Ahaziah’s Sickness and Death
1 After Ahab’s death, Moab(A) rebelled against Israel.(B) 2 Ahaziah(C) had fallen through the latticed window of his upstairs room in Samaria(D) and was injured. So he sent messengers, instructing them, ‘Go and enquire of Baal-zebub,[a](E) the god of Ekron,(F) whether I will recover from this injury.’(G)
3 But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite,(H) ‘Go and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria(I) and say to them, “Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to enquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? 4 Therefore, this is what the Lord says: You will not get up from your sick-bed; you will certainly die.” ’ Then Elijah left.
5 The messengers returned to the king, who asked them, ‘Why have you come back? ’
6 They replied, ‘A man came to meet us and said, “Go back to the king who sent you and declare to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you’re sending these men to enquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, you will not get up from your sick-bed; you will certainly die.’ ” ’
7 The king asked them, ‘What sort of man came up to meet you and spoke those words to you? ’
8 They replied, ‘A hairy man with a leather belt round his waist.’(J)
He said, ‘It’s Elijah the Tishbite.’(K)
9 So King Ahaziah sent a captain with his fifty men(L) to Elijah. When the captain went up to him, he was sitting on top of the hill. He announced, ‘Man of God,(M) the king declares, “Come down! ” ’
10 Elijah responded to the captain, ‘If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.’ Then fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.(N)
11 So the king sent another captain with his fifty men to Elijah. He took in the situation[b] and announced, ‘Man of God, this is what the king says: “Come down immediately! ” ’
12 Elijah responded, ‘If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.’ So a divine fire[c] came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.
13 Then the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. The third captain went up and fell on his knees in front of Elijah and begged him, ‘Man of God,(O) please let my life and the lives of these fifty servants of yours be precious to you.(P) 14 Already fire has come down from heaven and consumed the first two captains with their companies, but this time let my life be precious to you.’
15 The angel of the Lord(Q) said to Elijah, ‘Go down with him. Don’t be afraid of him.’(R) So he got up and went down with him to the king.
16 Then Elijah said to King Ahaziah, ‘This is what the Lord says: “Because you have sent messengers to enquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron – is it because there is no God in Israel for you to enquire of his will? – you will not get up from your sick-bed; you will certainly die.” ’
17 Ahaziah died according to the word of the Lord that Elijah had spoken. Since he had no son, Joram[d](S) became king in his place. This happened in the second year of Judah’s King Jehoram(T) son of Jehoshaphat.[e] 18 The rest of the events of Ahaziah’s reign, along with his accomplishments, are written in the Historical Record of Israel’s Kings.[f](U)

Muerte de Ocozías
1 Después de la muerte de Acab, se rebeló Moab contra Israel.
2 Y Ocozías cayó por la ventana de una sala de la casa que tenía en Samaria; y estando enfermo, envió mensajeros, y les dijo: Id y consultad a Baal-zebub dios de Ecrón, si he de sanar de esta mi enfermedad. 3 Entonces el ángel de Jehová habló a Elías tisbita, diciendo: Levántate, y sube a encontrarte con los mensajeros del rey de Samaria, y diles: ¿No hay Dios en Israel, que vais a consultar a Baal-zebub dios de Ecrón? 4 Por tanto, así ha dicho Jehová: Del lecho en que estás no te levantarás, sino que ciertamente morirás. Y Elías se fue.
5 Cuando los mensajeros se volvieron al rey, él les dijo: ¿Por qué os habéis vuelto? 6 Ellos le respondieron: Encontramos a un varón que nos dijo: Id, y volveos al rey que os envió, y decidle: Así ha dicho Jehová: ¿No hay Dios en Israel, que tú envías a consultar a Baal-zebub dios de Ecrón? Por tanto, del lecho en que estás no te levantarás; de cierto morirás. 7 Entonces él les dijo: ¿Cómo era aquel varón que encontrasteis, y os dijo tales palabras? 8 Y ellos le respondieron: Un varón que tenía vestido de pelo, y ceñía sus lomos con un cinturón de cuero.(A) Entonces él dijo: Es Elías tisbita.
9 Luego envió a él un capitán de cincuenta con sus cincuenta, el cual subió a donde él estaba; y he aquí que él estaba sentado en la cumbre del monte. Y el capitán le dijo: Varón de Dios, el rey ha dicho que desciendas. 10 Y Elías respondió y dijo al capitán de cincuenta: Si yo soy varón de Dios, descienda fuego del cielo, y consúmate con tus cincuenta.(B) Y descendió fuego del cielo, que lo consumió a él y a sus cincuenta.
11 Volvió el rey a enviar a él otro capitán de cincuenta con sus cincuenta; y le habló y dijo: Varón de Dios, el rey ha dicho así: Desciende pronto. 12 Y le respondió Elías y dijo: Si yo soy varón de Dios, descienda fuego del cielo, y consúmate con tus cincuenta.(C) Y descendió fuego del cielo, y lo consumió a él y a sus cincuenta.
13 Volvió a enviar al tercer capitán de cincuenta con sus cincuenta; y subiendo aquel tercer capitán de cincuenta, se puso de rodillas delante de Elías y le rogó, diciendo: Varón de Dios, te ruego que sea de valor delante de tus ojos mi vida, y la vida de estos tus cincuenta siervos. 14 He aquí ha descendido fuego del cielo, y ha consumido a los dos primeros capitanes de cincuenta con sus cincuenta; sea estimada ahora mi vida delante de tus ojos. 15 Entonces el ángel de Jehová dijo a Elías: Desciende con él; no tengas miedo de él. Y él se levantó, y descendió con él al rey. 16 Y le dijo: Así ha dicho Jehová: Por cuanto enviaste mensajeros a consultar a Baal-zebub dios de Ecrón, ¿no hay Dios en Israel para consultar en su palabra? No te levantarás, por tanto, del lecho en que estás, sino que de cierto morirás.
17 Y murió conforme a la palabra de Jehová, que había hablado Elías. Reinó en su lugar Joram, en el segundo año de Joram hijo de Josafat, rey de Judá; porque Ocozías no tenía hijo. 18 Los demás hechos de Ocozías, ¿no están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel?

The Lord’s Judgment on Ahaziah
1 After Ahab’s death, Moab(A) rebelled against Israel. 2 Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers,(B) saying to them, “Go and consult Baal-Zebub,(C) the god of Ekron,(D) to see if I will recover(E) from this injury.”
3 But the angel(F) of the Lord said to Elijah(G) the Tishbite, “Go up and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel(H) that you are going off to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?’ 4 Therefore this is what the Lord says: ‘You will not leave(I) the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!’” So Elijah went.
5 When the messengers returned to the king, he asked them, “Why have you come back?”
6 “A man came to meet us,” they replied. “And he said to us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him, “This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not leave(J) the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!”’”
7 The king asked them, “What kind of man was it who came to meet you and told you this?”
8 They replied, “He had a garment of hair[a](K) and had a leather belt around his waist.”
The king said, “That was Elijah the Tishbite.”
9 Then he sent(L) to Elijah a captain(M) with his company of fifty men. The captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on the top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king says, ‘Come down!’”
10 Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then fire(N) fell from heaven and consumed the captain and his men.
11 At this the king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. The captain said to him, “Man of God, this is what the king says, ‘Come down at once!’”
12 “If I am a man of God,” Elijah replied, “may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men!” Then the fire of God fell from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.
13 So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. This third captain went up and fell on his knees before Elijah. “Man of God,” he begged, “please have respect for my life(O) and the lives of these fifty men, your servants! 14 See, fire has fallen from heaven and consumed the first two captains and all their men. But now have respect for my life!”
15 The angel(P) of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid(Q) of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.
16 He told the king, “This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers(R) to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Because you have done this, you will never leave(S) the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!” 17 So he died,(T) according to the word of the Lord that Elijah had spoken.
Because Ahaziah had no son, Joram[b](U) succeeded him as king in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah. 18 As for all the other events of Ahaziah’s reign, and what he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Israel?
