Three Kings vs. the Moabites

Three Kings vs. the Moabites

In our last story, Elijah was taken to heaven, and Elisha became the prophet. When a group of boys made fun of Elisha’s baldness, he cursed them and had two bears attack 42 of the boys. In this story, we will learn how the three kings of Isreal, Judah, and Edom go into battle against the Moabites.

2 Kings 3:17-18
Judah and Edom faced a rebellious Moab. They embarked on a super-sneaky desert march to avoid a direct fight but ran out of water. King Jehoram, troubled and rebellious like his parents, cried out, fearing death in the desert. Wise King Jehoshaphat suggested seeking the Lord's guidance through the prophet Elisha. Elisha conveyed God's plan: dig holes and witness His miraculous provision. Overnight, without a drop of rain, the holes filled with water, saving the kings and their troops. The Moabites, misinterpreting the water as blood, foolishly believed they were winning. Yet, the three kings easily triumphed. The story emphasizes water's dual symbolism in the Bible—cleansing and quenching thirst. Similar to Noah's flood cleansing the world, baptism symbolizes internal cleansing.
