*
Now Ahazi '
ah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber in Sama '
ria ,
and lay sick ;
so he sent messengers ,
telling them , "
Go ,
inquire of Ba '
al-ze '
bub ,
the god of Ekron ,
whether I shall recover from this sickness ."
*
But the angel of the LORD said to Eli '
jah the Tishbite , "
Arise ,
go up to meet the messengers of the king of Sama '
ria ,
and say to them , `
Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Ba '
al-ze '
bub ,
the god of Ekron ?'
*
Now therefore thus says the LORD , `
You shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone ,
but you shall surely die .'"
So Eli '
jah went .
