2 Kings 1:15-17

New Catholic Bible

¹⁵ The angel of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So he went down with him to the king. ¹⁶ He said to the king, “Thus says the Lord: Is it because there is no God in Israel of whom you can inquire that you have sent messengers to make inquiry of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Because of this, you shall not rise from the bed on which you lie. You will surely die!”

¹⁷ He died, fulfilling the word of the Lord that Elijah had proclaimed. Because he had no son, Joram reigned in his stead during the second year of the reign of Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah.
