14 Then Elisha (God is salvation) said, “As surely as the LORD {YHWH} of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not for my regard for the presence of Jehoshaphat (YHWH has judged) king of Judah (praised), I would not look at you or acknowledge you. 15 But now, bring me a harpist (a musician). And while the harpist played, the hand of the LORD {YHWH} came upon Elisha 16 and he said, “This is what the LORD {YHWH} says: ‘Dig this valley full of ditches.’ 17 For the LORD {YHWH} says, ‘You⁺ will not see wind {ruach} or rain, but the valley will be filled with water, and you⁺ will drink—you⁺ and your⁺ cattle and your⁺ animals.’ 18 This is a simple matter in the sight of the LORD {YHWH}, and He will also deliver the Moabites (of his father) into your⁺ hand. 19 And you⁺ shall attack every fortified city and every city of importance. You⁺ shall cut down every good tree, stop up every spring, and ruin every good field with stones.” 2 Kings 3:14-19, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
