2 Kings 3:25-27

New King James Version

²⁵ Then they destroyed the cities, and each man threw a stone on every good piece of land and filled it; and they stopped up all the springs of water and cut down all the good trees. But they left the stones of ^(A)Kir Haraseth intact. However the slingers surrounded and attacked it.

²⁶ And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not. ²⁷ Then ^(B)he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him as a burnt offering upon the wall; and there was great ^[a]indignation against Israel. ^(C)So they departed from him and returned to their own land.
