2 Kings 1:62Kgs.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.

KJV

Hebrew original

וַ/יֹּאמְר֨וּ אֵלָ֜י/ו אִ֣ישׁ עָלָ֣ה לִ/קְרָאתֵ֗/נוּ וַ/יֹּ֣אמֶר אֵלֵי/נוּ֮ לְכ֣וּ שׁוּבוּ֮ אֶל הַ/מֶּ֣לֶךְ אֲשֶׁר שָׁלַ֣ח אֶתְ/כֶם֒ וְ/דִבַּרְתֶּ֣ם אֵלָ֗י/ו כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה הַֽ/מִ/בְּלִ֤י אֵין אֱלֹהִים֙ בְּ/יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אַתָּ֣ה שֹׁלֵ֔חַ לִ/דְרֹ֕שׁ בְּ/בַ֥עַל זְב֖וּב אֱלֹהֵ֣י עֶקְר֑וֹן לָ֠/כֵן הַ/מִּטָּ֞ה אֲשֶׁר עָלִ֥יתָ שָּׁ֛ם לֹֽא תֵרֵ֥ד מִמֶּ֖/נָּה כִּֽי מ֥וֹת תָּמֽוּת

Translations

Louis Segond 1910

Ils lui répondirent: Un homme est monté à notre rencontre, et nous a dit: Allez, retournez vers le roi qui vous a envoyés, et dites-lui: Ainsi parle l'Eternel: Est-ce parce qu'il n'y a point de Dieu en Israël que tu envoies consulter Baal-Zebub, dieu d'Ekron? C'est pourquoi tu ne descendras pas du lit sur lequel tu es monté, car tu mourras.

KJV

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.
