2 Kings 3:16-20

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[16] He said, Thus says Yahweh, Make this valley full of trenches. [17] For thus says Yahweh, You shall not see wind, neither shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, and you shall drink, both you and your cattle and your animals. [18] This is but a light thing in the sight of Yahweh: he will also deliver the Moabites into your hand. [19] You shall strike every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all springs of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones. [20] It happened in the morning, about the time of offering the offering, that behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
