2 Kings 3:9-15

[9] So the king  of Israel  and the king  of Judah,  and the king  of Edom:  and they fetched a compass  of seven  days'  journey:  and there was no water  for the host,  and for the cattle  that followed  [10] And the king  of Israel  said,  Alas!  these three  kings  together,  to deliver  them into the hand  of Moab!  [11] But Jehoshaphat  said,  Is there not here a prophet  of the LORD,  that we may enquire  of the LORD  by him? And one  of the king  of Israel's  servants  answered  and said,  Here is Elisha  the son  of Shaphat,  which poured  water  on the hands  of Elijah.  [12] And Jehoshaphat  said,  The word  of the LORD  is  with him. So the king  of Israel  and Jehoshaphat  and the king  of Edom  went down  [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.
