2 Kings 3:24-26

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁴ So the Moabites arrived at the camp of the Israelite army. Then Israel's soldiers attacked the Moabites. The Moabites ran away back to their own land. The Israelites chased them and they completely destroyed them. ²⁵ They destroyed the Moabites' towns. Each Israelite soldier threw a stone onto all the good fields, until they covered them with stones. They filled the springs so that they gave no water. They cut down all the good trees.

Only the city of Kir-Hareseth was still there with its stone walls.^[a] But the Israelite soldiers stood all around the city. They attacked it with stones from their slings. ²⁶ The king of Moab realized that he was not winning the battle. So he took 700 of his soldiers who had swords. They tried to attack their enemies and reach the king of Edom. But they failed to do that.
