ELISHA PROMISES WATER AND VICTORY OVER MOAB. (2Ki. 3:6-24)
King Jehoram . . . numbered Israel—made a levy from his own subjects, and at the same time sought an alliance with Jehoshaphat, which, as on the former occasion with Ahab, was readily promised (I Kings 22:4).
MESHA, KING OF MOAB, REBELS. (II Kings 3:4-5)
Mesha king of Moab, etc.—As his dominions embraced an extensive pasture country, he paid, as annual tribute, the wool of a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand rams. It is still common in the East to pay custom and taxes in the fruits or natural produce of the land.
