¹⁵ Moab is laid waste, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the king, whose name is the LORD of hosts.

⁵ He trusted in Yahweh, the God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [among them] that were before him.

⁶ For he joined with Yahweh; he didn't depart from following him, but kept his commandments, which Yahweh commanded Moses.
