2 Kings 1:15-17

New International Version - UK

¹⁵ The angel of the Lord said to Elijah, ‘Go down with him; do not be afraid of him.’ So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.

¹⁶ He told the king, ‘This is what the Lord says: is it because there is no God in Israel for you to consult that you have sent messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!’ ¹⁷ So he died, according to the word of the Lord that Elijah had spoken.

Because Ahaziah had no son, Joram^[a] succeeded him as king in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah.
