Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers, saying to them,“ Go and consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, to see if I will recover from this injury.”

Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria, and lay sick; so he sent messengers, telling them,“ Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this sickness.”

One day Israel’s new king, Ahaziah, fell through the latticework of an upper room at his palace in Samaria and was seriously injured. So he sent messengers to the temple of Baal zebub, the god of Ekron, to ask whether he would recover.

Ahaziah had fallen through the latticed window of his upstairs room in Samaria and was injured. So he sent messengers, instructing them,“ Go inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this injury.”

And Ahaziah fell through the window lattice in his upper chamber which was in Samaria, and became ill. So he sent messengers and said to them,“ Go, inquire of Baal zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this sickness.”

Some teachers of the law were there. They had come down from Jerusalem. They said,“ He is controlled by Beelzebul! He is driving out demons by the power of the prince of demons.”

Elijah told the king,“ The Lord says,‘ You have sent messengers to ask Baal- Zebub for advice. He is the god of Ekron. Did you go there to pray to that god for advice? Do you think there is no God in Israel? You will never leave the bed you are lying on. You can be sure that you will die!’ ”

Elisha went to Damascus. Ben- Hadad was sick. He was king of Aram. The king was told,“ The man of God has come all the way up here.”Then the king said to Hazael,“ Take a gift with you. Go and see the man of God. Ask him for the Lord’ s advice. Ask him whether I will get well again.”Hazael went to see Elisha. Hazael took 40 camels with him as a gift. The camels were loaded with all the finest goods of Damascus. Hazael went into Elisha’s house and stood in front of him. Hazael said,“ Ben- Hadad has sent me. He is the king of Aram. He asks,‘ Will I get well again?’ ”Elisha answered,“ Go and tell him,‘ Yes. You will get well again.’ But the Lord has shown me that he will in fact die.”

It is enough for students to be like their teachers. And it is enough for slaves to be like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, what can the others who live there expect?

But some of them said,“ Jesus is driving out demons by the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons.”

The kings who ruled before me destroyed many nations. Did the gods of those nations save them? Did the gods of Gozan, Harran or Rezeph save them? What about the gods of the people of Eden who were in Tel Assar?

I will do these things because the tribes have deserted me. They have worshiped Ashtoreth, the female god of the people of Sidon. They have worshiped Chemosh, the god of the people of Moab. And they have worshiped Molek, the god of the people of Ammon. They have not lived the way I wanted them to. They have not done what is right in my eyes. They have not obeyed my rules and laws as Solomon’s father David did.

They have thrown the statues of the gods of those nations into the fire. And they have destroyed them. That’s because they weren’t really gods at all. They were nothing but statues made out of wood and stone. They were made by human hands.

But the angel of the Lord spoke to Elijah, who was from Tishbe. The angel said,“ Go up to see the messengers of Ahaziah, the king of Samaria. Tell them,‘ You are on your way to ask Baal- Zebub for advice. He is the god of Ekron. Are you going there to pray to that god? Do you think there is no God in Israel?’

“ A man met us on our way there,” they replied.“ He said to us,‘ Go back to the king who sent you. Tell him,“ The Lord says,‘ You are sending messengers to ask Baal- Zebub for advice. He is the god of Ekron. Are you going there to pray to that god? Do you think there is no God in Israel? You will never leave the bed you are lying on. You can be sure that you will die!’ ” ’ ”

The Pharisees heard this. So they said,“ This fellow drives out demons by the power of Beelzebul, the prince of demons.”Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them,“ Every kingdom that fights against itself will be destroyed. Every city or family that is divided against itself will not stand.If Satan drives out Satan, he fights against himself. Then how can his kingdom stand?You say I drive out demons by the power of Beelzebul. Then by whose power do your people drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.

A young man named Eutychus was sitting in a window. He sank into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. Sound asleep, Eutychus fell from the third floor. When they picked him up from the ground, he was dead.

Sinful people are destroyed. Trouble comes to those who do what is wrong.

So the ark of God was sent to Ekron. As the ark was entering Ekron, the people of the city cried out. They shouted,“ They’ve brought the ark of the god of Israel to us. They want to kill us and our people.”

“ Sisera’s mother looked out through the window. From behind the wooden screen she cried out.‘ Why is his chariot taking so long to get here?’ she said.‘ Why can’t I hear the noise of his chariots yet?’

But someone shot an arrow without taking aim. The arrow hit the king of Israel between the parts of his armor. The king told his chariot driver,“ Turn the chariot around. Get me out of this battle. I’ve been wounded.”

You will take what your god Chemosh gives you, won’t you? In the same way, we will take over what the Lord our God has given us.

Take ten loaves of bread with you. Take some cakes and a jar of honey. Go to him. He’ll tell you what will happen to our son.”

The one who loves me is like an antelope or a young deer. Look! There he stands behind our wall. He’s gazing through the window. He’s peering through the screen.

So now the Lord is about to strike down your people with a heavy blow. He will strike down your sons, your wives and everything that belongs to you.And you yourself will be very sick for a long time. The sickness will finally cause your insides to come out.’ ”
