1:1 And
Moab
rebelled
against
Israel
after
the
death
of
Ahab.
1:2 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.
1:3 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
1:4 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.
1:5 And
the
messengers
returned
unto
him,
and
he
said
unto
them,
Why
is
it
that
ye
are
returned
1:6 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.
1:7 And
he
said
unto
them,
What
manner
of
man
was
he
that
came
up
to
meet
you,
and
told
you
these
words
1:8 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.
1:9 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.
1:10 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.
1:11 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.
1:12 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.
1:13 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.
1:14 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.
1:15 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.
1:16 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.
1:17 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.
1:18 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
