2 Kings 1:5-8

5When the messengersH4397 returnedH7725 to 1Ahaziah, he saidH559 to them, “2WhyH4100 have you returnedH7725?” 6They saidH559 to him, “A manH376 cameH5927 upH5927 to meetH7122 us and saidH559 to us, ‘GoH1980, returnH7725 to the kingH4428 whoH834 sentH7971 you and sayH1696 to him, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: ‘Is it becauseH4480H1097 thereH369 isH369 noH369 GodH430 in IsraelH3478 that you are sendingH7971 messengers 3to inquireH1875 of Baal-zebubH1176, the godH430 of EkronH6138? ThereforeH3651 4you will not getH3381 downH3381 from the bedH4296 upon whichH834 you have lainH5927, but you shall certainlyH4191 dieH4191.’”’” 7Then he saidH1696 to them, “WhatH4100 5did the manH376 lookH4941 likeH4941, whoH834 cameH5927 upH5927 to meetH7122 you and spokeH1696 theseH428 wordsH1697 to you?” 8And they said to him, “6He was a hairyH1167H8181 manH376 with a leatherH5785 7beltH232 wornH247 around his waistH4975.” And he saidH559, “It is ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664.”
