2 Kings
When the sun shone on the water, the Moabites saw it from a distance as red like blood. They concluded the kings had fought each other and that there was plunder to take. So they went to Israel’s camp, where Israel rose and struck them (2 Kings 3:22–24).
22They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water over against them as red as blood:
23and they said, This is blood; the kings are surely destroyed, and they have struck each man his fellow: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
24When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites.
