  1  Jehoram's reign.
 4  Mesha rebels.
 6  Jehoram, with Jehoshaphat, and the king of Edom, being
    distressed for want of water, by Elisha obtains water, and
    promise of victory.
21  The Moabites, deceived by the color of the water, coming
    to spoil, are overcome.

    to the king of Edom, sacrifices his son, and raises the
    siege.

  That is, was his constant and confidential servant.  Mr.

  and poured water on their hands to wash."

 - bring me.
  This was evidently intended to soothe and tranquillize the
  prophet's mind, which had been agitated and discomposed with
  holy indignation by the presence of the idolatrous king, and
  the recollection of his abomination.  The soothing influence
  of music is generally acknowledged in every civilized nation.

- Kir-heres.


VERSE 26

   * :9 Am 2:1


VERSE 27 
 - offered him.
  In cases of great extremity, it was customary in various
  heathen nations, to offer human sacrifices, and even their own
  children.  This was frequent among the Phoenicians, Greeks,
  Romans, Scythians, Gauls, Africans, and others; and was the
  natural fruit of a religious system, which had for the objects
  of its worship cruel and merciless divinities.  The king of
  Moab, in this case, sacrificed his son to obtain the favor of
  Chemosh his god, who, being a devil, delighted in blood and
  murder, and the destruction of mankind.  The dearer any thing
  was to them, the more acceptable those idolaters thought the
  sacrifice, and therefore burnt their children in the fire to
  their honor.

   * Ge 22:2,13 De 12:31 Jud 11:31,39 Ps 106:37,38 Eze 16:20
   * Mic 6:7
