6 E saiu então de Samaria o rei Jorão, e inspecionou a todo Israel.

7 E foi e enviou a dizer a Josafá rei de Judá: O rei de Moabe se há rebelado contra mim: irás tu comigo à guerra contra Moabe? E ele respondeu: Irei, porque como eu, assim tu; como meu povo, assim teu povo; como meus cavalos, assim também teus cavalos.

8 E disse: Por qual caminho iremos? E ele respondeu: Pelo caminho do deserto de Edom.

9 Partiram, pois, o rei de Israel, e o rei de Judá, e o rei de Edom; e quando andaram rodeando pelo deserto sete dias de caminho, faltou-lhes a água para o exército, e para os animais que os seguiam.
