Verse 2

And he smote{H5221}{(H8686)} Moab{H4124}, and measured{H4058}{(H8762)} them with a line{H2256}, casting them down{H7901}{(H8687)} to the ground{H776}; even with two{H8147} lines{H2256} measured{H4058}{(H8762)} he to put to death{H4191}{(H8687)}, and with one full{H4393} line{H2256} to keep alive{H2421}{(H8687)}. And so the Moabites{H4124} became David's{H1732} servants{H5650}, and brought{H5375}{(H8802)} gifts{H4503}.

And the king{H4428} of Israel{H3478} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto him, Nay: for the LORD{H3068} hath called{H7121} these three{H7969} kings{H4428} together{H7121}{(H8804)}, to deliver{H5414}{(H8800)} them into the hand{H3027} of Moab{H4124}. 14 And Elisha{H477} said{H559}{(H8799)}, As the LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635} liveth{H2416}, before{H6440} whom I stand{H5975}{(H8804)}, surely, were it not that{H3884} I regard{H5375}{(H8802)} the presence{H6440} of Jehoshaphat{H3092} the king{H4428} of Judah{H3063}, I would not look{H5027}{(H8686)} toward thee, nor see{H7200}{(H8799)} thee. 15 But now bring{H3947}{(H8798)} me a minstrel{H5059}{(H8764)}. And it came to pass, when the minstrel{H5059}{(H8764)} played{H5059}{(H8763)}, that the hand{H3027} of the LORD{H3068} came upon him. 16 And he said{H559}{(H8799)}, Thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}, Make{H6213}{(H8800)} this valley{H5158} full of ditches{H1356}. 17 For thus saith{H559}{(H8804)} the LORD{H3068}, Ye shall not see{H7200}{(H8799)} wind{H7307}, neither shall ye see{H7200}{(H8799)} rain{H1653}; yet that valley{H5158} shall be filled{H4390}{(H8735)} with water{H4325}, that ye may drink{H8354}{(H8804)}, both ye, and your cattle{H4735}, and your beasts{H929}. 18 And this is but a light thing{H7043}{(H8738)} in the sight{H5869} of the LORD{H3068}: he will deliver{H5414}{(H8804)} the Moabites{H4124} also into your hand{H3027}. 19 And ye shall smite{H5221}{(H8689)} every fenced{H4013} city{H5892}, and every choice{H4004} city{H5892}, and shall fell{H5307}{(H8686)} every good{H2896} tree{H6086}, and stop{H5640}{(H8799)} all wells{H4599} of water{H4325}, and mar{H3510}{(H8686)} every good{H2896} piece{H2513} of land with stones{H68}. 20 And it came to pass in the morning{H1242}, when the meat offering{H4503} was offered{H5927}{(H8800)}, that, behold, there came{H935}{(H8802)} water{H4325} by the way{H1870} of Edom{H123}, and the country{H776} was filled{H4390}{(H8735)} with water{H4325}. 21 And when all the Moabites{H4124} heard{H8085}{(H8804)} that the kings{H4428} were come up{H5927}{(H8804)} to fight{H3898}{(H8736)} against them, they gathered{H6817}{(H8735)} all that were able to put{H2296}{(H8802)} on armour{H2290}, and upward{H4605}, and stood{H5975}{(H8799)} in the border{H1366}. 22 And they rose up early{H7925}{(H8686)} in the morning{H1242}, and the sun{H8121} shone{H2224}{(H8804)} upon the water{H4325}, and the Moabites{H4124} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} the water{H4325} on the other side{H5048} as red{H122} as blood{H1818}: 23 And they said{H559}{(H8799)}, This is blood{H1818}: the kings{H4428} are surely{H2717}{(H8715)} slain{H2717}{(H8738)}, and they have smitten{H5221}{(H8686)} one{H376} another{H7453}: now therefore, Moab{H4124}, to the spoil{H7998}. 24 And when they came{H935}{(H8799)} to the camp{H4264} of Israel{H3478}, the Israelites{H3478} rose up{H6965}{(H8799)} and smote{H5221}{(H8686)} the Moabites{H4124}, so that they fled{H5127}{(H8799)} before{H6440} them: but they went forward{H5221}{(H8686)} smiting{H5221}{(H8687)} the Moabites{H4124}, even in their country. 25 And they beat down{H2040}{(H8799)} the cities{H5892}, and on every good{H2896} piece{H2513} of land cast{H7993}{(H8686)} every man{H376} his stone{H68}, and filled{H4390}{(H8765)} it; and they stopped{H5640}{(H8799)} all the wells{H4599} of water{H4325}, and felled{H5307}{(H8686)} all the good{H2896} trees{H6086}: only in Kirharaseth{H7025} left{H7604}{(H8689)} they the stones{H68} thereof; howbeit the slingers{H7051} went about{H5437}{(H8799)} it, and smote{H5221}{(H8686)} it. 26 And when the king{H4428} of Moab{H4124} saw{H7200}{(H8799)} that the battle{H4421} was too sore{H2388}{(H8804)} for him, he took{H3947}{(H8799)} with him seven{H7651} hundred{H3967} men{H376} that drew{H8025}{(H8802)} swords{H2719}, to break through{H1234}{(H8687)} even unto the king{H4428} of Edom{H123}: but they could{H3201}{(H8804)} not. 27 Then he took{H3947}{(H8799)} his eldest{H1060} son{H1121} that should have reigned{H4427}{(H8799)} in his stead, and offered{H5927}{(H8686)} him for a burnt offering{H5930} upon the wall{H2346}. And there was great{H1419} indignation{H7110} against Israel{H3478}: and they departed{H5265}{(H8799)} from him, and returned{H7725}{(H8799)} to their own land{H776}.
