列王纪下 1:6

他們對王說:“有一個人上來迎著我們,又對我們說:‘去吧,回到那差派你們的王那裡,對他說:耶和華這樣說:你派人去求問以革倫的神巴力.西卜,是因為以色列中沒有 神嗎?因此,你必不能從你躺上去的那張床上下來,因為你必定死。’”

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

And 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,.... King Ahaziah:

and say unto him; and then they repeated all that is said by the angel to Elijah, and he had delivered to them, 2 Kings 1:3 and which was a sufficient reason for their turning back, since they got a full answer from a man of God, of what they were to inquire of at Ekron; which was, whether the king would recover of this disease or not.
