Book 12 2 Kings Chapter 001

 

001:001Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.

 

001:002And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber
that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and
said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron
whether I shall recover of this disease.

 

001:003But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise,
go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say
unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel,
that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?

 

001:004Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down
from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
And Elijah departed.

 

001:005And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto
them, Why are ye now turned back?

 

001:006And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and
said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and
say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is
not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub
the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that
bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

 

001:007And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up
to meet you, and told you these words?

 

001:008And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a
girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah
the Tishbite.

 

001:009Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty.
And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an
hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath
said, Come down.

 

001:010And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be
a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume
thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and
consumed him and his fifty.

 

001:011Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his
fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus
hath the king said, Come down quickly.

 

001:012And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God,
let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy
fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed
him and his fifty.

 

001:013And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty.
And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on
his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him,
O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these
fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.

 

001:014Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two
captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore
let my life now be precious in thy sight.

 

001:015And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him:
be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him
unto the king.

 

001:016And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou
hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron,
is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his
word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which
thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

 

001:017So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had
spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of
Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had
no son.

 

001:018Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not
written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
