2 Kings 1:6

And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, [Is it] not because [there is] not a God in Israel, [that] thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

And they said {H559} unto him, There came {H5927} a man {H376} up {H5927} to meet {H7125} us, and said {H559} unto us, Go {H3212}, turn again {H7725} unto the king {H4428} that sent {H7971} you, and say {H1696} unto him, Thus saith {H559} the LORD {H3068}, Is it not because there is not a God {H430} in Israel {H3478}, that thou sendest {H7971} to enquire {H1875} of Baalzebub {H1176} the god {H430} of Ekron {H6138}? therefore thou shalt not come down {H3381} from that bed {H4296} on which thou art gone up {H5927}, but shalt surely {H4191} die {H4191}.

They answered him, "A man came to meet us. He told us to go and return to the king who sent us, and tell him, 'Here is what ADONAI says: "Is it because there's no God in Isra'el that you're sending to consult Ba'al-Z'vuv the god of 'Ekron? Therefore you will never leave the bed you are lying on; you will certainly die."'"

They replied, “A man came up to meet us and said, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him that this is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending these men to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’”

And they said unto him, There came up a man to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
