1. The kings of Israel, Judah, and Edom joined forces to attack Moab but ran out of water in the wilderness. They called upon the prophet Elisha for help. 2. Elisha told them God would fill the valley with water and also deliver the Moabites into their hands. They dug ditches as instructed and God provided water, though there was no wind or rain. 3. The next morning, the Moabites saw the water across from them as red as blood, assuming their enemies had killed each other. When they went to plunder the camp, the Israelite army defeated them soundly as God had promised.

2. 2
The kings of Israel, of Judah,
and Edom were moving
across the wilderness of
Edom to attack the Moabites,
and they ran out of water.

3. 3
The kings sent for Elisha
so that they could hear
from The Lord God.
“What shall we do?”

4. 4
2 Kings 3:16 And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Make
this valley full of ditches. 17 For thus saith the
LORD, Ye 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. 18 And this is but a light thing in the Sight of
the LORD: He will deliver the Moabites also into
your hand.
That which is impossible for man is but a
light thing for the Lord.
Not only would God supply water, but He would
also grant them victory over the Moabites.

5. 5
We can do all that God wants us to do –
By His Grace and in His Power.

We can do all that God wants us to do –
By His Grace and in His Power.

7. 7
19 And 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.
20 And it came to pass in the
morning, when the meat
offering was offered, that,
behold, there came water by
the way of Edom, and the
country was filled with water.

8. 8
They obediently dug the
ditches, and God sent the
water.
With obedience comes
blessing from the Lord.

9. 9
21 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings
were come up to fight against them, they gathered
all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and
stood in the border. 22 And they rose up early in the
morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the
Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as
blood:
The sunrise made it all
look red.

10. 10
23 And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely
slain, and they have smitten one another: now
therefore, Moab, to the spoil. 24 And when they
came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up
and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before
them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites,
even in their country.
What God wants done will be done.

11. 11
25 And 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 Kirharaseth left they the
stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it,
and smote it.
Utter destruction of the
enemy.

12. 12
26 And when the king of Moab 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 Edom: but they could not.
27 Then he took his eldest son that should have
reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt
offering upon the wall. And there was great
indignation against Israel: and they departed from
him, and returned to their own land.

13. 13
The Israelites were so disgusted that they left the
field of battle and went home.
Even the Israelites had some standards;
When the king of the Moabites killed his son
as a sacrifice to their god, Israel left that place.

14. 14
Judah was very angry with Israel
for the whole situation.
But who had gotten them into it?
2 Kings 3 7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat
the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath
rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against
Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as
thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as
thy horses.

15. 15
God has taught His people to remain separate from
unbelievers and backsliders, and remain always
faithful unto our God.
Why does that seem to be so hard to do?
It should not be so.

16. 16
We serve The True and Living
God, and there is no other.
Our brothers and sisters in Christ are true and
loyal, when the world flees the battlefield.
VICTORY
