II Kings

Chapter 1

1 Then Moab rebelled against Israel
after the death of Ahab.

2 And Ahaziah fell down
through a lattice in his upper chamber
that was in Samaria, and was sick
and he sent messengers, and said unto them,
Go, inquire of Baal-Zebub,
the god of Ekron
whether I shall recover of this disease.

3 But the angel/messenger {mal'ak}
of Jehovah/God
  {Christophany - Jesus Christ}
said to Elijah the Tishbite,
Arise, go up to meet the messengers {mal'ak}
of the king of Samaria,
and say unto them,
Is it not because
there is not a 'Elohiym/Godhead in Israel,
that you go to inquire of Baal-Zebub
  {Ba`al Z@buwb - name means 'Lord of the Fly'}
the 'elohiym/gods of Ekron?

4 Now therefore thus said Jehovah/God,
you shall not come down from that bed
on which you are gone up, but shall surely die.

And Elijah departed.

5 And when the messengers turned back unto him,
he said unto them,
Why are you now turned back?

6 And they said unto him,
There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us,
Go, turn again unto the king who sent you,
and say unto him,
Thus said Jehovah/God,
Is it not because there is not a 'Elohiym/Godhead in Israel,
that you send to inquire of Baal-Zebub
the 'elohiym/gods of Ekron?

Therefore you shall not come down from that bed
on which you are gone up,
but shall surely die.

7 And he said unto them,
What manner of man was he which came up to meet you,
and told you these words?

8 And they answered him,
He was an hairy man,
and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins.

And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.

9 Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty.

And he went up to him
and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill.

And he spoke unto him,
you man of 'Elohiym/Godhead,
the king have said, Come down.

10 And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty,
If I be a man of 'Elohiym/Godhead,
then let fire come down from heaven,
and consume you and your fifty.

And there came down fire from heaven,
and consumed him and his fifty.

11 Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty.

And he answered and said unto him,
O man of 'Elohiym/Godhead,
thus have the king said, Come down quickly.

12 And Elijah answered and said unto them,
If I be a man of 'Elohiym/Godhead,
let fire come down from heaven,
and consume you and your fifty.

And the fire of 'Elohiym/Godhead
came down from heaven,
and consumed him and his fifty.

13 And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty.

And the third captain of fifty went up,
and came and fell on his knees before Elijah,
and besought him, and said unto him,
O man of 'Elohiym/Godhead, I pray you, let my life,
and the life of these fifty your servants,
be precious in your sight.

14 Behold, there came fire down from heaven,
and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties
therefore let my life now be precious in your sight.

15 And the angel/messenger of Jehovah/God said unto Elijah,
Go down with him . . .
be not afraid of him.

And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.

16 And he said unto him, Thus said Jehovah/God,
Forasmuch as you have sent messengers
to inquire of Baal-Zebub the 'elohiym/gods of Ekron,
is it not because there is no 'Elohiym/Godhead in Israel
to inquire of his word?

Therefore you shall not come down off that bed
on which you are gone up, but shall surely die.

17 So he died according to the word of Jehovah/God
which Elijah had spoken.

And Jehoram reigned in his place/stead
in the second year of Jehoram
the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah
because he had no son.

18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did,
are they not written in the book
of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
