enquire of
Baal-
zebub the god of
Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come
down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
They replied, “A man came up to meet us and said, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him that this is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending these men to inquire of

down!’”

Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come
down from heaven, and
consume thee and thy fifty. And there came
down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

down from heaven and
consume you and your fifty men.” And fire came
down from heaven and consumed the captain and his fifty men.

Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to
enquire of
Baal-
zebub the god of
Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to
enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come
down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

zebub, the god of
Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.”

pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the house of

Rimmon: when I bow
down myself in the house of
Rimmon, the LORD
pardon thy servant in this thing.

forgive your servant this one thing: When my master goes into the temple of
Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my arm, and I bow

chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?
But
Elisha questioned him, “Did not my spirit go with you when the man got
down from his
chariot to meet you? Is this the time to accept money and clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, menservants and maidservants?

down a tree, the iron
axe head fell into the water. “Oh, my master,” he
cried out, “it was borrowed!”

float.

down to him,
Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said,
