2 Kings 3:21-24 New Century Version (NCV)

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.

23. Then they said, “This is blood! The kings must have fought and killed each other! Come, Moabites, let’s take the valuables from the dead bodies!”

24. When the Moabites came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites came out and fought them until they ran away. Then the Israelites went on into the land, killing the Moabites.
