2 KINGS 3:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:”
The Moabites, seeing the water from a distance in the morning sun, mistook it for blood — the optical illusion plays a crucial role in the battle's outcome. The red-tinted water (perhaps from Edom's rusty soil) creates a false perception, causing panic among Moab's forces.
