2 Kings 3 narrates the story of the King Jorão of Israel, King Jehoshaphat of Judah and the king of Edom, who joined to fight Moab. They marched through the Edom's desert and ran out of water. Then they sought the prophet Elisha, who asked for a harp player and prophesied that God would supply water miraculously. God fulfilled Elisha's prophecy and provided enough water to the troops and the animals. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in 2 Kings 3:
Psalm 104:10-13: "It brings grass to cattle, and plants for man to cultivate, taking the food out of the earth: the wine, which rejoices the human heart; the olive oil, which makes the face shine, and the bread that sustains the vigor of life. " This verse talks about how God provides food and drink for humanity. In 2 Kings 3, God provided water miraculously to the thirsty troops and animals.
Isaiah 41:17-18: "The afflicted and the needy seek water, but they do not find it; the language dries out of thirst. But I will serve them; I, the God of Israel, will not abandon them. I will open rivers. In the sterile hills, and sources in the middle of the valleys; I will become the desert in lake, and the land dry in springs. " This verse relates to the situation of the troops of Josaph, Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom who were thirsty in the desert, but God met his needs providing water.
Deuteronomy 2:4-5: "Give the order to the people, 'You are passing through the territory of your brothers, the descendants of Esau, who dwell in Seir. They will be afraid of you, but be careful. Do not get involved in a war with them, For I will not even give you a palm of land. I will give as inheritance to the descendants of Esau the territory they now occupy. " This verse talks about the importance of respecting the territorial limits of other peoples and avoiding unnecessary conflicts. In 2 Kings 3, Jorão, Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom fought Moab, but faced difficulties on the way.
Matthew 5:9: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." This verse relates to the importance of peace and reconciliation between peoples. In 2 Kings 3, Jorão, Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom came together to fight Moab, but faced difficulties on the way.
Philippians 4:19: "My God will supply all your needs according to your glorious riches in Christ Jesus." This verse talks about how God meets all the needs of those who trust in Him. In 2 Kings 3, Elisha prophesied that God would supply water miraculously to the thirst troops and animals, and God fulfilled his promise. This verse reminds us that we can trust God to meet all our needs.
