Three Kings vs The Moabites

Three Kings vs The Moabites

Joram, King Ahab’s son was now King over Israel, and for 12 years he built a kingdom that fed his self-importance. Sick of being under Israelite subjugation, the nation of Moab rose in revolt. King Joram quickly sent word to King Jehoshaphat and the nation of Edom asking for help. As the three kings and their armies were marching up for battle they ran out of provisions. Frightened, the kings sent for Elisha that he might inquire of God on their behalf. Then Elisha prophesied water for the men, and victory over the Moabites.

2 Kings 3:16
In yesterday’s episode we heard how God took Elijah home in a whirlwind and chariot of fire. Elisha asked for a double portion of his spirit, knowing the task at hand required a great measure of God’s strength and presence. The Lord granted his request, and Elisha took on the ministry Elijah had left behind. Today we’ll hear about the rebellion of the Moabites, who had lived under Israel’s protection since the time of David. As they rebel and strike against Israel, we’ll see how Joram, Israel’s new king will join with other nations to fight the Moabites, and in the midst of it, despite his wayward heart, he’ll witness God’s faithfulness.
