Fewer Words Version: King Ahaziah of Israel was injured in a fall and sent messengers to ask Baalzebub if he would recover. An angel of God said to Elijah,
Go say to Ahaziah's messengers, "Don't we have a god of our own? Why are you asking Baalzebub?
This is what God says: “Ahaziah will die.”
When the messengers returned, they said to Ahaziah, "A man told us to say to you: You're going to die because you asked another god.”
Ahaziah said, “What did this man look like?”
The messengers answered, “He was a hairy man with a girdle around his loins.”
Ahaziah said, “He is Elijah!”
Elijah said to Ahaziah, "Since you sent messengers to ask Baalzebub, you will die."
So King Ahaziah died according to the word of God that Elijah spoke. 2 Kings 1:2-17
