2 Kings 3:12-14
New English Translation

12 Jehoshaphat said, “Yes, he receives the Lord’s messages.”[a] So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to visit him.

13 Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Why are you here?[b] Go to your father’s prophets or your mother’s prophets!” The king of Israel replied to him, “No, for the Lord is the one who summoned these three kings so that he can hand them over to Moab.” 14 Elisha said, “As certainly as the Lord of Heaven’s Armies[c] lives (whom I serve),[d] if I did not respect King Jehoshaphat of Judah,[e] I would not pay attention to you or acknowledge you.[f]
