3 Nevertheless his deveykus was unto the chattot Yarov`am Ben Nevat, which caused Yisroel to sin; therefrom he did not turn away.
4 And Mesha Melech Moav was a sheep breeder, and rendered unto the Melech Yisroel 100,000 lambs, and 100,000 rams, with the tzemer (wool).
5 But it came to pass, when Ach'av was mot, that Melech Moav rebelled against Melech Yisroel.
6 And Melech Yehoram went out of Shomron on that day, and mustered kol Yisroel.
7 And he went and sent to Yehoshaphat Melech Yehudah, saying, Melech Moav hath rebelled against me; wilt thou go with me against Moav for milchamah? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my Am as thy Am, and my susim as thy susim.
8 And he said, Which derech shall we go up [to attack]? And he answered, The derech through the Midbar Edom.
9 So Melech Yisroel, Melech Yehudah, Melech Edom went, made a circuit of shivat yamim in their derech; and there was no mayim for the machaneh, and for the behemah that followed them.
