2╦╔ 3:2 ┴ND HE WROUGHT EVIL IN THE SIGHT OF THE ╠╧╥─; BUT NOT LIKE HIS FATHER, AND LIKE HIS MOTHER: FOR HE PUT AWAY THE IMAGE OF ┬AAL THAT HIS FATHER HAD MADE.
2╦╔ 3:3 ╬EVERTHELESS HE CLEAVED UNTO THE SINS OF ╩EROBOAM THE SON OF ╬EBAT, WHICH MADE ╔SRAEL TO SIN; HE DEPARTED NOT THEREFROM.
2╦╔ 3:4 ┴ND ═ESHA KING OF ═OAB WAS A SHEEPMASTER, AND RENDERED UNTO THE KING OF ╔SRAEL AN HUNDRED THOUSAND LAMBS, AND AN HUNDRED THOUSAND RAMS, WITH THE WOOL.

2╦╔ 3:8 ┴ND HE SAID, ╫HICH WAY SHALL WE GO UP? ┴ND HE ANSWERED, ╘HE WAY THROUGH THE WILDERNESS OF ┼DOM.
2╦╔ 3:9 ╙O THE KING OF ╔SRAEL WENT, AND THE KING OF ╩UDAH, AND THE KING OF ┼DOM: AND THEY FETCHED A COMPASS OF SEVEN DAYS' JOURNEY: AND THERE WAS NO WATER FOR THE HOST, AND FOR THE CATTLE THAT FOLLOWED THEM.
2╦╔ 3:10 ┴ND THE KING OF ╔SRAEL SAID, ┴LAS! THAT THE ╠╧╥─ HATH CALLED THESE THREE KINGS TOGETHER, TO DELIVER THEM INTO THE HAND OF ═OAB!
2╦╔ 3:11 ┬UT ╩EHOSHAPHAT SAID, ╔S THERE NOT HERE A PROPHET OF THE ╠╧╥─, THAT WE MAY ENQUIRE OF THE ╠╧╥─ BY HIM? ┴ND ONE OF THE KING OF ╔SRAEL'S SERVANTS ANSWERED AND SAID, ╚ERE IS ┼LISHA THE SON OF ╙HAPHAT, WHICH POURED WATER ON THE HANDS OF ┼LIJAH.
2╦╔ 3:12 ┴ND ╩EHOSHAPHAT SAID, ╘HE WORD OF THE ╠╧╥─ IS WITH HIM. ╙O THE KING OF ╔SRAEL AND ╩EHOSHAPHAT AND THE KING OF ┼DOM WENT DOWN TO HIM.
2╦╔ 3:13 ┴ND ┼LISHA SAID UNTO THE KING OF ╔SRAEL, ╫HAT HAVE ╔ TO DO WITH THEE? GET THEE TO THE PROPHETS OF THY FATHER, AND TO THE PROPHETS OF THY MOTHER. ┴ND THE KING OF ╔SRAEL SAID UNTO HIM, ╬AY: FOR THE ╠╧╥─ HATH CALLED THESE THREE KINGS TOGETHER, TO DELIVER THEM INTO THE HAND OF ═OAB.
2╦╔ 3:14 ┴ND ┼LISHA SAID, ┴S THE ╠╧╥─ OF HOSTS LIVETH, BEFORE WHOM ╔ STAND, SURELY, WERE IT NOT THAT ╔ REGARD THE PRESENCE OF ╩EHOSHAPHAT THE KING OF ╩UDAH, ╔ WOULD NOT LOOK TOWARD THEE, NOR SEE THEE.
2╦╔ 3:15 ┬UT NOW BRING ME A MINSTREL. ┴ND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN THE MINSTREL PLAYED, THAT THE HAND OF THE ╠╧╥─ CAME UPON HIM.
2╦╔ 3:16 ┴ND HE SAID, ╘HUS SAITH THE ╠╧╥─, ═AKE THIS VALLEY FULL OF DITCHES.
2╦╔ 3:17 ╞OR THUS SAITH THE ╠╧╥─, ┘E SHALL NOT SEE WIND, NEITHER SHALL YE SEE RAIN; YET THAT VALLEY SHALL BE FILLED WITH WATER, THAT YE MAY DRINK, BOTH YE, AND YOUR CATTLE, AND YOUR BEASTS.
2╦╔ 3:18 ┴ND THIS IS BUT A LIGHT THING IN THE SIGHT OF THE ╠╧╥─: HE WILL DELIVER THE ═OABITES ALSO INTO YOUR HAND.
2╦╔ 3:19 ┴ND YE SHALL SMITE EVERY FENCED CITY, AND EVERY CHOICE CITY, AND SHALL FELL EVERY GOOD TREE, AND STOP ALL WELLS OF WATER, AND MAR EVERY GOOD PIECE OF LAND WITH STONES.
2╦╔ 3:20 ┴ND IT CAME TO PASS IN THE MORNING, WHEN THE MEAT OFFERING WAS OFFERED, THAT, BEHOLD, THERE CAME WATER BY THE WAY OF ┼DOM, AND THE COUNTRY WAS FILLED WITH WATER.
2╦╔ 3:21 ┴ND WHEN ALL THE ═OABITES HEARD THAT THE KINGS WERE COME UP TO FIGHT AGAINST THEM, THEY GATHERED ALL THAT WERE ABLE TO PUT ON ARMOUR, AND UPWARD, AND STOOD IN THE BORDER.
2╦╔ 3:22 ┴ND THEY ROSE UP EARLY IN THE MORNING, AND THE SUN SHONE U ON THE WATER, AND THE ═OABITES SAW THE WATER ON THE OTHER SIDE AS RED AS BLOOD:
2╦╔ 3:23 ┴ND THEY SAID, ╘HIS IS BLOOD: THE KINGS ARE SURELY SLAIN, AND THEY HAVE SMITTEN ONE ANOTHER: NOW THEREFORE, ═OAB, TO THE SPOIL.
2╦╔ 3:24 ┴ND WHEN THEY CAME TO THE CAMP OF ╔SRAEL, THE ╔SRAELITES ROSE UP AND SMOTE THE ═OABITES, SO THAT THEY FLED BEFORE THEM: BUT THEY WENT FORWARD SMITING THE ═OABITES, EVEN IN THEIR COUNTRY.
2╦╔ 3:25 ┴ND THEY BEAT DOWN THE CITIES, AND ON EVERY GOOD PIECE OF LAND CAST EVERY MAN HIS STONE, AND FILLED IT; AND THEY STOPPED ALL THE WELLS OF WATER, AND FELLED ALL THE GOOD TREES: ONLY IN ╦IRHARASETH LEFT THEY THE STONES THEREOF; HOWBEIT THE SLINGERS WENT ABOUT IT, AND SMOTE IT.
2╦╔ 3:26 ┴ND WHEN THE KING OF ═OAB SAW THAT THE BATTLE WAS TOO SORE FOR HIM, HE TOOK WITH HIM SEVEN HUNDRED MEN THAT DREW SWORDS, TO BREAK THROUGH EVEN UNTO THE KING OF ┼DOM: BUT THEY COULD NOT.
2╦╔ 3:27 ╘HEN HE TOOK HIS ELDEST SON THAT SHOULD HAVE REIGNED IN HIS STEAD, AND OFFERED HIM FOR A BURNT OFFERING UPON THE WALL. ┴ND THERE WAS GREAT INDIGNATION AGAINST ╔SRAEL: AND THEY DEPARTED FROM HIM, AND RETURNED TO THEIR OWN LAND.
