2 Kings 1:15-17

English Standard Version Anglicised

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 ¹⁶ and said to him, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Because you have sent messengers to enquire of ^(A)Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron—is it because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word?—therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’”

¹⁷ So he died according to the word of the Lord that Elijah had spoken. Jehoram became king in his place ^(B)in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, because Ahaziah had no son.
