2 Kings 3:4-8

Living Bible

⁴ King Mesha of Moab and his people were sheep ranchers. They paid Israel an annual tribute of 100,000 lambs and the wool of 100,000 rams; ⁵ but after Ahab’s death, the king of Moab rebelled against Israel. ^6-8 So King Joram mustered the Israeli army and sent this message to King Jehoshaphat of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you help me fight him?”

“Of course I will,” Jehoshaphat replied. “My people and horses are yours to command. What are your battle plans?”

“We’ll attack from the wilderness of Edom,” Joram replied.
