RF KI2 1:1 (B.C. 896.) Ahaziah reigns over Israel, and Eliah foretells his death.—Moab revolts from Israel.
AFTER the death of Akhab, Moab revolted from Israel;
RF KI2 1:2 and Akhaziah lay sick at that time, in his chamber at Shomeron, and was anxious,—so he sent messengers to go and inquire from Bal-zebub, the GOD of Akron, "If I can revive from this illness?"
RF KI2 1:3 But a Messenger of the EVER-LIVING commanded Eliah, the Tishbite, "Arise! Go up to meet the Ambassadors of the King of Shomeron, and say to them;—"Is it because there is not a GOD in Israel that you go to inquire of Bal-zebub, the GOD of Akron?—
RF KI2 1:4 Consequently thus says the EVER-LIVING, 'From the bed that you are upon you shall not arise, for you shall die.'" Then Eliah departed.
RF KI2 1:5 When the messengers returned to him, he asked them, "Why have you returned?"
RF KI2 1:6 They answered him: "A man came up to meet us and said, 'Go Return to the king who sent you, and say to him, Thus asks the EVER-LIVING: Was it because there is no GOD in Israel that you sent to inquire of Bal-zebub, the GOD of Akron?—Therefore from the bed you lie upon you shall not arise; for you shall die!'"
RF KI2 1:7 Then he asked them, "What kind of a man was he who came up to meet you? And said these things to you?"
RF KI2 1:8 And they replied to him, "A man covered with hair, and belted with a leather belt round his waist." When he exclaimed, "It is Eliah the Tishbite."
RF KI2 1:9 Akhaziah orders Eliah to come to him. Eliah refuses.
He therefore sent to him a Captain of his Guards, who went up to him where he lived on the top of a. hill, and said, "MAN of GOD, the king commands you to come down."
RF KI2 1:10 But Eliah answered and said to the Captain of the Guards, "If I am a MAN of GOD, let fire come down from the skies, and devour you and your company." And fire came down from the skies and consumed him and his company.
RF KI2 1:11 Then again he sent to him another Captain of the Guards with his company, who spoke, and said to him, "MAN of GOD, the king asks you to descend from that hill."
RF KI2 1:12 But Eliah replied and said to them, "If I am a MAN of GOD, let fire descend from the skies and consume you and your company." When fire came down upon them from the skies and consumed him and his company!
RF KI2 1:13 But again he sent a third Captain of the Guards with his company, and the third went up and arrived, but he knelt on his knees before Eliah, and showed him respect, and said, "MAN of God! let my life and the lives of these servants of yours be precious in your sight!
RF KI2 1:14 For fire came down from the skies and consumed the two Captains and their companies,—but now let my life be precious in your eyes!"
RF KI2 1:15 Eliah commanded from the EVER-LIVING to visit the king.
Then the Messenger of the EVER-LIVING commanded Eliah, "Go down with him:—fear not for his presence." So he arose, and descended with him to the king,
RF KI2 1:16 and said to him, "Thus asks the EVER-LIVING, Why have you sent messengers to inquire of Bal-zebub, the GOD of Akron? Is it because there is no GOD in Israel to ask for His decision? Therefore from the bed upon which you are laid you shall not descend,—for you shall die!"
RF KI2 1:17 And he did die according to the word of Eliah, and Jehoram his brother began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram-ben-Jhoshafat king of Judah, for he had not a son.
RF KI2 1:18 As for the other things that Akhaziah did, they are written in the history of events of the period of the kings of Israel.
