King James Version
And
Moab transgresseth
against Israel after the death of Ahab ,
Then
Moab rebelled
against Israel after the death of Ahab .
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
. '
And Ahaziah fell
down
through a
lattice in his upper chamber that was
in Samaria, and was
sick :
and he
sent
messengers, and said
unto them, Go, enquire
of Baalzebub
the
god of Ekron whether
I shall
recover of
this disease
.
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?
But
the
angel
of the
LORD
said
to
Elijah the Tishbite, Arise
, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say
unto them, Is it not
because there is not a God in Israel ,
that
ye go
to enquire
of Baalzebub
the
god of Ekron?
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
.
Now
therefore thus saith
the LORD
, Thou shalt
not come down from that
bed
on
which
thou art
gone
up,
but
shalt
surely
die .
And Elijah departed
.
And the messengers turn
back unto him, and
he saith
unto them, `What
`is'
this
--
ye have
turned back !'
And when
the messengers turned
back unto him, he said
unto them, Why
are
ye now
turned back ?
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. '
And they said
unto him, There
came
a man up to meet us, and said
unto us, Go, turn again
unto the king that
sent you, and say
unto him, Thus saith
the
LORD
, Is it not
because there is not a God in Israel ,
that
thou sendest
to enquire
of Baalzebub
the
god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt
not come down from that
bed
on
which
thou art
gone
up,
but
shalt
surely
die.
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? '
And he said
unto them, What manner
of man was
he
which
came
up to meet you, and told
you these words?
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. '
And they answered
him, He
was
an
hairy man
, and girt
with
a girdle of leather
about his loins .
And he said
, It
is Elijah the Tishbite.
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. '
Then
the
king
sent
unto him a captain
of fifty with
his fifty .
And he went
up to
him :
and, behold,
he sat
on the top of an
hill .
And he spake
unto him, Thou
man of God, the king hath said
, Come down.
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.
And Elijah answered
and said
to
the captain
of fifty, If I be
a man of God, then
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.
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
also
he sent
unto him another captain
of fifty with
his fifty .
And he answered
and said
unto him, O man of God, thus hath
the king said
, Come down quickly
.
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.
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.
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
.
And he sent
again
a captain
of the
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
.
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
. '
Behold
, there
came
fire down
from heaven
, and burnt
up
the two captains
of the former fifties with
their fifties :
therefore
let my life
now
be precious in thy
sight
.
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 the
angel
of the
LORD
said
unto Elijah, Go down with him :
be not afraid of him .
And he arose,
and went
down with him unto the king .
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. '
And he
said
unto him, Thus saith
the
LORD
, Forasmuch
as
thou hast sent messengers to enquire
of Baalzebub
the
god of Ekron ,
is it not
because there is no
God in Israel to enquire
of his word? therefore thou shalt
not come down off
that
bed
on
which
thou art
gone
up,
but
shalt
surely
die.
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.
So
he died
according to the word of the
LORD
which
Elijah had
spoken.
And Jehoram reigned
in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the
son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah ;
because
he had no son.
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?
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?
