18 This is easy in the Lord's sight. He will also hand Moab over to you.

2 Kings 3:18 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 3:18

And this is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord
To give them such a plenty of water in such an extraordinary manner: he would do for them what was greater, not only save them from falling into the hand of Moab, which they feared,

but he wilt deliver the Moabites into your hands;
which was more than was asked for, or expected.

2 Kings 3:18 In-Context

16 Then he said, "This is what the Lord says: 'Dig ditch after ditch in this wadi.'
17 For the Lord says, 'You will not see wind or rain, but the wadi will be filled with water, and you will drink-you and your cattle and your animals.'
18 This is easy in the Lord's sight. He will also hand Moab over to you.
19 Then you must attack every fortified city and every choice city. You must cut down every good tree and stop up every spring of water. You must ruin every good piece of land with stones."
20 About the time for the grain offering the [next] morning, water suddenly came from the direction of Edom and filled the land.
