2 Kings 3:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹ Jehoshaphat said, “Which of the Lord's prophets is with us? We can find out from him what the Lord wants us to do.”

One of Joram's officers answered, “Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He was one of Elijah's closest followers.”

¹² Jehoshaphat replied, “He can give us the Lord's message.”

The three kings went over to Elisha, ¹³ and he asked Joram, “Why did you come to me? Go talk to the prophets of the foreign gods your parents worshiped.”^[a]

“No,” Joram answered. “It was the Lord who led us out here, so that Moab's army could capture us.”
