2 Kings 1:2-8
2And AhaziahH274 fellH5307 downH5307 through the lattice in his upperH5944 chamberH5944 that was in SamariaH8111, and was sickH2470: and he sentH7971 messengersH4397, and saidH559 unto them, GoH7971, inquire of Baal-zebubH1176, the godH430 of EkronH6138, whether I shall recover of this sicknessH2483. 3But the angelH4397 of Jehovah saidH1696 to ElijahH452 the Tishbite, AriseH6965, goH1980 up to meet the messengersH4397 of the kingH4428 of SamariaH8111, and sayH1696 unto them, Is it because there is no GodH430 in IsraelH3478, that ye goH1980 to inquire of Baal-zebubH1176, the godH430 of EkronH6138? 4Now thereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah, Thou shalt not comeH5927 down from the bedH4296 whither thou art goneH5927 up, but shalt surely dieH4191. And ElijahH452 departed.
5And the messengersH4397 returnedH7725 unto him, and he saidH559 unto them, WhyH4100 is it that ye are returnedH7725? 6And they saidH559 unto him, There cameH5927 up a manH376 to meet us, and saidH559 unto us, GoH5927, turnH7725 again unto the kingH4428 that sentH7971 you, and sayH559 unto him, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, Is it because there is no GodH430 in IsraelH3478, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebubH1176, the godH430 of EkronH6138? thereforeH3651 thou shalt not comeH5927 down from the bedH4296 whither thou art goneH5927 up, but shalt surely dieH4191. 7And he saidH1696 unto them, What mannerH1697 of manH376 was he that cameH5927 up to meet you, and told you these wordsH1697? 8And they answered him, He was a hairy manH376, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loinsH4975. And he saidH559, It is ElijahH452 the Tishbite.
