2 Kings 3:17 in Context — 2 Kings 3
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.
19 Y vosotros heriréis á toda ciudad fortalecida y á toda villa hermosa, y talaréis todo buen árbol, y cegaréis todas las fuentes de aguas, y destruiréis con piedras toda tierra fértil.
