2 Kings 1:14-16

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁴ Behold fire came down from heaven and consumed the first two captains of fifty with their fifties; but now let my ^[a]life be precious in your sight.” ^15 (A)The angel of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him; ^(B)do not be afraid of him.” So he arose and went down with him to the king. ¹⁶ Then he said to him, “Thus says the Lord, ‘Because you have sent messengers ^(C)to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron—is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of His word?—therefore ^[b]you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.’”
