2 Kings 3:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² “He is a true prophet,” King Jehoshaphat said. So the three kings went to Elisha.

¹³ “Why should I help you?” Elisha said to the king of Israel. “Go and consult those prophets that your father and mother consulted.”

“No!” Joram replied. “It is the Lord who has put us three kings at the mercy of the king of Moab.”

¹⁴ Elisha answered, “By the living Lord, whom I serve, I swear that I would have nothing to do with you if I didn't respect your ally, King Jehoshaphat of Judah.
