2 Kings 3:16 in Context — 2 Kings 3

14 Y Eliseo dijo: Vive Jehová de los ejércitos, en cuya presencia estoy, que si no tuviese respeto al rostro de Josaphat rey de Judá, no mirara á ti, ni te viera.

15 Mas ahora traedme un tañedor. Y mientras el tañedor tocaba, la mano de Jehová fué sobre Eliseo.

16 Y dijo: Así ha dicho Jehová: Haced en este valle muchas acequias.

17 Porque Jehová ha dicho así: No veréis viento, ni veréis lluvia, y este valle será lleno de agua, y beberéis vosotros, y vuestras bestias, y vuestros ganados.

18 Y esto es cosa ligera en los ojos de Jehová; dará también á los Moabitas en vuestras manos.
