2Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria, and lay sick; so he sent messengers, telling them, “Go, inquire of hBaal-zebub, the god of Ekron, iwhether I shall recover from this sickness.” 3But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah jthe Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of kBaal-zebub, the god of Ekron? 4Now therefore thus says the Lord, lYou shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’” So Elijah went.Psalms 115:8
8 mThose who make them become like them;so do all who trust in them.
Isaiah 28:15-18
15Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,and with Sheol we have an agreement,
when the noverwhelming whip passes through
it will not come to us,
for we have made olies our refuge,
and in falsehood we have taken shelter”;
16therefore thus says the Lord God,
p“Behold, I am the one who has laid ▼
▼Dead Sea Scroll I am laying
as a foundation rin Zion,a stone, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:
‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’
17And I will make justice sthe line,
and righteousness tthe plumb line;
and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
and waters will overwhelm the shelter.”
18Then uyour covenant with death will be annulled,
and your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through,
you will be beaten down by it.
Isaiah 37:38
38And as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer, his sons, struck him down with the sword. And after they escaped into the land of vArarat, wEsarhaddon his son reigned in his place.
