2 Kings 1:1-4

1Now 1Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab. 2And Ahaziah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber which was in Samaria, and became ill. So he sent messengers and said to them, “Go, 2inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, 3whether I will recover from this sickness.” 3But the angel of the Lord said to 4Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of 5Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?’ 4Now therefore thus says the Lord, ‘67You shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’” Then Elijah departed.
