He will give you more than you ask or expect. For they were so weakened and discouraged with the great drought, that they had no hopes of proceeding in the offensive war, and thought it sufficient, if it were possible, to defend themselves from the Moabites, 2Ki 3:13<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n And this is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord<\/strong>,…. To give them such a plenty of water in such an extraordinary manner: he would do for them what was greater, not only save them from falling into the hand of Moab, which they feared,<\/p>\n but he wilt deliver the Moabites into your hands<\/strong>; which was more than was asked for, or expected.<\/p>\n (18) Is but a light thing.<\/strong>Will be a light thing<\/em> (1Ki. 16:31<\/span>).<\/p>\n He will deliver the Moabites.<\/strong>The contrary of Jehorams expectation (2Ki. 3:10<\/span>; 2Ki. 3:13<\/span>).<\/p>\n 2Ki 3:18 And this is [but] a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.<\/p>\n Ver. 18.

And it came to pass, in the morning, about the time of offering the oblation, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.”<\/p>\n Some writers take the “scorched earth” policy of this war against Moab as being in direct violation of Deu 20:19-20, which forbade Israel to cut down the fruit trees of conquered enemies, but the allegation is false.
