2 Kings 3:12-14

Living Bible

¹² “Fine,” Jehoshaphat said. “He’s just the man we want.”^[a] So the kings of Israel, Judah, and Edom went to consult Elisha.

¹³ “I want no part of you,” Elisha snarled at King Joram of Israel. “Go to the false prophets of your father and mother!”

But King Joram replied, “No! For it is the Lord who has called us here to be destroyed by the king of Moab!”

¹⁴ “I swear by the Lord God that I wouldn’t bother with you except for the presence of King Jehoshaphat of Judah,” Elisha replied.
