2 Kings 1:2-8
2And AhaziahH274 fellH5307 throughH1157 the latticeH7639 in his upperH5944 chamberH5944 whichH834 was in SamariaH8111, and becameH2470 illH2470. So he sentH7971 messengersH4397 and saidH559 to them, “GoH1980, 1inquireH1875 of Baal-zebubH1176, the godH430 of EkronH6138, 2whetherH518 I will recoverH2421 from thisH2088 sicknessH2483.” 3But the angelH4397 of the LordH3068 saidH1696 to 3ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, “AriseH6965, goH5927 up to meetH7122 the messengersH4397 of the kingH4428 of SamariaH8111 and sayH1696 to them, ‘Is it becauseH4480H1097 thereH369 is noH369 GodH430 in IsraelH3478 that you are goingH1980 to inquireH1875 of 4Baal-zebubH1176, the godH430 of EkronH6138?’ 4Now thereforeH3651 thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘56You shall not comeH3381 downH3381 from the bedH4296 whereH834H8033 you have goneH5927 up, but you shall surelyH4191 dieH4191.’” Then ElijahH452 departedH1980.
5When the messengersH4397 returnedH7725 to him he saidH559 to them, “7WhyH4100 have you returnedH7725?” 6They saidH559 to him, “A manH376 cameH5927 up to meetH7122 us and saidH559 to us, ‘GoH1980, returnH7725 to the kingH4428 whoH834 sentH7971 you and sayH1696 to him, “ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, ‘Is it becauseH4480H1097 thereH369 is noH369 GodH430 in IsraelH3478 that you are sendingH7971 8to inquireH1875 of Baal-zebubH1176, the godH430 of EkronH6138? ThereforeH3651 9you shall not comeH3381 downH3381 from the bedH4296 whereH834H8033 you have goneH5927 up, but shall surelyH4191 dieH4191.’”’” 7He saidH1696 to them, “WhatH4100 kindH4941 of manH376 was he whoH834 cameH5927 up to meetH7122 you and spokeH1696 theseH428 wordsH1697 to you?” 8They 10answeredH559 him, “11He was a hairyH8181 manH376 with a leatherH5785 girdleH232 12boundH247 about his loinsH4975.” And he saidH559, “It is ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664.”
