15. Now bring me someone who plays the harp.”While the harp was being played, the Lord gave Elisha power.
16. Then Elisha said, “The Lord says to dig holes in the valley.
17. The Lord says you won’t see wind or rain, but the valley will be filled with water. Then you, your cattle, and your other animals can drink.
18. This is easy for the Lord to do; he will also hand Moab over to you.
19. You will destroy every strong, walled city and every important town. You will cut down every good tree and stop up all springs. You will ruin every good field with rocks.”
20. The next morning, about the time the sacrifice was offered, water came from the direction of Edom and filled the valley.
21. All the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them. So they gathered everyone old enough to put on armor and waited at the border.
22. But when the Moabites got up early in the morning, the sun was shining on the water. They saw the water across from them, and it looked as red as blood.
