1After Achav's death, Moab rebelled against Yisrael.

2Achazyahu fell through the lattice in his upper chamber at Shomron and was injured. So he sent messengers, whom he instructed: “Go inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this injury.”

3But an angel of Hashem said to Eliyahu the Tishbite, “Go and confront the messengers of the king of Shomron and say to them, ‘Is there no Hashem in Yisrael that you go to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?

4Assuredly, thus said Hashem: You shall not rise from the bed you are lying on, but you shall die.'” And Eliyahu went.

5The messengers returned to Achazyahu; and he asked, “Why have you come back?”

6They answered him, “A man came toward us and said to us, ‘Go back to the king who sent you, and say to him: Thus said Hashem: Is there no Hashem in Yisrael that you must send to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Assuredly, you shall not rise from the bed you are lying on, but shall die.'”

7“What sort of man was it,” he asked them, “who came toward you and said these things to you?”

8“A hairy man,” they replied, “with a leather belt tied around his waist.” “That's Eliyahu the Tishbite!” he said.

9Then he sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty men. He climbed up to him, and found him sitting at the top of a hill. “Man of Hashem,” he said to him, “by order of the king, come down!”

10Eliyahu replied to the captain of the fifty, “If I am a man of Hashem, let fire come down from heaven and consume you with your fifty men!” And fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.

11The king then sent to him another captain with his fifty men; and he addressed him as follows: “Man of Hashem, by order of the king, come down at once!”

12But Eliyahu answered him, “If I am a man of Hashem, let fire come down from heaven and consume you with your fifty men!” And fire of Hashem came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.

13Then he sent a third captain of fifty with his fifty men. The third captain of fifty climbed to the top, knelt before Eliyahu, and implored him, saying, “Oh, man of Hashem, please have regard for my life and the lives of these fifty servants of yours!

14Already fire has come from heaven and consumed the first two captains of fifty and their men; I beg you, have regard for my life!”

15Then the angel of Hashem said to Eliyahu, “Go down with him, do not be afraid of him.” So he rose and went down with him to the king.

16He said to him, “Because you sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron—as if there were no Hashem in Yisrael whose word you could seek—assuredly, you shall not rise from the bed which you are lying on; but you shall die.”

17And [Achazyahu] died, according to the word of Hashem that Eliyahu had spoken. Yehoram succeeded him as king, in the second year of King Yehoram son of Yehoshafat of Yehuda, for he had no son.
