2 Kings 3:13-17 Common English Bible (CEB)

13. Elisha said to Israel’s king, "What do we have to do with each other? Go to your father’s or mother’s prophets."Then Israel’s king said to him, "Don’t say that, because it is the Lord who has brought us three kings together—but only to hand us over to Moab!"

14. Elisha said, "I swear by the life of the Lord of heavenly forces, the one I stand before and serve, if I didn’t care about Judah’s King Jehoshaphat, I wouldn’t notice you or even look at you!

15. Now bring me a musician." While the musician played, the Lord’s power came over Elisha.

16. He said, "This is what the Lord says: This valley will be filled with pools.

17. This is what the Lord says: You won’t see any wind or rain, but that valley will be full of water. Then you’ll be able to drink—you, your cattle, and your animals.
