2 Kings 1:5-8

5When the messengers returned to 1Ahaziah, he said to them, “2Why have you returned?” 6They said to him, “A man came up to meet us and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you and say to him, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending messengers 3to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore 4you will not get down from the bed upon which you have lain, but you shall certainly die.’”’” 7Then he said to them, “What 5did the man look like, who came up to meet you and spoke these words to you?” 8And they said to him, “6He was a hairy man with a leather 7belt worn around his waist.” And he said, “It is Elijah the Tishbite.”
