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."
