And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab hath rebelled against me: wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as thou art, my people as thy people, and my horses as thy horses.

Verse 7 is found in chapter 3 of 2 Kings. The military expedition leads the armies into a critical situation because of a lack of water. Jehoshaphat asks for a prophet of the Lord, and Elisha appears. His presence reveals a characteristic tension in the book: rulers need divine guidance after making political decisions. Elisha initially rejects Jehoram’s authority, but agrees to intervene because of Jehoshaphat. The episode demonstrates that the prophetic word is not subordinate to the king. Military power ultimately has to recognize that success does not depend solely on human strategies, but on God’s provision and direction.
