2 Kings 1:2-8

2And AhaziahH274 fell downH5307 through a latticeH7639 in his upper chamberH5944 that was in SamariaH8111, and was sickH2470: and he sentH7971 messengersH4397, and saidH559 to them, GoH3212, enquireH1875 of BaalzebubH1176 the godH430 of EkronH6138 whether I shall recoverH2421 from this diseaseH2483. 3But the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 saidH1696 to ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, AriseH6965, go upH5927 to meetH7125 the messengersH4397 of the kingH4428 of SamariaH8111, and sayH1696 to them, Is it not because there is not a GodH430 in IsraelH3478, that ye goH1980 to enquireH1875 of BaalzebubH1176 the godH430 of EkronH6138? 4Now therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Thou shalt not come downH3381 from that bedH4296 on which thou art gone upH5927, but shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191. And ElijahH452 departedH3212.1 5And when the messengersH4397 returnedH7725 to him, he saidH559 to them, Why have ye nowH2088 returnedH7725? 6And they saidH559 to him, There came upH5927 a manH376 to meetH7125 us, and saidH559 to us, GoH3212, returnH7725 to the kingH4428 that sentH7971 you, and sayH1696 to him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Is it not because there is not a GodH430 in IsraelH3478, that thou sendestH7971 to enquireH1875 of BaalzebubH1176 the godH430 of EkronH6138? therefore thou shalt not come downH3381 from that bedH4296 on which thou art gone upH5927, but shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191. 7And he saidH1696 to them, What mannerH4941 of manH376 was he who came upH5927 to meetH7125 you, and toldH1696 you these wordsH1697?2 8And they answeredH559 him, He was an hairyH8181 manH1167H376, and girtH247 with a leatherH5785 beltH232 about his loinsH4975. And he saidH559, It is ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664.
