Word missing in CEB of 2 Kings 3.12

In Accordance, the CEB translation of 2 Kings 3.12 reads:

• Jehoshaphat said, “He has the LORD’S word!” So Israel’s King Jehoshaphat and Edom’s king went down to see Elisha. (2Kings 3:12 CEB) (pasted from the program: https://accordancebible.com/link/read/CEB#2_Kgs_3:12)

I was a bit confused by the “Israel's King Jehoshaphat” bit. It didn't make sense--Jehoshaphat with the king of Judah--and didn't match the Hebrew. It appears that the CEB has an “and” between “Israel's King” and “Jehoshaphat”. [Still feels awkward, but that's CEB's problem.]

It should read:

• Jehoshaphat said, “He has the LORD’S word!” So Israel’s and King Jehoshaphat and Edom’s king went down to see Elisha. (2Kings 3:12 CEB)

FYI: I'm running Accordance 14.1.2 with CEB Version 1.9 in MacOS Sequoia 15.7.7 on a M3 Max MacBook 16 (36GB, 1TB)

  The print version of the CEB I have has: … So Israel's king and Jehoshaphat and Edom's king went …

  You were correct that the Accordance file has a missing “and”.
