Contextual Overview
6So King Jehoram left Samaria at that time and assembled all [the fighting men of] Israel. 7Then he went and sent word to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, saying, "The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?" And he replied, "I will go; I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses." 8Jehoram said, "Which way shall we go up?" Jehoshaphat answered, "The way through the Wilderness of Edom." 9So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom. They made a circuit of seven days' journey, but there was no water for the army or for the cattle that followed them. 10Then the king of Israel said, "We are doomed, for the LORD has called these three kings to be handed over to Moab." 11But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there no prophet of the LORD here from whom we may inquire of the LORD?" One of the servants of the king of Israel answered, "Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who used to pour water over Elijah's hands." 12Jehoshaphat said, "The word of the LORD is with him." So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to Elisha. 13Now Elisha said to the king of Israel, "What business do you have with me? Go to the prophets of your [wicked] father [Ahab] and to the prophets of your [pagan] mother [Jezebel]." But the king of Israel said to him, "No, for the LORD has called these three kings together to be handed over to Moab." 14Elisha said, "As the LORD of hosts (armies) lives, before whom I stand, were it not that I have regard for Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not look at you nor see you [king of Israel]. 15"But now bring me a musician." And it came about while the musician played, that the hand (power) of the LORD came upon Elisha.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And this is but a light thing in the sight of the Lord,.... 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,
but he wilt deliver the Moabites into your hands; which was more than was asked for, or expected.
