2 Ahaziah fell through the lattice of his roof terrace at Samaria and was injured. So he sent out messengers with the instructions: “Go and inquire of Baalzebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this injury.” 3 Meanwhile, the messenger of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite: Go and meet the messengers of Samaria’s king, and tell them: “Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baalzebub, the god of Ekron?” 4 For this, the LORD says: You shall not leave the bed upon which you lie; instead, you shall die. And Elijah departed. 2 Kings 1:2-4, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
