2 Kings 1:15-17

International Standard Version

¹⁵ The angel of the Lord told Elijah, “Go down the hill with that man. Don’t be afraid of him!” So Elijah^[a] got up and went down with him to meet the king.

¹⁶ Then Elijah spoke to the king, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Since you sent messengers to consult with Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron—is it because there is no God in Israel with whom to consult regarding his word?—therefore you’re not getting up from the bed on which you’re lying. You certainly will die!’” ¹⁷ And die he did, just as the Lord had said and just as Elijah had spoken!

After this, Jehoram ascended to the throne during the second year of the reign of Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram from Judah. He took the place of Ahaziah, who had no son.
