2 Kings 3:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ As he was going out, he sent this message^[a] to King Jehoshaphat of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight Moab?”

“I’m coming,” Jehoshaphat^[b] replied. “I’m like you! My army will act like your army and my cavalry like your cavalry,” Then Jehoshaphat^[c] added: ⁸ “What road do we take?”

Jehoram^[d] answered, “We’ll go along the Edom desert road.”

⁹ So the king of Israel, the king of Judah, and the king of Edom made a complete circuit on the road for seven days, but there was no water for the army or for the livestock that accompanied^[e] them.
