Men HERRENS ängel hade talat så till tisbiten Elia: »Stå upp och gå emot konungens i Samaria sändebud och tala så till dem: 'Är det därför att ingen Gud finnes i Israel som I gån åstad och frågen Baal-Sebub, guden i Ekron?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But the angel of the Lord said unto Elijah,.... One of the ministering spirits sent by the Lord to him:

arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria: that is, the king of Israel, whose capital city was Samaria:

is it not because there is not a God in Israel; known, acknowledged, and worshipped there, of whom there had been sufficient proof of his deity and divine perfections, as omniscience, omnipotence, &c.

that ye go to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? about future things, when they had God nigh unto them, fully acquainted with them, as this message shows.
