Contextual Overview

⁶ So King Joram went out from Samaria and gathered Israel's army. ⁷ He also sent messengers to Jehoshaphat king of Judah. "The king of Moab has turned against me," he said. "Will you go with me to fight Moab?" Jehoshaphat replied, "I will go with you. My soldiers and my horses are yours." ⁸ Jehoshaphat asked, "Which way should we attack?" Joram answered, "Through the Desert of Edom." ⁹ So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom. After they had marched seven days, there was no more water for the army or for their animals that were with them. ¹⁰ The king of Israel said, "This is terrible! The Lord has called us three kings together to hand us over to the Moabites!" ¹¹ But Jehoshaphat asked, "Is there a prophet of the Lord here? We can ask the Lord through him." An officer of the king of Israel answered, "Elisha son of Shaphat is here. He was Elijah's servant." ¹² Jehoshaphat said, "He speaks the Lord 's truth." So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to see Elisha. ¹³ Elisha said to the king of Israel, "I have nothing to do with you. Go to the prophets of your father and to the prophets of your mother!" The king of Israel said to Elisha, "No, the Lord has called us three kings together to hand us over to the Moabites." ¹⁴ Elisha said, "As surely as the Lord All-Powerful lives, whom I serve, I tell you the truth. I wouldn't even look at you or notice you if Jehoshaphat king of Judah were not here. I respect him. ¹⁵ Now bring me someone who plays the harp." While the harp was being played, the Lord gave Elisha power.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Jehoshaphat said, the word of the Lord is with him,.... To give them an answer, which he concluded from his being a servant and disciple of Elijah, whom he succeeded in his office, and of whom he had, doubtless, heard; and from his following the camp, and being in it, which he easily imagined was not to fight, but to assist by his advice and counsel, and by his prophecies, as there might be occasion for them:

so the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him; descended from their chariots, and went to the tent in the camp where he was; they did not send for him to come to them, but, in honour of him, went to him themselves.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 3:12. The word of the Lord is with him. — He has the gift of prophecy.
