2 Kings 1:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ They said to him, “A man met us and said, ‘Go back to the king who sent you. Say to him, This is what the Lord says: Is it because there’s no God in Israel that you’ve come to question Ekron’s god Baal-zebub? Because of this, you will never get out of the bed you are lying in; you will die for sure!’”

⁷ Ahaziah said to them, “Describe the man who met you and said these things.”

⁸ They said to him, “He wore clothes made of hair^[a] with a leather belt around his waist.”

Ahaziah said, “That was Elijah from Tishbe.”
