3:4 Now King Mesha of Moab was a sheep breeder. 1 He would send as tribute 2 to the king of Israel 100,000 male lambs and the wool of 100,000 rams. 3:5 When Ahab died, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel. 3:6 At that time King Jehoram left Samaria and assembled all Israel for war. 3:7 He sent 3 this message to King Jehoshaphat of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you fight with me against Moab?” Jehoshaphat 4 replied, “I will join you in the campaign; my army and horses are at your disposal.” 5 3:8 He then asked, “Which invasion route are we going to take?” 6 Jehoram 7 answered, “By the road through the Desert of Edom.” 3:9 So the kings of Israel, Judah, and Edom 8 set out together. They wandered around on the road for seven days and finally ran out of water for the men and animals they had with them.
