| 2 Kings 1:1 |
|
And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death
of Ahab. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:2 |
|
And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in
his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and
said unto them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover
of this sickness. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:3 |
|
But the angel of Jehovah said to Elijah the
Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say
unto them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub,
the god of Ekron? |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:4 |
|
Now therefore thus saith Jehovah, Thou shalt
not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And
Elijah departed. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:5 |
|
And the messengers returned unto him, and he
said unto them, Why is it that ye are returned? |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:6 |
|
And they said unto him, There came up a man
to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and
say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that
thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt
not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:7 |
|
And he said unto them, What manner of man was
he that came up to meet you, and told you these words? |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:8 |
|
And they answered him, He was a hairy man, and
girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:9 |
|
Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty
with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he was sitting on the top
of the hill. And he spake unto him, O man of God, the king hath said, Come down.
|
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:10 |
|
And Elijah answered and said to the captain
of fifty, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee
and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his
fifty. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:11 |
|
And again he sent unto him another captain of
fifty and his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath
the king said, Come down quickly. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:12 |
|
And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I
be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty.
And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:13 |
|
And again he sent the captain of a third fifty
with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his
knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray
thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy
sight. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:14 |
|
Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and
consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties; but now let my life
be precious in thy sight. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:15 |
|
And the angel of Jehovah said unto Elijah, Go
down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto
the king. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:16 |
|
And he said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Forasmuch
as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, is it
because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt
not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:17 |
|
So he died according to the word of Jehovah
which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his stead in the second
year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son. |
|
|
|
| 2 Kings 1:18 |
|
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he
did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
