2 Kings 3:12-14
International Standard Version
12 Jehoshaphat answered, “He receives messages from[a] the Lord.” So the king of Israel, Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom went to visit Elisha.[b]
13 Elisha asked the king of Israel, “What do I have in common[c] with you? Go visit your parents’ prophets.”[d]
The king of Israel replied, “No! The Lord has summoned these three kings so he can hand them over to Moab!”
14 But Elisha responded, “As the Lord of the Heavenly Armies lives, in whose presence I stand, I would never pay attention to you or even look in your direction were it not for my continuous respect for the presence of King Jehoshaphat of Judah.
