Young's Literal Translation
After the death of Ahab, Moab
rebelled
against
Israel.
And
Moab
transgresseth
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 falleth
through the lattice in
his upper chamber
that
`is'
in Samaria ,
and is
sick,
and
sendeth
messengers ,
and saith
unto
them ,
`
Go ye,
inquire of Baal-Zebub god of Ekron if
I recover from 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? ’
And
a
messenger
of Jehovah
hath
spoken
unto
Elijah the Tishbite, `Rise,
go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria ,
and speak
unto
them, Is it because there is not
a
God in Israel --
ye
are going
to inquire of Baal Zebub 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
.
and
therefore ,
thus
said
Jehovah,
The bed
whither
thou
hast
gone
up ,
thou
dost
not
come
down
from it,
for
thou
dost
certainly
die ;'
and
Elijah goeth
on
.
When
the messengers returned
to
the
king
, he asked
them, “Why
have you
returned?”
And
the messengers turn
back
unto
him
, and
he saith
unto
them, `What
`is'
this
--
ye
have turned
back!'
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 say
unto
him
, `
A man hath
come
up to meet us ,
and saith
unto
us
, Go ,
turn
back unto
the king who sent you ,
and ye
have
said
unto
him ,
Thus
said
Jehovah,
Is it because there is not
a
God in Israel --
thou
art
sending to inquire of Baal-Zebub god of Ekron? therefore ,
the bed whither
thou
hast
gone
up,
thou
dost
not
come
down
from
it,
for
thou
dost
certainly
die. '
The
king
asked
them, “
What sort
of man came
up to meet you and spoke
these words to
you
? ”
And
he
saith
unto
them, `
What `is'
the
fashion
of the
man who
hath
come
up to meet you ,
and speaketh
unto
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
say
unto
him,
`
A man --
hairy
, and
a girdle
of
skin
girt
about
his loins;'
and
he
saith,
`He
`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 !’”
And
he
sendeth
unto
him
a head
of fifty and
his
fifty,
and
he
goeth
up unto
him
(and
lo
, he
is
sitting on the
top of the
hill )
, and he
speaketh
unto
him, `O
man of God, the king hath
spoken
, 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 answereth
and
speaketh
unto
the head
of
the
fifty
, `And
if I `
am '
a man of God, fire doth
come down from the
heavens,
and consume thee
and thy
fifty ;'
and fire cometh
down from the heavens,
and consumeth
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
he
turneth
and
sendeth
unto
him
another head
of
fifty
and
his fifty ,
and he
answereth
and
speaketh
unto
him
, `O
man of God, thus
said
the king, Haste,
come down .'
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 answereth
and
speaketh
unto
them
, `
If I `
am '
a man of God, fire doth
come down from the
heavens,
and consume thee
and thy
fifty ;'
and fire of God cometh
down from the heavens,
and consumeth
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
he
turneth
and
sendeth
a third head
of
fifty
and
his fifty ,
and the third head
of
fifty
goeth
up, and
cometh
in,
and
boweth
on his knees over-against
Elijah, and maketh
supplication
unto
him, and
speaketh
unto
him,
`O
man of God, let
be
precious,
I
pray
thee,
my soul
and the soul
of thy
servants
--
these fifty --
in thine
eyes
.
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
. ”
Lo
, come down hath
fire
from the
heavens,
and consumeth
the two heads
of the
former
fifties
and
their fifties;
and,
now ,
let
my soul
be precious in thine
eyes
. '
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
a
messenger
of Jehovah
speaketh
unto
Elijah, `
Go down with him ,
be not
afraid of him ;'
and he
riseth
and
goeth
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 speaketh
unto
him,
`Thus
said Jehovah
, Because
that thou
hast
sent messengers to inquire of Baal-Zebub god of Ekron --
is
it
because
there
is
not
a
God
in
Israel
to
inquire
of
His
word
? therefore ,
the bed whither
thou
hast
gone
up
--
thou
dost
not
come
down
from
it,
for
thou
dost
certainly
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.
And
he
dieth,
according to the word of Jehovah
that Elijah spake
, and
Jehoram reigneth
in his
stead,
in
the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king
of
Judah ,
for
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?
And
the rest of the matters
of Ahaziah that
he
did
, are they not written on
the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
