2 Kings 1:6
GOD'S WORD Translation
6
They said to him, “A man came up to meet us, and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him, “Yahweh says, ‘Is it because there is no God (Elohim) in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”’”

English Translation
And they said to me, "A man went up to meet us and said to us, 'Go back to the king who sent you and tell him, thus says Yahweh: Is there no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, the bed to which you have gone up will not come down from it, for you shall surely die.'"
