The Second Book of the Kings Chapter 1
Then Moab rebelled against Israel after

00:08.740 --> 00:09.680
the death of Ahab.

00:10.420 --> 00:14.820
And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in
his upper chamber that was in Samaria,

00:15.240 --> 00:15.840
and was sick.

00:16.920 --> 00:22.100
And he sent messengers, and said unto
them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub,

00:22.520 --> 00:26.000
the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover
of this disease.

00:26.340 --> 00:31.700
But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah
the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the

00:31.700 --> 00:36.500
messengers of the king of Samaria,
and say unto them, Is it not because there

00:36.500 --> 00:41.200
is not a god in Israel that ye go to
inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?

00:42.180 --> 00:47.220
Now therefore thus saith the Lord,
Thou shalt not come down from that bed on

00:47.220 --> 00:50.260
which thou art gone up, but shalt surely
die.

00:50.760 --> 00:51.680
And Elijah departed.

00:52.400 --> 00:56.680
And when the messengers turned back unto
him, he said unto them, Why are ye now

00:56.680 --> 00:57.440
turned back?

00:57.440 --> 01:01.380
And they said unto him, There came a man
up to meet us, and said unto us,

01:01.660 --> 01:06.440
Go, turn again unto the king that sent
you, and say unto him, Thus saith the

01:06.440 --> 01:12.540
Lord, Is it not because there is not a god
in Israel that thou sendest to inquire of

01:12.540 --> 01:14.420
Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?

01:15.480 --> 01:20.020
Therefore thou shalt not come down from
that bed on which thou art gone up,

01:20.440 --> 01:21.720
but shalt surely die.

01:22.200 --> 01:27.080
And he said unto them, What manner of man
was he which came up to meet you and told

01:27.080 --> 01:27.980
you these words?

01:28.160 --> 01:32.360
And they answered him, He was an hairy
man, and girt with a girdle of leather

01:32.360 --> 01:33.240
about his loins.

01:33.460 --> 01:36.080
And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.

01:36.480 --> 01:39.640
Then the king sent unto him a captain of
fifty with his fifty.

01:40.080 --> 01:43.900
And he went up to him, and behold,
he sat on the top of an hill.

01:44.520 --> 01:48.640
And he spake unto him, Thou man of God,
the king hath said, Come down.

01:49.000 --> 01:53.760
And Elijah answered, and said to the
captain of fifty, If I be a man of God,

01:53.940 --> 01:57.660
then let fire come down from heaven and
consume thee and thy fifty.

01:58.180 --> 02:01.620
And there came down fire from heaven,
and consumed him and his fifty.

02:02.400 --> 02:06.580
Again also he sent unto him another
captain of fifty with his fifty.

02:07.140 --> 02:11.760
And he answered and said unto him,
O man of God, thus hath the king said,

02:12.040 --> 02:13.260
Come down quickly.

02:13.720 --> 02:19.520
And Elijah answered, and said unto them,
If I be a man of God, let fire come down

02:19.520 --> 02:22.220
from heaven and consume thee and thy
fifty.

02:22.720 --> 02:27.480
And the fire of God came down from heaven,
and consumed him and his fifty.

02:28.120 --> 02:31.200
And he sent again a captain of the third
fifty with his fifty.

02:31.680 --> 02:36.020
And the third captain of fifty went up,
and came and fell on his knees before

02:36.020 --> 02:40.880
Elijah, and besought him, and said unto
him, O man of God, I pray thee,

02:41.380 --> 02:45.840
let my life and the life of these fifty
thy servants be precious in thy sight.

02:46.340 --> 02:51.440
Behold, there came fire down from heaven,
and burnt up the two captains of the

02:51.440 --> 02:53.360
former fifties with their fifties.

02:53.820 --> 02:57.220
Therefore let my life now be precious in
thy sight.

02:57.540 --> 03:02.520
And the angel of the Lord said unto
Elijah, Go down with him, be not afraid of

03:02.520 --> 03:02.740
him.

03:03.200 --> 03:05.780
And he arose, and went down with him unto
the king.

03:06.420 --> 03:11.920
And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord,
forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to

03:11.920 --> 03:17.400
inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron,
is it not because there is no god in

03:17.400 --> 03:19.020
Israel to inquire of his word?

03:19.520 --> 03:23.680
Therefore thou shalt not come down off
that bed on which thou art gone up,

03:24.040 --> 03:25.440
but shalt surely die.

03:26.220 --> 03:29.900
So he died according to the word of the
Lord, which Elijah had spoken.

03:30.860 --> 03:34.780
And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the
second year of Jehoram, the son of

03:34.780 --> 03:36.080
Jehoshaphat, king of Judah.

03:36.700 --> 03:38.140
Because he had no son.

03:39.320 --> 03:43.360
Now the rest of the act of Ahaziah,
which he did, are they not written in the

03:43.360 --> 03:45.320
book of the chronicles of the kings of
Israel?
