- Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
- Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, "Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover of this sickness."
- But the angel of Yahweh said to Elijah the Tishbite, "Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?
- Now therefore thus says Yahweh, "You shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die."'" Elijah departed.
- The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, "Why is it that you have returned?"
- They said to him, "A man came up to meet us, and said to us, 'Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, "Thus says Yahweh, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"'"
- He said to them, "What kind of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?"
- They answered him, "He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist." He said, "It is Elijah the Tishbite."
- Then [the king] sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, "Man of God, the king has said, 'Come down!'"
- Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty!" Fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
- Again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty. He answered him, "Man of God, the king has said, 'Come down quickly!'"
- Elijah answered them, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty!" The fire of God came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
- Again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, "Man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight.
- Behold, fire came down from the sky, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight."
- The angel of Yahweh said to Elijah, "Go down with him. Don't be afraid of him." He arose, and went down with him to the king.
- He said to him, "Thus says Yahweh, 'Because you have 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 you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.'"
- So he died according to the word of Yahweh which Elijah had spoken. 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.
- Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

- ויפשע מואב בישראל אחרי מות אחאב׃
- ויפל אחזיה בעד השבכה בעליתו אשר בשמרון ויחל וישלח מלאכים ויאמר אלהם לכו דרשו בבעל זבוב אלהי עקרון אם־אחיה מחלי זה׃ ס
- ומלאך יהוה דבר אל־אליה התשבי קום עלה לקראת מלאכי מלך־שמרון ודבר אלהם המבלי אין־אלהים בישראל אתם הלכים לדרש בבעל זבוב אלהי עקרון׃
- ולכן כה־אמר יהוה המטה אשר־עלית שם לא־תרד ממנה כי מות תמות וילך אליה׃
- וישובו המלאכים אליו ויאמר אליהם מה־זה שבתם׃
- ויאמרו אליו איש עלה לקראתנו ויאמר אלינו לכו שובו אל־המלך אשר־שלח אתכם ודברתם אליו כה אמר יהוה המבלי אין־אלהים בישראל אתה שלח לדרש בבעל זבוב אלהי עקרון לכן המטה אשר־עלית שם לא־תרד ממנה כי־מות תמות׃
- וידבר אלהם מה משפט האיש אשר עלה לקראתכם וידבר אליכם את־הדברים האלה׃
- ויאמרו אליו איש בעל שער ואזור עור אזור במתניו ויאמר אליה התשבי הוא׃
- וישלח אליו שר־חמשים וחמשיו ויעל אליו והנה ישב על־ראש ההר וידבר אליו איש האלהים המלך דבר רדה׃
- ויענה אליהו וידבר אל־שר החמשים ואם־איש אלהים אני תרד אש מן־השמים ותאכל אתך ואת־חמשיך ותרד אש מן־השמים ותאכל אתו ואת־חמשיו׃
- וישב וישלח אליו שר־חמשים אחר וחמשיו ויען וידבר אליו איש האלהים כה־אמר המלך מהרה רדה׃
- ויען אליה וידבר אליהם אם־איש האלהים אני תרד אש מן־השמים ותאכל אתך ואת־חמשיך ותרד אש־אלהים מן־השמים ותאכל אתו ואת־חמשיו׃
- וישב וישלח שר־חמשים שלשים וחמשיו ויעל ויבא שר־החמשים השלישי ויכרע על־ברכיו לנגד אליהו ויתחןן אליו וידבר אליו איש האלהים תיקר־נא נפשי ונפש עבדיך אלה חמשים בעיניך׃
- הנה ירדה אש מן־השמים ותאכל את־שני שרי החמשים הראשנים ואת־חמשיהם ועתה תיקר נפשי בעיניך׃ ס
- וידבר מלאך יהוה אל־אליהו רד אותו אל־תירא מפניו ויקם וירד אותו אל־המלך׃
- וידבר אליו כה־אמר יהוה יען אשר־שלחת מלאכים לדרש בבעל זבוב אלהי עקרון המבלי אין־אלהים בישראל לדרש בדברו לכן המטה אשר־עלית שם לא־תרד ממנה כי־מות תמות׃
- וימת כדבר יהוה אשר־דבר אליהו וימלך יהורם תחתיו ף בשנת שתים ליהורם בן־יהושפט מלך יהודה כי לא־היה לו בן׃
- ויתר דברי אחזיהו אשר עשה הלוא־המה כתובים על־ספר דברי הימים למלכי ישראל׃ ף

- Prævaricatus est autem Moab in Israël, postquam mortuus est Achab.
- Ceciditque Ochozias per cancellos cœnaculi sui, quod habebat in Samaria, et ægrotavit : misitque nuntios, dicens ad eos : Ite, consulite Beelzebub deum Accaron, utrum vivere queam de infirmitate mea hac.
- Angelus autem Domini locutus est ad Eliam Thesbiten, dicens : Surge, et ascende in occursum nuntiorum regis Samariæ, et dices ad eos : Numquid non est Deus in Israël, ut eatis ad consulendum Beelzebub deum Accaron ?
- Quam ob rem hæc dicit Dominus : De lectulo, super quem ascendisti, non descendes, sed morte morieris. Et abiit Elias.
- Reversique sunt nuntii ad Ochoziam. Qui dixit eis : Quare reversi estis ?
- At illi responderunt ei : Vir occurrit nobis, et dixit ad nos : Ite, et revertimini ad regem, qui misit vos, et dicetis ei : Hæc dicit Dominus : Numquid, quia non erat Deus in Israël, mittis ut consulatur Beelzebub deus Accaron ? Idcirco de lectulo, super quem ascendisti, non descendes, sed morte morieris.
- Qui dixit eis : Cujus figuræ et habitus est vir ille, qui occurrit vobis, et locutus est verba hæc ?
- At illi dixerunt : Vir pilosus, et zona pellicea accinctus renibus. Qui ait : Elias Thesbites est.
- Misitque ad eum quinquagenarium principem, et quinquaginta qui erant sub eo. Qui ascendit ad eum : sedentique in vertice montis, ait : Homo Dei, rex præcepit ut descendas.
- Respondensque Elias, dixit quinquagenario : Si homo Dei sum, descendat ignis de cælo, et devoret te, et quinquaginta tuos. Descendit itaque ignis de cælo, et devoravit eum, et quinquaginta qui erant cum eo.
- Rursumque misit ad eum principem quinquagenarium alterum, et quinquaginta cum eo. Qui locutus est illi : Homo Dei, hæc dicit rex : Festina, descende.
- Respondens Elias, ait : Si homo Dei ego sum, descendat ignis de cælo, et devoret te, et quinquaginta tuos. Descendit ergo ignis de cælo, et devoravit illum, et quinquaginta ejus.
- Iterum misit principem quinquagenarium tertium, et quinquaginta qui erant cum eo. Qui cum venisset, curvavit genua contra Eliam, et precatus est eum, et ait : Homo Dei, noli despicere animam meam, et animas servorum tuorum qui mecum sunt.
- Ecce descendit ignis de cælo, et devoravit duos principes quinquagenarios primos, et quinquagenos qui cum eis erant : sed nunc obsecro ut miserearis animæ meæ.
- Locutus est autem angelus Domini ad Eliam, dicens : Descende cum eo, ne timeas. Surrexit igitur, et descendit cum eo ad regem,
- et locutus est ei : Hæc dicit Dominus : Quia misisti nuntios ad consulendum Beelzebub deum Accaron, quasi non esset Deus in Israël, a quo posses interrogare sermonem, ideo de lectulo super quem ascendisti, non descendes, sed morte morieris.
- Mortuus est ergo juxta sermonem Domini, quem locutus est Elias, et regnavit Joram frater ejus pro eo, anno secundo Joram filii Josaphat regis Judæ : non enim habebat filium.
- Reliqua autem verborum Ochoziæ, quæ operatus est, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Israël ?

- Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
- And Ahaziah fell down through a 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 disease.
- But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron?
- Now 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.
- And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back?
- And 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 inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
- And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
- And 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.
- Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.
- And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then 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.
- Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
- 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.
- And he sent again a captain of the 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.
- Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
- And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
- And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
- So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
- 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?
