15 Now get me a musician.”As the musician played his harp, the power of the Lord came on Elisha,
16 and he said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Dig ditches all over this dry stream bed.
17 Even though you will not see any rain or wind, this stream bed will be filled with water, and you, your livestock, and your pack animals will have plenty to drink.’ ”
18 And Elisha continued, “But this is an easy thing for the Lord to do; he will also give you victory over the Moabites.
19 You will conquer all their beautiful fortified cities; you will cut down all their fruit trees, stop all their springs, and ruin all their fertile fields by covering them with stones.”
20 The next morning, at the time of the regular morning sacrifice, water came flowing from the direction of Edom, and covered the ground.
21 When the Moabites heard that the three kings had come to attack them, all the men who could bear arms, from the oldest to the youngest, were called out and stationed at the border.
