20. Sure enough, the next morning, at the time of the morning sacrifice, water came flowing down from Edom and filled the land.
21. Now all Moab had heard that the kings were attacking, so everyone old enough to fight was mustered and placed at the border.
22. When they got up early the next morning, the sun was shining on the water. To the Moabites, who were some distance away, the water looked red like blood.
23. The Moabites said, “It’s blood! The kings are totally destroyed! They have struck one another down! Now, Moab, seize the plunder!”
24. When they approached the Israelite camp, the Israelites rose up and struck down the Moabites, who then ran from them. The Israelites thoroughly defeated Moab.
