Context — Moab’s Rebellion
18This is a simple matter in the sight of the LORD, and He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
19And you shall attack every fortified city and every city of importance. You shall cut down every good tree, stop up every spring, and ruin every good field with stones.”
20The next morning, at the time of the morning sacrifice, water suddenly flowed from the direction of Edom and filled the land.
21Now all the Moabites had heard that the kings had come up to fight against them. So all who could bear arms, young and old, were summoned and stationed at the border. 22When they got up early in the morning, the sun was shining on the water, and it looked as red as blood to the Moabites across the way.Cross References

2 Kings 3:20 Summary
[In 2 Kings 3:20, we see a beautiful example of God's provision and care for His people, as water suddenly flows from the direction of Edom to fill the land. This miracle happens at the time of the morning sacrifice, highlighting God's faithfulness and trustworthiness, as seen in Jeremiah 33:20-22. Just as the Israelites trusted in God's provision in the wilderness, as described in Exodus 16:1-36, we can trust in His care for us today. By trusting in God's goodness and faithfulness, as expressed in Psalm 23:1-6, we can experience His peace and provision in our lives.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the morning sacrifice in 2 Kings 3:20?
The morning sacrifice was a daily ritual in Israel, as instructed in Exodus 29:38-42, and its timing in 2 Kings 3:20 highlights God's faithfulness and provision, as seen in Jeremiah 33:20-22.
Why did water suddenly flow from the direction of Edom?
The sudden flow of water was a miraculous provision by God, demonstrating His power and care for His people, similar to the parting of the Red Sea in Exodus 14:13-31 and the provision of water from the rock in Numbers 20:1-13.
How does this event relate to the broader context of 2 Kings 3?
The flow of water in 2 Kings 3:20 is a crucial element in the story of the kings' campaign against Moab, as it sets the stage for the Moabites' misunderstanding and subsequent defeat, as seen in 2 Kings 3:21-27.
What can we learn from the timing of this miracle in 2 Kings 3:20?
The fact that the water flowed at the time of the morning sacrifice emphasizes the importance of trusting in God's timing and provision, as expressed in Psalm 37:3-7 and Isaiah 40:31.
Reflection Questions
- How have I experienced God's sudden and unexpected provision in my life, and how can I trust Him more fully in times of need?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust in God's timing and provision, and how can I apply the lessons from 2 Kings 3:20 to those situations?
- In what ways can I, like the kings in 2 Kings 3, seek God's guidance and trust in His power to accomplish His purposes in my life?
- How can I, in my daily life, cultivate a deeper awareness of God's presence and provision, as seen in the miraculous flow of water in 2 Kings 3:20?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Kings 3:20
And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered,.... At Jerusalem; which always went along with the daily burnt offering of the lamb, which might not indeed be offered before
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 3:20
And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Kings 3:20
When the meat-offering was offered, i.e. the morning sacrifice; of which ,40, which doubtless was attended with the solemn prayers of God’ s people, as the evening sacrifice unquestionably was, , there being the same reason for substance for both times. At this time Elisha joined his prayers with the prayers of God’ s people, especially those at Jerusalem, as Elijah had done at a like time, ; and this time God chose to answer his and their prayers, and to work this miracle, that thereby he might determine the controversy between the Israelites and the Jews, about the place and manner of worship, and give a public testimony from heaven for the Jews, and against the Israelites. There came water; miraculously produced out of some rock or vein of the earth. By the way of Edom; from those parts which were towards Edom.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 3:20
2 Kings 3:20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.Ver. 20. In the morning, when the meat offering was offered.] Which was the hour of public prayer. The devotions of all true Jews - all the world over - were in that hour combined. How seasonably doth the wisdom of God pick out that instant wherein he might at once answer both Elisha’ s prophecy and his people’ s prayers! That, behold, there came water.] Adductae ab angelis, saith A Lapide, brought thither by the angels. And the country was filled.] Not the ditches only.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 3:20
(20) When the meat offering was offered.—Comp. 1 Kings 18:29; 1 Kings 18:36. A more exact definition of the time. The reckoning by hours was unknown before the captivity. According to the Talmud, the morning sacrifice was offered in the Temple the moment it became light. (Ewald assumes that “the meat offering” was offered on this occasion in the camp.) That help came to the distressed army just at the hour of morning worship was a striking coincidence. (This allusion to the law of Exo 29:38, seq., may be an indirect hit at the northern kingdom.) There came water.—Water was coming from the way (direction) of Edom. It would seem that a sudden storm of rain had fallen on the mountains of Seir, at some distance from the camp (Josephus says at a distance of three days’ march); and the water found its natural outlet in the dry wady. Reuss thinks this explanation “superfluous,” in the face of “the author’s intention to describe a miracle;” but there are different kinds of miracle, and, in the present instance, the miraculous element is visible in the prophet’s prediction of the coming help, and in the coincidence of the natural phenomena with the needs of the Israelites. (Comp. 2 Kings 7:1-2, seq.) [This statement seems to preclude also the naturalistic explanation founded on the meaning of the Arabic name of the locality. Hisyun, hasyun, hasan, mean water which gathers on a hard bottom under the sand in certain localities, and which the Arabs get at by scooping holes in the ground.
See Lane, Arab. Eng. Lex. s.v.]
Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Kings 3:20
Verse 20. When the meat-offering was offered] This was the first of all offerings, and was generally made at sun-rising. There came water] This supply was altogether miraculous, for there was neither wind nor rain, nor any other natural means by which it could be supplied.
Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 3:20
20. when the meat offering was offered] R.V. about the time of offering the oblation. The term meat offering has become misleading to modern English readers, because it would now imply that flesh of some kind formed a part of the offering; whereas the oblation [minchah] here spoken of consisted (see Leviticus 2:1) of fine flour, oil and frankincense. Hence R.V. has rendered the word very frequently ‘meal offering’, and in some places as here, where there was no need to be specific, by ‘oblation’. The time of the offering was as soon as possible after day-dawn. In a similar manner the time selected by Elijah (1 Kings 18:36) for offering his prayer to God on Carmel was at the time of the offering of the evening oblation. Thus in both cases God’s intervention was linked to the worship at Jerusalem. ‘Elijah fetched down his fire at the hour of the evening sacrifice, Elisha fetched up his water at the hour of the morning sacrifice. God gives respect to His own hours for the encouragement of our observation. If His wisdom hath set us any peculiar times, we cannot keep them without a blessing’ (Bp Hall). by the way of Edom] The fall of rain, to which the supply of water was due, would thus be unknown to the Moabites even more than to the Israelites. Josephus describes the rain as having fallen in abundance at a distance of three days’ journey (Ant. IX. 3. 2).
Barnes' Notes on 2 Kings 3:20
When the meat offering was offered - i. e. about sunrise, when the morning sacrifice was offered. Compare 1 Kings 18:29. There came water by the way of Edom - The Wady-el-Ahsy drains a considerable portion of northern Edom.
Whedon's Commentary on 2 Kings 3:20
20. When the meat offering was offered — That is, at sunrise. “Miraculous manifestations of God’s mercy often take place at stated times of prayer, and thus God’s approval of such appointments is shown.” — Wordsworth.
