13 He took up also the mantle of Eliyahu that fell from
him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the Yarden;
14 And he took the mantle of Eliyahu that fell from him,
and struck the mayim, and said, Where is vuvh Elohim of
Eliyahu? And when he also had struck the mayim, they
parted here and there: and Elisha went over.
15 And when the sons of the neviim who were at Yericho
saw him, they said, The ruach of Eliyahu does rest on
Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed
themselves to the ground before him.
16 And they said to him, See now, there are with your
avadim fifty strong men; let them go, we ask you, and
seek your master: if perhaps the Ruach of vuvh has taken
him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some
valley. And he said, You shall not send anyone.
17 And when they urged him until he was ashamed, he
relented and said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men;
and they sought him for three days, but found him not.
18 And when they came again to him, for he tarried at
Yericho, he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
19 And the men of the city said to Elisha, See, We ask
you, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my master
sees: but the mayim is spoiled, and the ground barren.
20 And he said, Bring me a new bowl, and put salt in it.
And they brought it to him.
21 And he went forth to the spring of the mayim, and cast
the salt in there, and said, This says vuvh, I have healed
these mayim; there shall not be from them any more
death, or barren land.
22 So the mayim were healed to this day, according to the
saying of Elisha which he spoke.
23 And he went up from there to Beth-El: and as he was
going up by the derech, there came forth little children
out of the city, and mocked him, and said to him, Go up,
you bald head; go up, you bald head. 980
24 And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed
them in the Name of vuvh. And there came forth two
female bears out of the woods, and tore up forty-two of
the children.
25 And he went from there to Mount Carmel, and from
there he returned to Shomron.
And Yahuram son of Achav began to reign over
Yisrael at Shomron in the eighteenth year of Yahushaphat
melech of Yahudah, and reigned twelve years.
2 And he worked evil in the sight of vuvh; but not like his
abba, and like his eema: for he put away the image of
Ba’al that his abba had made.
3 Nevertheless he cleaved to the sins of Yahravam the son
of Nevat, who made Yisrael to sin; he departed not from
them.
4 And Mesha melech of Moav was a sheep-breeder, and
rendered to the melech of Yisrael a hundred thousand
lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
5 But it came to pass, when Achav was dead, that the
melech of Moav rebelled against the melech of Yisrael.
6 And melech Yahuram went out of Shomron the same
time, and numbered kol Yisrael.
7 And he went and sent to Yahushaphat the melech of
Yahudah, saying, The melech of Moav has rebelled
against me: will you go with me against Moav to battle?
And he said, I will go up: I am as you are, my people as
your people, and my horses as your horses. 981

8 And he said, Which derech shall we go up? And he
answered, The derech that goes through the wilderness of
Edom.
9 So the melech of Yisrael went, and the melech of
Yahudah, and the melech of Edom: and they went a
journey of seven days: and there was no mayim for the
armies, and for the cattle that followed them.
10 And the melech of Yisrael said, Oy vey! vuvh has
called these three melechim together, to deliver them into
the hand of Moav!
11 But Yahushaphat said, Is there not here a navi of vuvh
that we may inquire of vuvh through him? And one of the
melech of Yisrael's avadim answered and said, Elisha the
son of Shaphat is here, who poured mayim on the hands
of Eliyahu.
12 And Yahushaphat said, The word of vuvh is with him.
So the melech of Yisrael and Yahushaphat and the
melech of Edom went down to him.
13 And Elisha said to the melech of Yisrael, What have I
to do with you? Go to the neviim of your abba, and to the
neviim of your eema. And the melech of Yisrael said to
him, No: for vuvh has called these three melechim
together, to deliver them into the hand of Moav.
14 And Elisha said, As vuvh tzevaoth lives, before whom
I stand, surely, were it not that I regard and respect the
presence of Yahushaphat the melech of Yahudah, I would
not even look at you, nor see you.
15 But now bring me a harpist. And it came to pass, when
the harpist played, that the hand of vuvh came upon him.
16 And he said, This says vuvh, Make this valley full of
ditches.
17 For this says vuvh, You shall not see wind, neither
shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with
mayim, that you may drink, both you, and your cattle, and
your beasts.
18 And this is but a minor thing in the sight of vuvh: He
will also deliver the Moavites into your hand.
19 And you shall kill every fortified city, and every
choice city, and shall cut down every tov eytz, and stop
all wells of mayim, and ruin every tov piece of land with
stones.
20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the grain
offering was offered, that, see, there came mayim by the
derech of Edom, and the country was filled with mayim.
21 And when all the Moavites heard that the melechim
were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that
were able to put on armor, and the older ones also, and
stood in the border.
22 And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun
shone upon the mayim, and the Moavites saw the mayim
on the other side as red as dahm:
23 And they said, This is dahm: the melechim are surely
killed, and they have killed one another: now therefore,
Moav, go to the spoil.
24 And when they came to the camp of Yisrael, the
Yisraelites rose up and killed the Moavites, so that they
fled before them: but they went forward smiting the
Moavites, even into their country.
25 And they beat down the cities, and on every tov piece
of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they
stopped all the wells of mayim, and cut all the tov eytzim:
only in Kir-Haraseth they left the stones; but the stone
slingers went around it, and destroyed it.
