Chapter 1

KJV - 2 Kings 1:16

And 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.

He said, "The Lord speaks: Since you asked Baalzebub, the god of Ekron, for guidance instead of seeking Him in Israel, there is no chance for you. You must not leave this bed you're on; you will definitely die."
