5. But when Ahab died, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6. So King Jehoram marched out of Samaria at that time and mustered all Israel.
7. And he went and sent word to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to battle against Moab?” And he said, “I will go. I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.”
8. Then he said, “By which way shall we march?” Jehoram answered, “By the way of the wilderness of Edom.”
9. So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom. And when they had made a circuitous march of seven days, there was no water for the army or for the animals that followed them.
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.
