2 Kings 1:6-8

The Voice

Samaritan Messengers: ⁶ A strange man met us during our journey and said, “Go back to the king whose message you carry, and give him this message from the Eternal: ‘Why are you going to ask Baal-zebub, Ekron’s god, about healing? Do you ask for this message because you believe Israel has no God of its own? You have made your bed, and you will lie in it. You will never leave your bed in your upper room; it will become your grave.’”

Ahaziah: ⁷ Tell me more about this strange man who met you and gave you this message. What was he like?

Samaritan Messengers: ⁸ The man was hairy and wore a leather belt.

Ahaziah: I know who this man is—Elijah the Tishbite!
