"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." — 2 Kings 1:6 (ASV)
And they said to him, there came a man up to meet us, and said to us, go, turn again to the king that sent you King Ahaziah: and say to him; and then they repeated all that is said by the angel to Elijah, and he has delivered to them, (2 Kings 1:3 2 Kings 1:4) and which was a sufficient reason for their turning back, since they got a full answer from a man of God, of what they were to inquire at Ekron; which was, whether the king would recover of this disease or not.
