2 Kings 1:3-5

Living Bible

³ But the Angel of the Lord told Elijah the prophet,^[a] “Go and meet the messengers and ask them, ‘Is it true that there is no God in Israel? Is that why you are going to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, to ask whether the king will get well? ^4-5 Because King Ahaziah has done this, the Lord says that he will never leave the bed he is lying on; he will surely die.’”

When Elijah told the messengers this, they returned immediately to the king.

“Why have you returned so soon?” he asked them.
