6They said to him, “A man came up to meet us and said to us, ‘Go, return to the king who sent you and speak to him, “Thus says YHWH, ‘Is it because there is no Elohim in Israel that you are sending to consult Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore from the bed to which you have gone up you will not come down, but you will surely die.’”’”
