2 Kings 3:16–20 · Berean Standard Bible

16 and he said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Dig this valley full of ditches.’

17 For the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind or rain, but the valley will be filled with water, and you will drink—you and your cattle and your animals.’

18 This is a simple matter in the sight of the LORD, and He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.

19 And you shall attack every fortified city and every city of importance. You shall cut down every good tree, stop up every spring, and ruin every good field with stones.”

20 The next morning, at the time of the morning sacrifice, water suddenly flowed from the direction of Edom and filled the land.
