4And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master, and he rendered to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a hundred thousand rams, [with] wool,
5and it cometh to pass at the death of Ahab, that the king of Moab transgresseth against the king of Israel.
6And king Jehoram goeth out in that day from Samaria, and inspecteth all Israel,
7and goeth and sendeth unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, `The king of Moab hath transgressed against me; dost thou go with me unto Moab for battle?` and he saith, `I go up, as I, so thou; as my people, so thy people; as my horses, so thy horses.
8And he saith, `Where [is] this -- the way we go up?` and he saith, `The way of the wilderness of Edom.`
9And the king of Israel goeth, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom, and they turn round the way seven days, and there hath been no water for the camp, and for the cattle that [are] at their feet,
10and the king of Israel saith, `Alas, for Jehovah hath called for these three kings, to give them into the hand of Moab.`
