2 Kings 3:6

JoramSamaria

4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and he would render to the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs and the wool of a hundred thousand rams.

5 But after the death of Ahab, the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.

So at that time King Jehoram set out from Samaria and mobilized all Israel.

7 And he sent a message to Jehoshaphat king of Judah: “The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?” “I will go,” replied Jehoshaphat. “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”

8 Then he asked, “Which way shall we go up?” “By way of the Desert of Edom,” replied Joram.
