2 Kings 3:11-13
New Century Version
11 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there a prophet of the Lord here? We can ask the Lord through him.”
An officer of the king of Israel answered, “Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He was Elijah’s servant.”
12 Jehoshaphat said, “He speaks the Lord’s truth.” So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to see Elisha.
13 Elisha said to the king of Israel, “I have nothing to do with you. Go to the prophets of your father and to the prophets of your mother!”
The king of Israel said to Elisha, “No, the Lord has called us three kings together to hand us over to the Moabites.”
