2 Kings 1:4-6
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
4 Now therefore, thus says the Lord, “You shall not leave the bed to which you have gone, but you shall surely die.”’ So Elijah went.
5 The messengers returned to the king, who said to them, ‘Why have you returned?’ 6 They answered him, ‘There came a man to meet us, who 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 leave the bed to which you have gone, but shall surely die.”’
