Here are three kings that took it upon themselves to invade Moab to punish them for rebelling against Israel. There is no indication that they sought God until the kings and their armies are faced with dying of thirst. The wicked King Jehoram, the good but foolish King Jehoshaphat, and the pagan king of Edom then inquire of the prophet Elisha who sternly rebukes Jehoram but saves the day. Ultimately the campaign was a failure.
