2 Kings 1:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ And he said to him, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron (was it not because there was no God in Israel to inquire of His Word?), therefore you shall not come down off the bed on which you have gone up but shall die the death.’”

¹⁷ So he died, according to the Word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram began to reign in his place, in the second year of Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, because he had no son.

¹⁸ Concerning the rest of the acts of Ahaziah, that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
