2 Kings 3:7-9

Good News Translation

⁷ He sent word to King Jehoshaphat of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me; will you join me in war against him?”

“I will,” King Jehoshaphat replied. “I am at your disposal, and so are my men and my horses. ⁸ What route shall we take for the attack?”

“We will go the long way through the wilderness of Edom,” Joram answered.

⁹ So King Joram and the kings of Judah and Edom set out. After marching seven days, they ran out of water, and there was none left for the men or the pack animals.
