2 Kings 1 - Easy To Read Version

1 After Ahab died, Moab broke away from Israel’s rule.

2 One day, Ahaziah was on the roof [1] of his house in Samaria. Ahaziah fell down through the wooden bars on top of his house. He was hurt very badly. Ahaziah called messengers and told them, “Go to {the priests of} Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron. Ask them if I will get well from my injuries.”

3 But the Lord’s angel said to Elijah the Tishbite, “King Ahaziah has sent some messengers from Samaria. Go meet those men. Say to them, ‘There is a God in Israel! So why are you men going to ask questions from Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?

4 {Tell King Ahaziah these things: You sent messengers to ask questions from Baal Zebub.} Since you did this thing, the Lord says: You will not get up from your bed. You will die!’” Then Elijah left {and told these words to Ahaziah’s servants}.

5 The messengers came back to Ahaziah. Ahaziah said to the messengers, “Why did you come back {so soon}?”

6 The messengers said to Ahaziah, “A man came up to meet us. He told us to go back to the king who sent us, and tell him what the Lord says. The Lord says, ‘There is a God in Israel! So why did you send messengers to ask questions from Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Since you did this thing, you will not get up from your bed. You will die!’”

7 Ahaziah said to the messengers, “What did the man look like who met you and told you these things?”

8 The messengers answered Ahaziah, “This man was wearing a hairy coat [2] with a leather belt around his waist.”

9 {Ahaziah} sent a captain and 50 men to Elijah. The captain went to Elijah. At that time, Elijah was sitting on top of a hill. The captain said to Elijah, “Man of God, [3] the king says, ‘Come down.’”

10 Elijah answered the captain of 50, “If I am a man of God, [4] let fire come down from heaven and destroy you and your 50 men!”

11 Ahaziah sent another captain with 50 men to Elijah. The captain said to Elijah, “Man of God, [5] the king says, ‘Come down quickly!’”

12 Elijah told the captain and his 50 men, “If I am a man of God, [6] let fire come down from heaven and destroy you and your 50 men!”

13 Ahaziah sent a third captain with 50 men. The third captain came to Elijah. The captain fell down on his knees. The captain begged Elijah, saying to him, “Man of God, [7] I ask you, please let my life and the lives of your 50 servants be valuable to you!

14 Fire came down from heaven and destroyed the first two captains and their 50 men. But now, have mercy and let us live!”

15 The Lord’s angel said to Elijah, “Go with the captain. Don’t be afraid of him.”

16 Elijah told Ahaziah, “There is a God in Israel. So why did you send messengers to ask questions from Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron. Since you did this thing, you will not get up from your bed. You will die!”

17 Ahaziah died, just like the Lord said through Elijah. Ahaziah did not have a son. So Joram became the new king after Ahaziah. Joram began to rule during the second year that Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat was the king of Judah.

18 The other things that Ahaziah did are written in the book The History of the Kings of Israel.
