1:1 After
the
death
of
Ahab,
Moab
rebelled
against
Israel.
1:2 Now
Ahaziah
fell
through
the
lattice
in
his
upper
chamber
in
Samaria,
and
lay
sick;
so
he
sent
messengers,
telling
them,
"Go,
inquire
of
Baal-zebub,
the
god
of
Ekron,
whether
I
shall
recover
from
this
sickness."
1:3 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
to
them,
'Is
it
because
there
is
no
God
in
Israel
that
you
are
going
to
inquire
of
Baal-zebub,
the
god
of
Ekron
1:4 Now
therefore
thus
says
the
LORD,
You
shall
not
come
down
from
the
bed
to
which
you
have
gone
up,
but
you
shall
surely
die.'"
So
Elijah
went.
1:5 The
messengers
returned
to
the
king,
and
he
said
to
them,
"Why
have
you
returned"
1:6 And
they
said
to
him,
"There
came
a
man
to
meet
us,
and
said
to
us,
'Go
back
to
the
king
who
sent
you,
and
say
to
him,
Thus
says
the
LORD,
Is
it
because
there
is
no
God
in
Israel
that
you
are
sending
to
inquire
of
Baal-zebub,
the
god
of
Ekron
Therefore
you
shall
not
come
down
from
the
bed
to
which
you
have
gone
up,
but
you
shall
surely
die.'"
1:7 He
said
to
them,
"What
kind
of
man
was
he
who
came
to
meet
you
and
told
you
these
things"
1:8 They
answered
him,
"He
wore
a
garment
of
hair,
with
a
belt
of
leather
about
his
waist."
And
he
said,
"It
is
Elijah
the
Tishbite."
1:9 Then
the
king
sent
to
him
a
captain
of
fifty
men
with
his
fifty.
He
went
up
to
Elijah,
who
was
sitting
on
the
top
of
a
hill,
and
said
to
him,
"O
man
of
God,
the
king
says,
'Come
down.'"
1:10 But
Elijah
answered
the
captain
of
fifty,
"If
I
am
a
man
of
God,
let
fire
come
down
from
heaven
and
consume
you
and
your
fifty."
Then
fire
came
down
from
heaven
and
consumed
him
and
his
fifty.
1:11 Again
the
king
sent
to
him
another
captain
of
fifty
men
with
his
fifty.
And
he
answered
and
said
to
him,
"O
man
of
God,
this
is
the
king's
order,
'Come
down
quickly!'"
1:12 But
Elijah
answered
them,
"If
I
am
a
man
of
God,
let
fire
come
down
from
heaven
and
consume
you
and
your
fifty."
Then
the
fire
of
God
came
down
from
heaven
and
consumed
him
and
his
fifty.
1:13 Again
the
king
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
entreated
him,
"O
man
of
God,
please
let
my
life,
and
the
life
of
these
fifty
servants
of
yours,
be
precious
in
your
sight.
1:14 Behold,
fire
came
down
from
heaven
and
consumed
the
two
former
captains
of
fifty
men
with
their
fifties,
but
now
let
my
life
be
precious
in
your
sight."
1:15 Then
the
angel
of
the
LORD
said
to
Elijah,
"Go
down
with
him;
do
not
be
afraid
of
him."
So
he
arose
and
went
down
with
him
to
the
king
1:16 and
said
to
him,
"Thus
says
the
LORD,
'Because
you
have
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
you
shall
not
come
down
from
the
bed
to
which
you
have
gone
up,
but
you
shall
surely
die.'"
1:17 So
he
died
according
to
the
word
of
the
LORD
that
Elijah
had
spoken.
Jehoram
became
king
in
his
place
in
the
second
year
of
Jehoram
the
son
of
Jehoshaphat,
king
of
Judah,
because
Ahaziah
had
no
son.
1:18 Now
the
rest
of
the
acts
of
Ahaziah
that
he
did,
are
they
not
written
in
the
Book
of
the
Chronicles
of
the
Kings
of
Israel
