The evil king of the north was Joram (or, Jehoram). The righteous king of the south was Jehoshaphat. They, along with Edom’s king, were on their way to put down a rebellion of Moab. When they ran out of water, Joram decided it was a sign that Jehovah was against them. But—and here is the point—Jehoshaphat asked the question that is the title of this meditation. The prophet was Elisha who told them the will of the Lord, and He proceeded to put down the rebellion through them. It always pays for us to learn the will of the Lord, doesn’t it?
