La Bibbia di Giovanni Diodati

2 Re 1:16

Ed egli gli disse: Così ha detto il Signore: Perciocchè tu hai mandati messi, per domandar Baal-zebub, dio di Ecron, come se non vi fosse alcun Dio in Israele, per domandar la sua parola, ecco, tu non iscenderai dal letto, sopra il quale tu sei salito; anzi, per certo tu morrai.

La Nuova Diodati
e gli disse: "Cos dice lEterno: "E perch non c alcun DIO in Israele, di cui si possa consultare la parola che tu hai mandato messaggeri da Baal-Zebub, il dio di Ekron? Per questo non scenderai dal letto sul quale sei salito, ma certamente morirai"".
Riveduta Bibbia
"Così dice l’Eterno: Poiché tu hai spediti de’ messi a consultar Baal-Zebub, dio d’Ekron, quasi che non ci fosse in Israele alcun Dio da poter consultare, perciò tu non scenderai dal letto sul quale sei salito, ma per certo morrai".

See note on Genesis 49:4. 2 Kings 5:21, Psalms 132:3
