Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, "What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of father and the prophets of your mother." But the king of Israel said to him, "No, for the LORD has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab."
And Elisha said, "As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you, nor see you.
2 Kings 3:13,14
Jehoram, his parents were Ahab and Jezebel, was the king of Israel. He and the king of Edom were idol worshipers. Jehoshaphat was the only God-fearing king out of the three. That is why Elisha said what he said. He wouldn't recognize them if it weren't for Jehoshaphat.
God still delivered the Moabites into their hands. One more verse -
Then 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 indignation against Israel. So they departed from him and returned to their own land.
2 Kings 3:27
This verse is about the king of Moab - pretty gruesome stuff. Tell God you love him.
The LORD bless you and keep you;
The LORD make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Please read your Bible.
