2 Kings 1:1-8
1And MoabH4124 rebelledH6586 against IsraelH3478 after the deathH4194 of AhabH256.
2And AhaziahH274 fellH5307 downH5307 through the lattice in his upperH5944 chamberH5944 which was in SamariaH8111, and was sickH2470; and he sentH7971 messengersH4397 and saidH559 to them, GoH7971, inquire of Baal-zebubH1176 the 1godH430 of EkronH6138, whether I shall recover from this disease.
3And the angelH4397 of Jehovah saidH1696 to ElijahH452 the Tishbite, AriseH6965, goH1980 up to meet the messengersH4397 of the kingH4428 of SamariaH8111, and sayH1696 to them, Is it because there is not a 2GodH430 in IsraelH3478, that ye goH1980 to inquire of Baal-zebubH1176 the 3godH430 of EkronH6138?
4Now thereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah: Thou shalt not comeH5927 down from the bedH4296 on which thou art goneH5927 up, but shalt certainly dieH4191. And ElijahH452 departed.
5And the messengersH4397 returnedH7725 to him; and he saidH559 to them, WhyH4100 have ye returnedH7725?
6And they saidH559 unto him, A manH376 cameH5927 up to meet us, and saidH559 to us, GoH5927, returnH7725 to the kingH4428 that sentH7971 you and sayH559 to him, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: Is it because there is not a 4GodH430 in IsraelH3478, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebubH1176 the 5godH430 of EkronH6138? thereforeH3651 thou shalt not comeH5927 down from the bedH4296 on which thou art goneH5927 up, but shalt certainly dieH4191.
7And he saidH1696 to them, What mannerH1697 of manH376 was he that cameH5927 up to meet you, and told you these wordsH1697?
8And they saidH559 to him, He was a manH376 in a hairy [garment], and girt with a girdle of leather about his loinsH4975. And he saidH559, It is ElijahH452 the Tishbite.
