2 Kings 3:16 In-Context

14 Elisha said, "As ADONAI-Tzva'ot lives, before whom I stand, if I didn't respect the fact that Y'hoshafat the king of Y'hudah is here, I wouldn't even look in your direction or take notice of you.

15 But now, bring me a musician." As the musician played, the hand of ADONAI fell on Elisha;

16 and he said, "ADONAI says to dig until this valley is full of trenches.

17 For here is what ADONAI says: 'You won't see wind, and you won't see rain. Nevertheless the valley will be filled with water; and you will drink - you, your cattle and your other animals.

18 That's an easy thing to do, from ADONAI's perspective. He will also hand Mo'av over to you.
