad.
26 El rey de Moab vio que la batalla iba de mal en peor, así que tomó a 700 hombres con espadas para abrir una brecha y atentar contra el rey de Edom, pero fracasó. 27 Entonces el rey de Moab tomó a su hijo mayor, el heredero del trono, y lo ofreció como un sacrificio que debe quemarse completamente. Hubo tanta ira contra los israelitas que abandonaron el ataque y regresaron a su país.

Joram postaje kralj Izraela
3 Joram, Ahabov sin, postao je izraelski kralj u Samariji, u osamnaestoj godini vladavine judejskoga kralja Jošafata. Kraljevao je dvanaest godina. 2 Griješio je pred BOGOM, ali ipak ne toliko kao njegov otac i majka jer je uklonio Baalov kip koji je bio postavio njegov otac. 3 No uporno je griješio na isti način kao Jeroboam[a], Nebatov sin, što je i Izraelce poticalo na grijeh. Joram nije odstupio od Jeroboamovih grijeha.
4 Moapski je kralj Meša uzgajao ovce i snabdijevao izraelskoga kralja sa stotinu tisuća janjaca i vunom od stotinu tisuća ovnova. 5 No kad je Ahab umro, moapski kralj pobunio se protiv izraelskoga kralja.
6 Tada je kralj Joram izašao iz Samarije i okupio cijeli Izrael. 7 Poslao je poruku judejskom kralju Jošafatu: »Moapski kralj pobunio se protiv moje vlasti. Ideš li sa mnom u borbu protiv Moaba?«
»Idem«, odgovorio je Jošafat. »Idem s tobom. Moji će se ljudi boriti uz tvoje, moji će konji biti uz tvoje konje.«
8 Upitao je: »Kojim ćemo putem ići?«
A Joram mu je odgovorio: »Kroz Edomsku pustinju.«
Trojica kraljeva kod proroka Elizeja
9 Tako je izraelski kralj krenuo s judejskim i edomskim kraljem. Nakon sedam dana hoda obilaznim putem, više nije bilo vode ni za ljude ni za životinje.
10 »Jao!« povikao je izraelski kralj. »BOG je pozvao nas trojicu kraljeva samo zato da bi nas predao u ruke Moapcima?«
11 A Jošafat je upitao: »Ima li ovdje neki Božji prorok, da preko njega upitamo BOGA za savjet?«
Jedan od službenika izraelskoga kralja odgovori: »Ovdje je Elizej, Šafatov sin, koji je bio Ilijin pomoćnik.«[b]
12 Jošafat je potvrdio: »BOŽJA riječ je s njim.«
Tako su izraelski kralj Jošafat i kralj Edoma otišli k Elizeju.
13 Elizej je rekao izraelskom kralju: »Što želiš od mene? Idi k prorocima svog oca i majke.«
»Ne«, odgovorio mu je izraelski kralj, »BOG je okupio nas trojicu kraljeva da nas preda u ruke Moapcima.«
14 A Elizej reče: »Zaklinjem se BOGU Svevladaru, kojem služim, da ne poštujem Jošafata, kralja Jude, tebe ne bih niti pogledao. 15 A sad, dovedite mi svirača.«
I dok je svirač prebirao po žicama, BOŽJA je sila sišla na Elizeja 16 i on je rekao: »Ovako govori BOG: ‘Iskopajte mnogo jaraka u ovoj dolini.’ 17 Jer, BOG vam poručuje: ‘Nećete vidjeti ni vjetar ni kišu, a ipak će se ova dolina ispuniti vodom pa ćete piti i vi i vaše životinje.’ 18 BOGU je to moguće. Pomoći će vam da pobijedite Moapce. 19 Zauzet ćete svaki utvrđeni grad i svako važnije naselje. Sasjeći ćete svako dobro drvo, zatrpati sve izvore vode i zasuti kamenjem svako dobro polje.«
Sukob Moabaca i Izraelaca
20 Sljedećeg je jutra, u vrijeme prinošenja žrtve, navrla voda iz pravca Edoma i sve preplavila.
21 Moapci su čuli da su kraljevi došli ratovati protiv njih. Svi, koji su mogli ponijeti bojno oružje, od najmlađeg do najstarijeg, pozvani su i raspoređeni po granici. 22 Kad su ustali rano ujutro, sunce je obasjavalo vodu. Moapcima se voda u zoru učinila crvena poput krvi.
23 »To je krv!« rekli su. »Mora da su se kraljevi potukli među sobom i pobili. A sad, Moapci, pokupimo plijen!«
24 No kad su stigli u izraelski tabor, Izraelci su ustali i napali ih. Moapci su bježali, a Izraelci su ih progonili i ubijali. 25 Razorili su moapske gradove i sva dobra polja zasuli kamenjem. Zatrpali su sve izvore vode i posjekli svako dobro drvo. Ostale su još samo zidine Kir Hareseta, ali ljudi, naoružani praćkama, opkolili su grad i osvojili ga.
26 Kad je moapski kralj vidio da gubi, krenuo je sa sedamsto ljudi naoružanih mačevima u proboj do edomskoga kralja. No nije im uspjelo. 27 Tada je uzeo svoga najstarijeg sina nasljednika i prinio ga kao žrtvu paljenicu na gradskim zidinama. Izraelci su bili užasnuti pa su se povukli i vratili u svoju zemlju.

2 Kings 3
King James Version
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.
