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.

17 For thus says the LORD, 'You shall not see wind or rain, but that stream-bed shall be filled with water, so that you shall drink, you, your cattle, and your beasts.'

18 This is a light thing in the sight of the LORD; he will also give the Moabites into your hand,

19 and you shall conquer every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop up all springs of water, and ruin every good piece of land with stones."
