2 Kings 1:15-17
Good News Translation
15 The angel of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him, and don't be afraid.” So Elijah went with the officer to the king 16 and said to him, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Because you sent messengers to consult Baalzebub, the god of Ekron—as if there were no god in Israel to consult—you will not get well; you will die!’”
17 Ahaziah died, as the Lord had said through Elijah. Ahaziah had no sons, so his brother[a] Joram succeeded him as king in the second year of the reign of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah.
