1 Jehoram, son of Ahab, was king of Israel in Samaria. He was king 12 years, when Jehoshaphat was king of Judah. 2 Jehoram did bad to God, but not as bad as his dad and mom. He took away a Baal stone. 3 But he still did wrong like Jeroboam. He did not stop. ❌ 4 Mesha, king of Moab, had many sheep. He sent many lambs and much wool to the king of Israel. 5 When Ahab died, Moab said no and fought Israel. ✋⚔️ 6 King Jehoram left Samaria and got all the men of Israel to go with him. ️ 7 He sent to King Jehoshaphat of Judah, “Will you come with me?” Jehoshaphat said, “Yes, I am with you.” 8 They asked, “Which way?” They chose the desert way by Edom. ️ 9 The king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom went. After 7 days, there was no water for the men or the animals. ♂️♂️♂️❌ 10 The king of Israel said, “Oh no! God called us here to give us to Moab!” 11 Jehoshaphat said, “Is there a man of God here?” A helper said, “Elisha is here. He helped Elijah.” ♂️ 12 Jehoshaphat said, “God speaks to him.” The three kings went to Elisha. ♂️♂️♂️ 13 Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Why come to me? Go to your dad’s and mom’s gods.” The king said, “No. God called us here to be given to Moab.” ️ 14 Elisha said, “As God lives, I will help because I respect King Jehoshaphat.” ✋ 15 Elisha said, “Bring a music man.” The man played, and God helped Elisha speak. 16 Elisha said, “God says: Make this valley full of big holes.” ️️️ 17 “Elisha said: You will not see wind. You will not see rain. But the valley will fill with water for you and your animals.” 18 “This is easy for God. God will also help you beat Moab.” ✨ 19 “You will break strong towns, cut good trees, stop springs, and throw stones on good fields.” ⛲ 20 Next morning, at the time for a grain gift, water came from Edom. The land was full of water. 21 Moab heard the kings came to fight. All men who could fight stood at the border. ⚔️ 22 They got up early. The sun shone on the water. Moab saw the water look red, like blood. ☀️ 23 They said, “That is blood! The kings fought each other. Come, Moab! Take things!” ️ 24 Moab came to the camp. Israel got up and hit Moab. Moab ran. Israel chased and hit them. ️⚔️♂️ 25 Israel broke towns, threw stones on fields, shut springs, and cut good trees. Only Kir-hareseth was left. Men with slings stood around it and hit it. ⛲✂️ 26 The king of Moab saw the fight was too hard. He took 700 men with swords to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not. ⚔️7️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ 27 He did a very bad, sad thing. He burned his first son on the wall. Then great anger came on Israel. Israel left and went home.
