2R 1 (King James)

¹ Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
² And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
³ But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
⁴ Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.
⁵ And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back?
⁶ 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.
⁷ And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
⁸ And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
⁹ Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.
¹⁰ And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
¹¹ Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
¹² And Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
¹³ And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
¹⁴ Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
¹⁵ And the angel of the LORD said unto Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him unto the king.
¹⁶ And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
¹⁷ So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
¹⁸ Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

2R 1 (Vulgate)

¹ Prævaricatus est autem Moab in Israël, postquam mortuus est Achab.
² Ceciditque Ochozias per cancellos cœnaculi sui, quod habebat in Samaria, et ægrotavit : misitque nuntios, dicens ad eos : Ite, consulite Beelzebub deum Accaron, utrum vivere queam de infirmitate mea hac.
³ Angelus autem Domini locutus est ad Eliam Thesbiten, dicens : Surge, et ascende in occursum nuntiorum regis Samariæ, et dices ad eos : Numquid non est Deus in Israël, ut eatis ad consulendum Beelzebub deum Accaron ?
⁴ Quam ob rem hæc dicit Dominus : De lectulo, super quem ascendisti, non descendes, sed morte morieris. Et abiit Elias.
⁵ Reversique sunt nuntii ad Ochoziam. Qui dixit eis : Quare reversi estis ?
⁶ At illi responderunt ei : Vir occurrit nobis, et dixit ad nos : Ite, et revertimini ad regem qui misit vos, et dicetis ei : Hæc dicit Dominus : Numquid quia non erat Deus in Israël, mittis ut consulatur Beelzebub deus Accaron ? idcirco de lectulo, super quem ascendisti, non descendes, sed morte morieris.
⁷ Qui dixit eis : Cujus figuræ et habitus est vir ille, qui occurrit vobis, et locutus est verba hæc ?
⁸ At illi dixerunt : Vir pilosus, et zona pellicea accinctus renibus. Qui ait : Elias Thesbites est.
⁹ Misitque ad eum quinquagenarium principem, et quinquaginta qui erant sub eo. Qui ascendit ad eum : sedentique in vertice montis, ait : Homo Dei, rex præcepit ut descendas.
¹⁰ Respondensque Elias, dixit quinquagenario : Si homo Dei sum, descendat ignis de cælo, et devoret te, et quinquaginta tuos. Descendit itaque ignis de cælo, et devoravit eum, et quinquaginta qui erant cum eo.
¹¹ Rursumque misit ad eum principem quinquagenarium alterum, et quinquaginta cum eo. Qui locutus est illi : Homo Dei, hæc dicit rex : Festina, descende.
¹² Respondens Elias, ait : Si homo Dei ego sum, descendat ignis de cælo, et devoret te, et quinquaginta tuos. Descendit ergo ignis de cælo, et devoravit illum, et quinquaginta ejus.
¹³ Iterum misit principem quinquagenarium tertium, et quinquaginta qui erant cum eo. Qui cum venisset, curvavit genua contra Eliam, et precatus est eum, et ait : Homo Dei, noli despicere animam meam, et animas servorum tuorum qui mecum sunt.
¹⁴ Ecce descendit ignis de cælo, et devoravit duos principes quinquagenarios primos, et quinquagenos qui cum eis erant : sed nunc obsecro ut miserearis animæ meæ.
¹⁵ Locutus est autem angelus Domini ad Eliam, dicens : Descende cum eo : ne timeas. Surrexit igitur, et descendit cum eo ad regem,
¹⁶ et locutus est ei : Hæc dicit Dominus : Quia misisti nuntios ad consulendum Beelzebub deum Accaron, quasi non esset Deus in Israël a quo posses interrogare sermonem, ideo de lectulo super quem ascendisti, non descendes, sed morte morieris.
¹⁷ Mortuus est ergo juxta sermonem Domini quem locutus est Elias, et regnavit Joram frater ejus pro eo, anno secundo Joram filii Josaphat regis Judæ : non enim habebat filium.
¹⁸ Reliqua autem verborum Ochoziæ quæ operatus est, nonne hæc scripta sunt in libro sermonum dierum regum Israël ?
