And he said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

And he said to him, This is the word of the Lord: Because you sent men to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, for this reason you will never again get down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.

Και ειπε προς αυτον, Ουτω λεγει Κυριος· Επειδη απεστειλας μηνυτας να ερωτησωσι τον Βεελ-ζεβουλ, τον θεον της Ακκαρων, ως εαν δεν ητο Θεος εν τω Ισραηλ δια να ζητησης τον λογον αυτου, δια τουτο δεν θελεις καταβη απο της κλινης, εις την οποιαν ανεβης, αλλ' εξαπαντος θελεις αποθανει.

And he said unto him, Thus saith the Lord, 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.
