2 Kings 1:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁵ Then the angel of the Lord said to Elijah, ‘Go down with him; do not be afraid of him.’ So he set out and went down with him to the king, 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 leave the bed to which you have gone, but you shall surely die.’

Death of Ahaziah

¹⁷ So he died according to the word of the Lord that Elijah had spoken. His brother^[a] Jehoram succeeded him as king in the second year of King Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat of Judah, because Ahaziah had no son.
