2 Now Ahaziah (YHWH holds) had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria (watch mountain) and injured himself. So he sent messengers and instructed them: “Go inquire of Baal-zebub (lord of the fly), the god of Ekron (torn up by the roots), whether I will recover from this injury.” 3 But the angel of the LORD {YHWH} said to Elijah (my God is YHWH) the Tishbite (captivity), “Go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria (watch mountain) and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God {Elohim} in Israel (he wrestles with God) that you⁺ are on your way to inquire of Baal-zebub (lord of the fly), the god of Ekron (torn up by the roots)?’ 4 Therefore this is what the LORD {YHWH} says: ‘You will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’” So Elijah (my God is YHWH) departed. 2 Kings 1:2-4, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
