Now Moab
rebelled
against Israel
after
the death
of Ahab.
2
And 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,
inquire
of Baal-zebub,
the god
of Ekron,
whether
I will recover
from this
sickness."
3
But the angel
of the LORD
said
to Elijah
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 Baal-zebub,
the god
of Ekron?'
4
"Now therefore
thus
says
the LORD,
'
You shall not come down
from the bed
where
you have gone
up, but you shall surely
die.'"
Then Elijah
departed.
5
When the messengers
returned
to him he said
to them, "Why
have you
returned
?"
6
They 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, "Thus
says
the LORD,
'Is it because
there is no
God
in Israel
that you are sending
to inquire
of Baal-zebub,
the god
of Ekron?
Therefore
you shall not come down
from the bed
where
you have gone
up, but shall surely
die.'"'"
7
He said
to them, "What
kind
of man
was he who
came
up to meet
you and spoke
these
words
to you?"
8
They answered
him, "He was a hairy
man
with a leather
girdle
bound
about his loins."
And he said,
"It is Elijah
the Tishbite."
9
Then
the king
sent
to him a captain
of fifty
with his fifty.
And he went
up to him, and behold,
he was sitting
on the top
of the hill.
And he said
to him, "O man
of God,
the king
says,
'Come down.'"
10
Elijah
replied
to the captain
of fifty,
"If
I am a man
of God,
let fire
come
down
from heaven
and consume
you and your fifty."
Then fire
came
down
from heaven
and consumed
him and his fifty.
11
So he again
sent
to him another
captain
of fifty
with his fifty.
And he said
to him, "O man
of God,
thus
says
the king,
'Come down
quickly.'"
12
Elijah
replied
to them, "If
I am a man
of God
,
let fire
come
down
from heaven
and consume
you and your fifty."
Then the fire
of God
came
down
from heaven
and consumed
him and his fifty.
13
So he again
sent
the
captain
of a third
fifty
with his
fifty
.
When the third
captain
of
fifty
went
up, he came
and bowed down
on his knees
before
Elijah,
and begged
him and said
to him, "O man
of God,
please
let my life
and the lives
of these
fifty
servants
of yours be precious
in your sight.
14
"Behold
fire
came down
from heaven
and consumed
the first
two
captains
of fifty
with their fifties;
but now
let my life
be precious
in your sight."
15
The angel
of the LORD
said
to Elijah,
"Go
down
with him; do not be afraid
of him." So he arose
and went
down
with him to the king.
16
Then he said
to him, "Thus
says
the LORD,
'Because
you have sent
messengers
to inquire
of Baal-zebub,
the god
of Ekron--
is it because
there is no
God
in Israel
to inquire
of His word?--
therefore
you shall not come down
from the bed
where
you have gone
up, but shall surely
die.'"
17
So Ahaziah died
according to the word
of the LORD
which
Elijah
had spoken.
And because
he had
no
son,
Jehoram
became
king
in his place
in the second
year
of
Jehoram
the son
of Jehoshaphat,
king
of Judah.
18
Now the rest
of the acts
of Ahaziah
which
he did,
are they not written
in the Book
of the Chronicles
of the Kings
of Israel?
