2 Kings 3:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 3:17

For thus saith the Lord, ye shall not see wind, neither shall
ye see the rain
Neither perceive the south wind blow, which usually brings rain, nor clouds gathering in the heavens, as portending it, nor any filling from thence:

yet that valley shall be filled with water;
and all the ditches dug in it:

that ye may drink, both ye and your cattle, and all your beasts;
there would be such a quantity as would be enough for them all, the soldiers, the horses they rode on, and the beasts that drew their wagons.

15 But get me someone to play some music." While the musician was playing, the LORD's power came over Elisha.

16 He said, "This is what the LORD says: Make this valley full of ditches.

17 You will not see wind or rain, but this valley will be filled with water. You, your cattle, and your other animals will drink.

18 The LORD considers that an easy thing to do. In addition, he will put Moab at your mercy.

19 You will defeat every walled city and every important city. You will cut down every good tree, seal all the wells, and use rocks to ruin every good piece of land."
