Translations
They told him, 'A man met us on the road and said: Go back to the king who sent you and tell him — This is what Yahweh says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, you will never leave the bed you have climbed into — you will certainly die.'
They answered him, 'A man came up to meet us and said: Return to the king who sent you and say to him — Thus says YHWH: Is it because there is no Elohim in Yisra'el that you are sending to seek counsel from Ba'al-Zevuv, the god of Ekron? Therefore, from the bed you have gone up to you shall not come down — you will die, yes die.'
And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
They replied, “A man came up to meet us and said, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him that this is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending these men to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’”
