12:003:015 But now bring me a minstrel.  And it came to pass, when the
           minstrel played, that the hand of the lord came upon him.

12:003:016 And he said, Thus saith the lord, Make this valley full of
           ditches.

12:003:017 For thus saith the lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall
           ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that
           ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.

12:003:018 And this is but a light thing in the sight of the lord:  he
           will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.

12:003:019 And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city,
           and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water,
           and mar every good piece of land with stones.

12:003:020 And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was
           offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom,
           and the country was filled with water.

12:003:021 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to
           fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on
           armour, and upward, and stood in the border.

12:003:022 And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon
           the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as
           red as blood: 

12:003:023 And they said, This is blood:  the kings are surely slain, and
           they have smitten one another:  now therefore, Moab, to the
           spoil.

12:003:024 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose
           up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them:  but
           they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.

12:003:025 And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land
           cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all
           the wells of water, and felled all the good trees:  only in
           Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers
           went about it, and smote it.

12:003:026 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for
           him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to
           break through even unto the king of Edom:  but they could not.

12:003:027 Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his
           stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall.  And
           there was great indignation against Israel:  and they departed
           from him, and returned to their own land.

12:004:001 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of
           the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is
           dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the lord:  and
           the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be
           bondmen.
