2 Kings 3:9-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
9
So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and they made a circuit of seven days’ journey. But there was no water for the army or for the cattle that followed them.
10
Then the king of Israel said, 'It is hopeless! For the
Lord
has called these three kings to hand them over to Moab!'
11
But Jehoshaphat said, 'Is there no prophet of the
Lord
here, that we may inquire of the
Lord
by him?' And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, 'Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who used to pour water on the hands of Elijah.'
12
And Jehoshaphat said, 'The word of the
Lord
is with him.' So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13
Now Elisha said to the king of Israel, 'What business do you have with me? Go to your father’s prophets and your mother’s prophets.' But the king of Israel said to him, 'No, for the
Lord
has called these three kings
together
to hand them over to Moab.'
King James Version
Chapter 3
9
So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them.
10
And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the
Lord
hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
11
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the
Lord
, that we may enquire of the
Lord
by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.
12
And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the
Lord
is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13
And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Nay: for the
Lord
hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
9
So the king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom set out. After they had traveled their indirect route for seven days, they had no water for the army or the animals with them.
10
Then the king of Israel said, "Oh no, the
Lord
has summoned these three kings, only to hand them over to Moab."
11
But Jehoshaphat said, "Isn’t there a prophet of the
Lord
here? Let’s inquire of the
Lord
through him." One of the servants of the king of Israel answered, "Elisha son of Shaphat, who used to pour water on Elijah’s hands, is here."
12
Jehoshaphat affirmed, "The word of the
Lord
is with him." So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went to him.
13
However, Elisha said to King Joram of Israel, "What do we have in common? Go to the prophets of your father and your mother!" But the king of Israel replied, "No, because it is the
Lord
who has summoned these three kings to hand them over to Moab."
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
9
The king of Edom and his troops joined them, and all three armies traveled along a roundabout route through the wilderness for seven days. But there was no water for the men or their animals.
10
What should we do?' the king of Israel cried out. 'The
Lord
has brought the three of us here to let the king of Moab defeat us.'
11
But King Jehoshaphat of Judah asked, 'Is there no prophet of the
Lord
with us? If there is, we can ask the
Lord
what to do through him.' One of King Joram’s officers replied, 'Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He used to be Elijah’s personal assistant. '
12
Jehoshaphat said, 'Yes, the
Lord
speaks through him.' So the king of Israel, King Jehoshaphat of Judah, and the king of Edom went to consult with Elisha.
13
Why are you coming to me?' Elisha asked the king of Israel. 'Go to the pagan prophets of your father and mother!' But King Joram of Israel said, 'No! For it was the
Lord
who called us three kings here — only to be defeated by the king of Moab!'

10
Then the king of Israel said, "Alas! The
Lord
has called these three kings to give them into the hand of Moab."
11
And Jehoshaphat said, "Is there no prophet of the
Lord
here, through whom we may inquire of the
Lord
?" Then one of the king of Israel 's servants answered, "Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah."
12
And Jehoshaphat said, "The word of the
Lord
is with him." So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

New International Version
Chapter 3
9
So the king of Israel set out with the king of Judah and the king of Edom. After a roundabout march of seven days, the army had no more water for themselves or for the animals with them.
10
"What!" exclaimed the king of Israel. "Has the
Lord
called us three kings together only to deliver us into the hands of Moab?"
11
But Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there no prophet of the
Lord
here, through whom we may inquire of the
Lord
?" An officer of the king of Israel answered, "Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He used to pour water on the hands of Elijah. "
12
Jehoshaphat said, "The word of the
Lord
is with him." So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13
Elisha said to the king of Israel, "Why do you want to involve me? Go to the prophets of your father and the prophets of your mother." "No," the king of Israel answered, "because it was the
Lord
who called us three kings together to deliver us into the hands of Moab."
