And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, [is it] not because [there is] no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

Il lui dit: Ainsi parle l'Eternel: Parce que tu as envoyé des messagers pour consulter Baal-Zebub, dieu d'Ekron, comme s'il n'y avait en Israël point de Dieu dont on puisse consulter la parole, tu ne descendras pas du lit sur lequel tu es monté, car tu mourras.

KJV

And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, [is it] not because [there is] no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
