After the death of Ahab ,
Moab
rebelled
against
Israel
.
And
Moab
rebelled
against
Israel
after the death of Ahab.
Now
Ahaziah had
fallen
through the lattice of
his upper room
in Samaria and injured
himself.
So
he sent messengers and instructed
them :
“
Go inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will
recover from
this injury
. ”
And
Ahaziah fell
down
through the lattice in
his upper chamber
that
was
in Samaria ,
and was
sick:
and
he sent messengers ,
and said
unto
them ,
Go ,
inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall
recover of
this sickness
.
But the angel of the
LORD
said to Elijah the Tishbite, “
Go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask
them, ‘
Is it because there is no God in Israel that you
are
on
your
way
to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? ’
But the angel of Jehovah
said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise,
go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria ,
and say
unto
them, Is it because there is no God in Israel ,
that ye
go
to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?
Therefore this
is
what
the
LORD
says:
‘You
will
not get
up
from the bed on
which
you
are
lying.
You
will
surely die. ’”
So
Elijah departed.
Now
therefore thus
saith
Jehovah,
Thou
shalt
not come
down
from the bed whither
thou
art
gone
up,
but
shalt
surely die. And
Elijah departed.
When
the messengers returned to
the
king
, he asked
them, “
Why have
you
returned? ”
And
the messengers returned unto
him
, and
he said
unto
them, Why is
it
that
ye
are
returned?
They replied
, “A
man
came up to meet us and said, ‘
Go back
to
the king who
sent you and tell
him that
this
is
what
the
LORD
says:
Is it because there is no God in Israel that you
are
sending
these
men
to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you
will
not get
up
from the bed on
which
you
are
lying.
You
will
surely die. ’”
And
they said
unto
him
, There
came up a
man
to meet us ,
and said unto
us
, Go ,
turn
again
unto
the king that
sent you ,
and say
unto
him ,
Thus
saith
Jehovah,
Is it because there is no God in Israel ,
that thou
sendest
to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? therefore thou
shalt
not come
down
from the bed whither
thou
art
gone
up,
but
shalt
surely die.
The
king
asked
them, “
What sort
of man came up to meet you and spoke
these words to
you
? ”
And
he
said
unto
them, What manner
of man was
he
that
came up to meet you ,
and told
you
these words?
“
He was a hairy man, ”
they
answered,
“
with a leather belt
around
his waist
. ”
“
It was
Elijah the Tishbite ,”
said
the
king
.
And
they
answered
him,
He was a hairy man, and
girt
with a girdle
of
leather about
his loins
. And
he
said,
It is
Elijah the Tishbite.
Then King Ahaziah
sent to
Elijah
a captain with his company
of
fifty men
. So
the
captain
went up to Elijah
, who
was sitting on top of a
hill ,
and said
to
him, “
Man of God, the king declares
, ‘
Come down !’”
Then `the
king '
sent unto
him
a captain of
fifty
with his fifty. And
he
went up to him:
and
, behold,
he
was sitting on the
top of the
hill .
And he
spake
unto
him, O
man of God, the king hath
said
, Come down .
Elijah answered the captain, “
If I am
a man of God, may
fire come down from heaven and consume you
and your
fifty men
. ”
And fire
came down from heaven and consumed the
captain
and his fifty men
.
And
Elijah answered and
said
to
the captain of
fifty
, If I be
a man of God, let
fire come down from heaven ,
and consume thee
and thy
fifty. And there
came down fire
from heaven ,
and consumed him
and his fifty.
So
the
king
sent to
Elijah
another captain with
his fifty men
. And the
captain
said to
Elijah
, “
Man of God, the king declares
, ‘
Come down at
once!’”
And
again
he
sent unto
him
another captain of
fifty
and
his fifty. And he
answered
and
said unto
him
, O
man of God, thus
hath
the king said
, Come down quickly.
Again
Elijah replied
, “
If I am
a man of God, may
fire come down from heaven and consume you
and your
fifty men
. ”
And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed the
captain
and his fifty men
.
And
Elijah answered
and
said
unto
them
, If I be
a man of God, let
fire come down from heaven ,
and consume thee
and thy
fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven ,
and consumed him
and his fifty.
So
the
king
sent a third captain
with his fifty men
. And the third captain went up, fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged
him, “
Man of God, may
my life and the lives
of these fifty servants please
be precious in your
sight.
And
again
he
sent the
captain
of
a third fifty
with his fifty. And the third captain of
fifty
went up, and
came
and
fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought
him, and
said
unto
him,
O
man of God, I
pray
thee,
let
my life ,
and the life
of these fifty thy
servants ,
be precious in thy
sight.
Behold, fire has
come
down from heaven and consumed the first
two captains of fifty ,
with all
their men.
But now may
my life be precious in your
sight. ”
Behold, there
came
fire down from heaven ,
and consumed the two former
captains of fifty with their fifties;
but now let
my life be precious in thy
sight.
Then
the angel of the
LORD
said to
Elijah, “
Go down with him .
Do
not
be afraid of him. ”
So
Elijah
got
up
and went down with him to
the king.
And
the angel of Jehovah
said unto
Elijah, Go down with him :
be not
afraid of him. And he
arose,
and
went down with him unto
the king.
And Elijah
said to
King
Ahaziah
, “This
is
what
the
LORD
says:
Is
there
really
no
God
in
Israel
for
you
to
inquire
of
His
word?
Is
that
why
you
have
sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you
will
not get
up
from the bed on
which
you
are
lying.
You
will
surely die. ”
And he
said unto
him
, Thus
saith
Jehovah,
Forasmuch
as
thou
hast
sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron ,
is
it
because
there
is
no
God
in
Israel
to
inquire
of
his
word
? therefore thou
shalt
not come
down
from the bed whither
thou
art
gone
up,
but
shalt
surely die.
So Ahaziah
died according to the word of the
LORD
that
Elijah had spoken. And since
he
had
no
son,
Jehoram succeeded
him
in the second year of the
reign
of
Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat over
Judah.
So he
died according to the word of Jehovah
which
Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began
to
reign
in his
stead
in
the second year of Jehoram the
son of Jehoshaphat king
of
Judah ;
because
he
had
no
son
.
As
for
the rest of the acts of Ahaziah ,
along
with
his
accomplishments
, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Now
the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which
he
did
, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
