2 Kings 1:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ And they said to him, “A man came up to meet us and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king that sent you and say to him: Thus says the Lord: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of Baal-Zebub the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not come down from the bed on which you have gone up, but you will surely die.’ ”

⁷ He said to them, “What sort of man was he who came up to meet you and told you these things?”

⁸ They answered him, “He was a hairy man with a leather belt around his waist.”

He said, “It was Elijah the Tishbite.”
