Bible. Kings, 2nd
12:002:021 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the
salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed
these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or
barren land.
12:002:022 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the
saying of Elisha which he spake.
12:002:023 And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up
by the way, there came forth little children out of the city,
and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go
up, thou bald head.
12:002:024 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the
name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of
the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
12:002:025 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he
returned to Samaria.
12:003:001 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in
Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and
reigned twelve years.
12:003:002 And he wrought evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his
father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal
that his father had made.
12:003:003 Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of
Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
12:003:004 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto
the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred
thousand rams, with the wool.
12:003:005 But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab
rebelled against the king of Israel.
12:003:006 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and
numbered all Israel.
12:003:007 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying,
The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with
me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as
thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy
horses.
12:003:008 And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The
way through the wilderness of Edom.
12:003:009 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the
king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days'
journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the
cattle that followed them.
12:003:010 And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD hath called
these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of
Moab!
12:003:011 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD,
that we may enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of
Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of
Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.
