y3212
z8799
x1980
with

mee against

Moab
4124

4421
and he said,
559
z8799
I will goe vp:
5927
z8799
I am as thou art, my people
5971
as thy people,
5971
[and] my horses
5483
as thy horses.

4264
and for the cattell
929
that

3:10
And the king
4428
of Israel
3478
said,
559
z8799
Alas,
162
that
x3588
the LORD
3068
hath called
7121
z0
these

three
7969
kings
4428
together,
y7121
z8804
to deliuer
5414
z8800
them into the hand

4124

3:11
But Iehoshaphat
3092
said,
559
z8799
[Is] there not
x369
here
x6311
a Prophet
5030
of the LORD,
3068
that we may enquire
1875
z8799
of
x853
the LORD
3068
by
x4480
x854
him? And one
259
of the king
4428
of Israels
y3478
seruants
5650
x4480
x3478
answered,
6030
z8799
and said,
559
z8799
Here
x6311
[is] Elisha
477
the sonne
1121
of Shaphat,
8202
which
x834
powred
3332
z8804
water
4325
on
x5921
the hands
3027
of Eliiah.
452

3:12
And Iehoshaphat
3092
saide,
559
z8799
The word
1697
of the LORD
3068
is
3426
with
x854
him. So the king
4428
of Israel,
3478
& Iehoshaphat,
3092
and the king
4428
of Edom
123
went downe
3381
z8799
to
x413
him.

3:13
And Elisha
477
saide
559
z8799
vnto
x413
the king
4428
of Israel,
3478
What
x4100
haue I to doe with thee? Get
y3212
z8798
x1980
thee to
x413
the prophets
5030
of thy father,
1
and to
x413
the prophets
5030
of thy mother.
517
And the king
4428
of Israel
3478
said
559
z8799
vnto him, Nay:
x408
for
x3588
the LORD
3068
hath called
7121
z0
these
x428
three
7969
kings
4428
together,
y7121
z8804
to deliuer
5414
z8800
them into the hand
3027
of Moab.
4124

3:14
And Elisha
477
said,
559
z8799
As the LORD
3068
of hostes
6635
liueth,
2416
before
6440
whom
x834
I stand,
5975
z8804
Surely
x3588
were it not
x3884
that
y3884
I
x589
regard
5375
z8802
the presence
6440
of Iehoshaphat
3092
the King
4428
of Iudah,
3063
I would not looke
5027
z8686
toward
x413
thee, nor
x518
see
7200
z8799
thee.

3:15
But now
x6258
bring
3947
z8798
me a minstrell.
5059
z8764
And it came to passe
x1961
when the minstrell
5059
z8764
played,
5059
z8763
that the hand
3027
of the LORD
3068
came
x1961
vpon
x5921
him.

3:16
And hee sayde,
559
z8799
Thus
x3541
sayth
559
z8804
the LORD,
3068
Make
6213
z8800
this
x2088
valley
5158
full of ditches.
1356

3:17
For
x3588
thus
x3541
sayth
559
z8804
the LORD,
3068
Yee shall not
x3808
see
7200
z8799
winde,
7307
neither
x3808
shall ye see
7200
z8799
raine,
1653
yet that
x1931
valley
5158
shall be filled
4390
z8735
with water,
4325
that ye may drinke,
8354
z8804
both ye,
x859
and your cattell,
4735
and your beasts.
929

3:18
And this
x2063
is but a light thing
7043
z8738
in the sight
5869
of the LORD,
3068
he will deliuer
5414
z8804
x853
the Moabites
4124
also into your hand.
3027

3:19
And ye shall smite
5221
z8689
euery
x3605
fenced
4013
citie,
5892
and euery
x3605
choice
4004
citie,
5892
and shall fell
5307
z8686

6086
and stop
5640

and marre
3510
z8686
euery
x3605
good
2896
piece
y2513
of land
x2513
with stones.

3:20
And it came to passe
x1961
in the morning
1242
when the meate offering
4503

5927
z8800
that behold,
x2009
there came
935
z8802

4325
by the way
1870

of Edom,
123
and the countrey
776
was filled
4390
z8735
with
x854
water.
4325

3:21 ¶
And when all
x3605
the Moabites
4124

8085
z8804
that
x3588
the kings
4428
were come vp
5927
z8804
to fight
3898
z8736
against them, they gathered
y6817
z8735
all
x6817
x4480
x3605
that were able to put
y2296
z8802
on

2290
and vpward,
4605
and stood
5975
z8799
in
x5921
the border.
1366

3:22
And they rose vp early
7925
z8686
in the morning,
1242
and the Sunne
8121
shone
2224
z8804
vpon

4325
and the Moabites
4124
sawe
7200
z8799
x853
the water
4325
on the other side
5048
x4480
as red
122
as blood.
1818

3:23
And they said,
559
z8799
This
x2088
[is] blood:
1818
the kings
4428
are surely
y2717
z8715
slaine,
2717
z8738
and they haue smitten
5221
z8686
x853

376
another:
7453
now
x6258
therefore, Moab,
4124
to the spoile.
7998

3:24
And when they came
935
z8799
to

the campe
4264
of Israel,
3478
the Israelites
3478
rose vp

z8799
and smote

z8686
x853
the Moabites,
4124
so that they fledde

y5221
z8686
smiting
5221
z8687
x853
the Moabites,
4124
euen in [their] countrey.

3:25
And they beat downe

68
and filled

4325
and felled

123
but they could

x3808

3:27
Then hee tooke

1121
that

x8478
and offered

2346
and there was

3478
and they departed
5265
z8799
from

him, and returned
7725
z8799
to their owne land.
776
