2 Kings 3:25 meaning and explanation
They destroyed the cities, and each man threw stones on every good field until it was covered. They stopped up every spring and cut down every good tree. Only Kir-haraseth was left with stones in place, but men with slings surrounded it and attacked it as well.
2 Kings 3:25, Berean Standard Bible

The tactics are those of ancient siege warfare: throwing stones over good farmland, stopping springs and cutting trees to strip the land of its ability to sustain life and resistance.
