he departedºº
notº
therefrom.º |

So the kingº
of Israelº
went,ººº
and the kingº
of Judah,º

of Edom:º
and they fetched a compassºº
of sevenº

him? And oneº
of the kingº
of Israel'sº
servantsººº
answeredºº
and said,ºº
Hereº
[is] Elishaº
the sonº
of Shaphat,º
whichº
pouredºº
waterº
onº
the handsº
of Elijah.º |

|
3:12
And Jehoshaphatº
said,ºº
The wordº

to deliverºº
them into the handº
of Moab.º |

|
3:14
And Elishaº
said,ºº
[As] Yahwehº
Sabaothº
liveth,º
beforeº
whomº
I stand,ºº
surely,º
were it notº
thatº
Iº
regardºº
the presenceº
of Jehoshaphatº
the kingº
of Judah,º
I would not lookºº
towardº
thee, norº
seeºº
thee. |
