2 Kings 3:15
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But now, bring me a harpist.” And while the harpist played, the hand of the LORD came upon Elisha
In context
13 Elisha, however, said to the king of Israel, “What have we to do with each other? Go to the prophets of your father and of your mother!” “No,” replied the king of Israel, “for it is the LORD who has summoned these three kings to deliver them into the hand of Moab.”
14 Then Elisha said, “As surely as the LORD of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, were it not for my regard for the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you or acknowledge you.
15 But now, bring me a harpist.” And while the harpist played, the hand of the LORD came upon Elisha
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.’
