2 Kings 1:1 (MSG) Message Bible

1 After Ahab died, Moab rebelled against Israel.
2 One day Ahaziah fell through the balcony railing on the rooftop of his house in Samaria and was injured. He sent messengers off to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, "Am I going to recover from this accident?"
3 GOD's angel spoke to Elijah the Tishbite: "Up on your feet! Go out and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria with this word, 'Is it because there's no God in Israel that you're running off to consult Baal-Zebub god of Ekron?'
4 Here's a message from the GOD you've tried to bypass: 'You're not going to get out of that bed you're in--you're as good as dead already.'" Elijah delivered the message and was gone.
5 The messengers went back. The king said, "So why are you back so soon--what's going on?"
6 They told him, "A man met us and said, 'Turn around and go back to the king who sent you; tell him, GOD's message: Is it because there's no God in Israel that you're running off to consult Baal-Zebub god of Ekron? You needn't bother. You're not going to get out of that bed you're in--you're as good as dead already.'"
7 The king said, "Tell me more about this man who met you and said these things to you. What was he like?"
8 "Shaggy," they said, "and wearing a leather belt." He said, "That has to be Elijah the Tishbite!"
9 The king sent a captain with fifty men to Elijah. Meanwhile Elijah was sitting, big as life, on top of a hill. The captain said, "O Holy Man! King's orders: Come down!"
10 Elijah answered the captain of the fifty, "If it's true that I'm a 'holy man,' lightning strike you and your fifty men!" Out of the blue lightning struck and incinerated the captain and his fifty.
11 The king sent another captain with his fifty men, "O Holy Man! King's orders: Come down. And right now!"
12 Elijah answered, "If it's true that I'm a 'holy man,' lightning strike you and your fifty men!" Immediately a divine lightning bolt struck and incinerated the captain and his fifty.
13 The king then sent a third captain with his fifty men. For a third time, a captain with his fifty approached Elijah. This one fell on his knees in supplication: "O Holy Man, have respect for my life and the souls of these fifty men!
14 Twice now lightning from out of the blue has struck and incinerated captains with their fifty men; please, I beg you, respect my life!"
15 The angel of GOD told Elijah, "Go ahead; and don't be afraid." Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.
16 Elijah told him, "GOD's word: Because you sent messengers to consult Baal-Zebub the god of Ekron, as if there were no God in Israel to whom you could pray, you'll never get out of that bed alive--already you're as good as dead."
17 And he died, exactly as GOD's word spoken by Elijah had said. Because Ahaziah had no son, his brother Joram became the next king. The succession took place in the second year of the reign of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah.
18 The rest of Ahaziah's life is recorded in The Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.

3 But the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS said H1696 VPQ3MS to H413 PREP Elijah H452 the Tishbite H8664 , Arise H6965 VQI2MS , go up H5927 to meet H7125 L-VQFC the messengers H4397 of the king H4428 NMS of Samaria H8111 , and say H1696 unto H413 PREP them , Is it not because H1097 there is not H369 NPAR a God H430 EDP in Israel H3478 , that ye H859 PPRO-2MS go H1980 to inquire H1875 L-VQFC of Baal H1176 - zebub the god H430 NAME-4MP of Ekron H6138 ?
4 Now therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , Thou shalt not H3808 ADV come down H3381 from H4480 M-PREP-3FS that bed H4296 on which H834 RPRO thou art gone up H5927 , but H3588 CONJ shalt surely die H4191 VQFA . And Elijah H452 departed H1980 W-VQY3MS .
5 And when the messengers H4397 turned back H7725 unto H413 PREP-3MS him , he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MP them , Why H4100 IPRO are ye now H2088 PMS turned back H7725 ?
6 And they said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , There came H5927 a man H376 NMS up H5927 to meet H7125 us , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP us , Go H1980 VQI2MP , turn again H7725 unto H413 PREP the king H4428 D-NMS that H834 RPRO sent H7971 VQQ3MS you , and say H1696 unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Thus H3541 saith H559 W-VQY3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , Is it not because H1097 there is not H369 NPAR a God H430 EDP in Israel H3478 , that thou H859 PPRO-2MS sendest H7971 to inquire H1875 L-VQFC of Baal H1176 - zebub the god H430 NAME-4MP of Ekron H6138 ? therefore H3651 L-ADV thou shalt not H3808 ADV come down H3381 from H4480 M-PREP-3FS that bed H4296 on which H834 RPRO thou art gone up H5927 , but H3588 CONJ shalt surely die H4191 VQFA .
7 And he said H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS them , What H4100 IPRO manner H4941 CMS of man H376 D-NMS was he which H834 RPRO came up H5927 to meet H7125 you , and told H1696 W-VPY3MS you these H428 words H1697 AMP ?
8 And they answered H559 W-VQY3MP him , He was a hairy man H376 NMS , and girt H247 with a girdle H232 of leather H5785 NMS about his loins H4975 . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , It H1931 PPRO-3MS is Elijah H452 the Tishbite H8664 .
9 Then the king sent H7971 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him a captain H8269 of fifty H2572 MMP with his fifty H2572 . And he went up H5927 W-VHY3MS to H413 PREP-3MS him : and , behold H2009 IJEC , he sat H3427 VQPMS on H5921 PREP the top H7218 NMS of a hill H2022 . And he spoke H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Thou man H376 NMS of God H430 D-NAME-4MP , the king H4428 D-NMS hath said H1696 VPQ3MS , Come down H3381 .
10 And Elijah H452 answered H6030 and said H1696 W-VPY3MS to H413 PREP the captain H8269 of fifty H2572 , If H518 W-PART I H589 PPRO-1MS be a man H376 NMS of God H430 EDP , then let fire H784 CMS come down H3381 from H4480 PREP heaven H8064 D-NMD , and consume H398 thee and thy fifty H2572 . And there came down H3381 fire H784 CMS from H4480 PREP heaven H8064 D-NMD , and consumed H398 W-VQY3FS him and his fifty H2572 .
11 Again H7725 also he sent H7971 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him another H312 AMS captain H8269 of fifty H2572 MMP with his fifty H2572 . And he answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , O man H376 NMS of God H430 D-EDP , thus H3541 hath the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 VQQ3MS , Come down H3381 quickly H4120 .
12 And Elijah H452 answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MP them , If H518 PART I H589 PPRO-1MS be a man H376 NMS of God H430 NAME-4MP , let fire H784 CMS come down H3381 from H4480 PREP heaven H8064 D-NMD , and consume H398 thee and thy fifty H2572 . And the fire H784 CMS of God H430 EDP came down H3381 from H4480 PREP heaven H8064 D-NMD , and consumed H398 W-VQY3FS him and his fifty H2572 .
13 And he sent H7971 W-VQY3MS again H7725 a captain H8269 of the third H7992 fifty H2572 MMP with his fifty H2572 . And the third H7992 D-ONUM captain H8269 of fifty H2572 went up H5927 W-VHY3MS , and came H935 W-VQY3MS and fell H3766 on H5921 PREP his knees H1290 before H5048 L-PREP Elijah H452 , and besought H2603 him , and said H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , O man H376 NMS of God H430 D-NAME-4MP , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , let my life H5315 W-GFS , and the life H5315 W-GFS of these H428 PMP fifty H2572 MMP thy servants H5650 , be precious H3365 in thy sight H5869 .
14 Behold H2009 IJEC , there came fire down H3381 from H4480 PREP heaven H8064 D-NMD , and burnt up H398 W-VQY3FS the two H8147 ONUM captains H8269 CMP of the former H7223 fifties H2572 with their fifties H2572 : therefore let my life H5315 CFS-1MS now H6258 W-ADV be precious H3365 in thy sight H5869 .
15 And the angel H4397 of the LORD H3068 EDS said H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP Elijah H452 , Go down H3381 with H854 him : be not afraid H3372 of M-CMP-3MS him . And he arose H6965 W-VQY3MS , and went down H3381 W-VQY3MS with H854 him unto H413 PREP the king H4428 .
16 And he said H1696 W-VPY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS , Forasmuch as ADV thou hast sent H7971 messengers H4397 to inquire H1875 L-VQFC of Baal H1176 - zebub the god H430 NAME-4MP of Ekron H6138 , is it not because H1097 there is no H369 NPAR God H430 EDP in Israel H3478 to inquire H1875 L-VQFC of his word H1697 ? therefore H3651 L-ADV thou shalt not H3808 ADV come down H3381 off H4480 M-PREP-3FS that bed H4296 on which H834 RPRO thou art gone up H5927 , but H3588 CONJ shalt surely die H4191 VQFA .
17 So he died H4191 W-VQY3MS according to the word H1697 K-NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS which H834 RPRO Elijah H452 had spoken H1696 VPQ3MS . And Jehoram H3088 reigned H4427 in his stead H8478 PREP-3MS in the second H8147 MFD year H8141 B-CFS of Jehoram H3088 the son H1121 NMS of Jehoshaphat H3092 King H4428 NMS of Judah H3063 : because H3588 CONJ he had H1961 VQQ3MS no H3808 ADV son H1121 NMS .
18 Now the rest H3499 of the acts H1697 CMP of Ahaziah H274 which H834 RPRO he did H6213 VQQ3MS are they H1992 PPRO-3MP not H3808 written H3789 in H5921 PREP the book H5612 CMS of the chronicles H1697 CMP of the kings H4428 of Israel H3478 LMS ?
