2 Kings 1:6-8
New International Version - UK
6 ‘A man came to meet us,’ they replied. ‘And he said to us, “Go back to the king who sent you and tell him, ‘This is what the Lord says: is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!’”’
7 The king asked them, ‘What kind of man was it who came to meet you and told you this?’
8 They replied, ‘He had a garment of hair[a] and had a leather belt round his waist.’
The king said, ‘That was Elijah the Tishbite.’
