3 But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the[2] Tishbite, "[3] Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?'

4 Therefore this is what the LORD says: 'You [Ahaziah] will not leave the bed on which you lie, but you will certainly die.'" So Elijah departed.

5 When the messengers returned to Ahaziah, he said to them, "Why have you returned [so soon]?"
