16 And Elijah said to King Ahaziah, “This is what the LORD {YHWH} says: Is there really no God {Elohim} in Israel (he wrestles with God) for you to inquire of His word? Is that why you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub (lord of the fly), the god of Ekron (torn up by the roots)? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.” 17 So Ahaziah died according to the word of the LORD {YHWH} that Elijah (my God is YHWH) had spoken. And since he had no son, Jehoram (Joram) succeeded him in the second year of the reign of Jehoram (YHWH is exalted) son of Jehoshaphat (YHWH has judged) over Judah (praised). 18 As for the rest of the acts of Ahaziah (YHWH holds), along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel (he wrestles with God)? 2 Kings 1:16-18, Berean Annotated Bible.
