2 Kings 3:13-22

[13] And Elisha  said  unto the king  of Israel,  thee to the prophets  of thy father,  and to the prophets  of thy mother.  And the king  of Israel  said  unto him, Nay: for the LORD  these three  kings  together,  to deliver  them into the hand  of Moab.  [14] And Elisha  said,  As the LORD  of hosts  liveth,  before  whom I stand,  surely, were it not that  I regard  the presence  of Jehoshaphat  the king  of Judah,  I would not look  toward thee, nor see  [15] But now bring  me a minstrel.  that the hand  of the LORD  came upon him.
