2 Ahaziah fell through a window lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria and was injured. He sent messengers with these orders, |Go, ask Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, if I will survive this injury.| 3 But the LORD's angelic messenger told Elijah the Tishbite, |Get up, go to meet the messengers from the king of Samaria. Say this to them: 'You must think there is no God in Israel! That explains why you are on your way to seek an oracle from Baal Zebub the god of Ekron. 4 Therefore this is what the LORD says, |You will not leave the bed you lie on, for you will certainly die!|'| So Elijah went on his way. 2 Kings 1:2-4, New English Translation.
