2 Kings 1:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁶ They answered him, ‘There came a man to meet us, who said to us, “Go back to the king who 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 shall not leave the bed to which you have gone, but shall surely die.”’ ⁷ He said to them, ‘What sort of man was he who came to meet you and told you these things?’ ⁸ They answered him, ‘A hairy man, with a leather belt around his waist.’ He said, ‘It is Elijah the Tishbite.’
