King James Version (KJV) With Strong Codes

1. Now Jehoram[H3088] the son[H1121] of Ahab[H256] began to reign[H4427] over[H5921] Israel[H3478] in Samaria[H8111] the eighteenth[H8083] [H6240] year[H8141] of Jehoshaphat[H3092] king[H4428] of Judah,[H3063] and reigned[H4427] twelve[H8147] [H6240] years.[H8141]

2. And he wrought[H6213] evil[H7451] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD;[H3068] but[H7535] not[H3808] like his father,[H1] and like his mother:[H517] for he put away[H5493] [H853] the image[H4676] of Baal[H1168] that[H834] his father[H1] had made.[H6213]

3. Nevertheless[H7535] he cleaved[H1692] unto the sins[H2403] of Jeroboam[H3379] the son[H1121] of Nebat,[H5028] which[H834] made[H853] Israel[H3478] to sin;[H2398] he departed[H5493] not[H3808] therefrom.[H4480]

4. And Mesha[H4338] king[H4428] of Moab[H4124] was[H1961] a sheepmaster,[H5349] and rendered[H7725] unto the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] a hundred[H3967] thousand[H505] lambs,[H3733] and a hundred[H3967] thousand[H505] rams,[H352] with the wool.[H6785]

5. But it came to pass,[H1961] when Ahab[H256] was dead,[H4194] that the king[H4428] of Moab[H4124] rebelled[H6586] against the king[H4428] of Israel.[H3478]

6. And king[H4428] Jehoram[H3088] went out[H3318] of Samaria[H4480] [H8111] the same[H1931] time,[H3117] and numbered[H6485] [H853] all[H3605] Israel.[H3478]

7. And he went[H1980] and sent[H7971] to[H413] Jehoshaphat[H3092] the king[H4428] of Judah,[H3063] saying,[H559] The king[H4428] of Moab[H4124] hath rebelled[H6586] against me: wilt thou go[H1980] with[H854] me against[H413] Moab[H4124] to battle?[H4421] And he said,[H559] I will go up:[H5927] I am as thou art, my people[H5971] as thy people,[H5971] and my horses[H5483] as thy horses.[H5483]

8. And he said,[H559] Which[H335] [H2088] way[H1870] shall we go up?[H5927] And he answered,[H559] The way[H1870] through the wilderness[H4057] of Edom.[H123]

9. So the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] went,[H1980] and the king[H4428] of Judah,[H3063] and the king[H4428] of Edom:[H123] and they fetched a compass[H5437] of seven[H7651] days'[H3117] journey:[H1870] and there was[H1961] no[H3808] water[H4325] for the host,[H4264] and for the cattle[H929] that[H834] followed[H7272] them.

10. And the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] said,[H559] Alas![H162] that[H3588] the LORD[H3068] hath called[H7121] these[H428] three[H7969] kings[H4428] together, to deliver[H5414] them into the hand[H3027] of Moab![H4124]

11. But Jehoshaphat[H3092] said,[H559] Is there not[H369] here[H6311] a prophet[H5030] of the LORD,[H3068] that we may inquire[H1875] of[H853] the LORD[H3068] by[H4480] [H854] him? And one[H259] of the king[H4428] of Israel's servants[H4480] [H5650] [H3478] answered[H6030] and said,[H559] Here[H6311] is Elisha[H477] the son[H1121] of Shaphat,[H8202] which[H834] poured[H3332] water[H4325] on[H5921] the hands[H3027] of Elijah.[H452]

12. And Jehoshaphat[H3092] said,[H559] The word[H1697] of the LORD[H3068] is[H3426] with[H854] him. So the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] and Jehoshaphat[H3092] and the king[H4428] of Edom[H123] went down[H3381] to[H413] him.

13. And Elisha[H477] said[H559] unto[H413] the king[H4428] of Israel,[H3478] What[H4100] have I to do with thee? get[H1980] thee to[H413] the prophets[H5030] of thy father,[H1] and to[H413] the prophets[H5030] of thy mother.[H517] And the king[H4428] of Israel[H3478] said[H559] unto him, Nay:[H408] for[H3588] the LORD[H3068] hath called[H7121] these[H428] three[H7969] kings[H4428] together, to deliver[H5414] them into the hand[H3027] of Moab.[H4124]

14. And Elisha[H477] said,[H559] As the LORD[H3068] of hosts[H6635] liveth,[H2416] before[H6440] whom[H834] I stand,[H5975] surely,[H3588] were it not[H3884] that I[H589] regard[H5375] the presence[H6440] of Jehoshaphat[H3092] the king[H4428] of Judah,[H3063] I would not look[H5027] toward[H413] thee, nor[H518] see[H7200] thee.

15. But now[H6258] bring[H3947] me a minstrel.[H5059] And it came to pass,[H1961] when the minstrel[H5059] played,[H5059] that the hand[H3027] of the LORD[H3068] came[H1961] upon[H5921] him.

16. And he said,[H559] Thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD,[H3068] Make[H6213] this[H2088] valley[H5158] full of ditches.[H1356] [H1356]

17. For[H3588] thus[H3541] saith[H559] the LORD,[H3068] Ye shall not[H3808] see[H7200] wind,[H7307] neither[H3808] shall ye see[H7200] rain;[H1653] yet that[H1931] valley[H5158] shall be filled[H4390] with water,[H4325] that ye may drink,[H8354] both ye,[H859] and your cattle,[H4735] and your beasts.[H929]

18. And this[H2063] is but a light thing[H7043] in the sight[H5869] of the LORD:[H3068] he will deliver[H5414] [H853] the Moabites[H4124] also into your hand.[H3027]

19. And ye shall smite[H5221] every[H3605] fenced[H4013] city,[H5892] and every[H3605] choice[H4004] city,[H5892] and shall fell[H5307] every[H3605] good[H2896] tree,[H6086] and stop[H5640] all[H3605] wells[H4599] of water,[H4325] and mar[H3510] every[H3605] good[H2896] piece of land[H2513] with stones.[H68]

20. And it came to pass[H1961] in the morning,[H1242] when the meat offering[H4503] was offered,[H5927] that, behold,[H2009] there came[H935] water[H4325] by the way[H4480] [H1870] of Edom,[H123] and the country[H776] was filled[H4390] with[H854] water.[H4325]

21. And when all[H3605] the Moabites[H4124] heard[H8085] that[H3588] the kings[H4428] were come up[H5927] to fight[H3898] against them, they gathered all[H6817] [H4480] [H3605] that were able to put on[H2296] armor,[H2290] and upward,[H4605] and stood[H5975] in[H5921] the border.[H1366]

22. And they rose up early[H7925] in the morning,[H1242] and the sun[H8121] shone[H2224] upon[H5921] the water,[H4325] and the Moabites[H4124] saw[H7200] [H853] the water[H4325] on the other side[H4480] [H5048] as red[H122] as blood: [H1818]

23. And they said,[H559] This[H2088] is blood:[H1818] the kings[H4428] are surely slain,[H2717] [H2717] and they have smitten[H5221] [H853] one[H376] another:[H7453] now[H6258] therefore, Moab,[H4124] to the spoil.[H7998]

24. And when they came[H935] to[H413] the camp[H4264] of Israel,[H3478] the Israelites[H3478] rose up[H6965] and smote[H5221] [H853] the Moabites,[H4124] so that they fled[H5127] before[H4480] [H6440] them: but they went[H5221] forward smiting[H5221] [H853] the Moabites,[H4124] even in their country.

25. And they beat down[H2040] the cities,[H5892] and on every[H3605] good[H2896] piece[H2513] of land cast[H7993] every man[H376] his stone,[H68] and filled[H4390] it; and they stopped[H5640] all[H3605] the wells[H4599] of water,[H4325] and felled[H5307] all[H3605] the good[H2896] trees:[H6086] only[H5704] in Kir-haraseth[H7025] left[H7604] they the stones[H68] thereof; howbeit the slingers[H7051] went about[H5437] it, and smote[H5221] it.

26. And when the king[H4428] of Moab[H4124] saw[H7200] that[H3588] the battle[H4421] was too sore[H2388] for[H4480] him, he took[H3947] with[H854] him seven[H7651] hundred[H3967] men[H376] that drew[H8025] swords,[H2719] to break through[H1234] even unto[H413] the king[H4428] of Edom:[H123] but they could[H3201] not.[H3808]

27. Then he took[H3947] [H853] his eldest[H1060] son[H1121] that[H834] should have reigned[H4427] in his stead,[H8478] and offered[H5927] him for a burnt offering[H5930] upon[H5921] the wall.[H2346] And there was[H1961] great[H1419] indignation[H7110] against[H5921] Israel:[H3478] and they departed[H5265] from[H4480] [H5921] him, and returned[H7725] to their own land.[H776]
