Chapter 1

4Now therefore, this is what the Lord says: ‘ You will not get down from the bed upon which you have lain, but you shall certainly die.’?' Then Elijah departed.
5When the messengers returned to Ahaziah, he said to them, 'Why have you returned?' 6They said to him, 'A man came up to meet us and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you and say to him, 'This is what the Lord says: ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get down from the bed upon which you have lain, but you shall certainly die.’?'?’?' 7Then he said to them, 'What did the man look like, who came up to meet you and spoke these words to you?' 8And they said to him, 'He was a hairy man with a leather belt worn around his waist.' And he said, 'It is Elijah the Tishbite.'
King James Version

4Now therefore thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.
5And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back? 6And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. 7And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words? 8And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.

Therefore, you will not get up from your sickbed; you will certainly die.’"

6They replied, 'A man came up to us and told us to go back to the king and give him this message. ‘This is what the Lord says: Is there no God in Israel? Why are you sending men to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, to ask whether you will recover? Therefore, because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you are lying on; you will surely die.’'
7What sort of man was he?' the king demanded. 'What did he look like?'
