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 He said, "Thus says Yahweh, 'Make this wadi {full of cisterns},'
17 for thus says Yahweh, 'You will see neither wind nor rain, yet this wadi will be full of water; and you and all of your livestock and your animals shall drink.'
18 And since this is too trivial in the eyes of Yahweh, he will also give Moab into your hand,
19 and you shall defeat every fortified city, every choice city, and you shall fell every good tree. All of the springs of water you shall stop up, and every tract of good land you shall ruin with the stones."
20 It happened in the morning about the time of the [morning] offering, that water was suddenly coming from the direction of Edom and the land was filled with water.
