2 Kings 3:9-11

The Message

⁹ The king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom started out on what proved to be a looping detour. After seven days they had run out of water for both army and animals.

¹⁰ The king of Israel said, “Bad news! God has gotten us three kings out here to dump us into the hand of Moab.”

¹¹ But Jehoshaphat said, “Isn’t there a prophet of God anywhere around through whom we can consult God?”

One of the servants of the king of Israel said, “Elisha son of Shaphat is around somewhere—the one who was Elijah’s right-hand man.”
