2 Kings 1:2-4:
And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the God of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
Now, therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but thou shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.
Notes on 2 Kings 1:2-4:
Ahaziah died, just as Elijah said he would. This was similar to the death of King Saul when he consulted a medium instead of the Lord. (“So Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had committed against the LORD, because he did not keep the word of the LORD, and also because he consulted a medium for guidance.” – 1 Chronicles 10:13. Note that the word medium refers to someone who tries to talk to dead people and actually talks to evil spirits; it does not refer to the person’s clothing size.)
