Melachim Bais 3:16 In-Context

14 And Elishah said, As Hashem Tzva’os liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Yehoshaphat Melech Yehudah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.

15 But now bring me menagen. And it came to pass, when the menagen played, that the Yad Hashem came upon him.

16 And he said, Thus saith Hashem, Make this valley full of ditches.

17 For thus saith Hashem, Ye shall not see ruach, neither shall ye see geshem; yet this valley shall be filled with mayim, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your behemah (livestock).
