Contextual Overview

¹ After Ahab died, Moab broke away from Israel's rule. ² Ahaziah fell down through the wooden bars in his upstairs room in Samaria and was badly hurt. He sent messengers and told them, "Go, ask Baal-Zebub, god of Ekron, if I will recover from my injuries." ³ But the Lord 's angel said to Elijah the Tishbite, "Go up and meet the messengers sent by the king of Samaria. Ask them, ‘Why are you going to ask questions of Baal-Zebub, god of Ekron? Is it because you think there is no God in Israel?' ⁴ This is what the Lord says: ‘You will never get up from the bed you are lying on; you will die.'" Then Elijah left. ⁵ When the messengers returned to Ahaziah, he asked them, "Why have you returned?" ⁶ They said, "A man came to meet us. He said, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him what the Lord says: "Why do you send messengers to ask questions of Baal-Zebub, god of Ekron? Is it because you think there is no God in Israel? You will never get up from the bed you are lying on; you will die."'" ⁷ Ahaziah asked them, "What did the man look like who met you and told you this?" ⁸ They answered, "He was a hairy man and wore a leather belt around his waist." Ahaziah said, "It was Elijah the Tishbite."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Now therefore thus saith the Lord,.... Jehovah, the only true God:

thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shall surely die; this sickness should be unto death, and the bed he had betaken himself to should be his deathbed. The phrases of going up to bed, and coming down, are used with great propriety; for in the eastern countries, in their bedchambers, they had a gallery raised four or five feet above the floor, with a balustrade on the front d, and steps leading up to it; or ladders, which had more or fewer rounds, according as the beds were higher or lower e:

and Elijah departed; having met the messengers, and delivered his message from the Lord unto them.

d See Dr. Shaw's Travels, p. 209. Ed. 2. e Vid. Isidor. Origin. l. 20. c. 11. & Alstorph. de Lect. Vet. c. 2.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 1:4. But shalt surely die. — The true God tells you this; he in whose hands are both life and death, who can kill and make alive. Baal-zebub can do nothing; God has determined that your master shall die.
