פרק ג׳ Flashcards
Yehoram was not as bad as his parents, but…
He still did bad in the eyes of H and didn’t destroy the עגלים.
Who was מישע?
The king of מואב
What did מישע stop doing?
Bringing livestock and taxes
Why did Yehoram call Yehoshafat king of Yehuda?
He was afraid to fight with מישע alone
Who did the two kings ask to join them?
The king of Edom.
What happened to the three kings after seven days?
They ran out of water
What does Radak say on the words לתת אותם ביד מואב?
Yehoram understood that the only way out was to daven, because if they stayed together, they would die of thirst, and if they split up to find water, they would be killed by Moav.
What question did Yehoshafat ask?
Is there a navi of H here?
What did the servant answer him?
אלישע is here.
Why did H tell אלישע to go perform a miracle for this רשע?
In the hope that Yehoram will do teshuva
What did אלישע ask Yehoram?
Why don’t you go to the neviim of your father, the נביאי הבעל?
What did Yehoram answer? What does אלישע say to this answer?
Please don’t say that, you know that if H doesn’t help us, we will fall into the hands of Moav and be killed so Elisha says If it wasn’t that Yehoshafat was here, I wouldn’t even look at you.
Why does אלישע ask for a musician?
a) his anger had chased away the shechina, now he needed music to bring it back
b) to make him happy, because you need to be in a state of simcha to get a nevuah
What was the nevuah that אלישע had?
That the valley close by will become filled with water
Why does אלישע say “you will not see wind or rain” ?
To show that it will happen through a nes.
Explain ינקל זאת.
Is is a small thing in the eyes of H, it is easy, and what’s more, H will also deliver Moav into your hands.
What did the מואבים mistakenly think when they saw the water? Why?
They thought that the three kings had fought and killed each other, and the valley was filled with their blood, because the water appeared red to them.
What did the מואבים do as a result of this mistake?
They ran confidently onto the Jewish camp, to collect spoils, and were overcome by them.
