1 DESPUÉS de la muerte de Achâb rebelóse Moab contra Israel.

2 Y Ochôzías cayó por las celosías de una sala [de la casa] que tenía en Samaria; y estando enfermo envió mensajeros, y díjoles: Id, y consultad á Baal-zebub dios de Ecrón, si tengo de sanar de esta mi enfermedad.

5 Y como los mensajeros se volvieron al rey, él les dijo: ¿Por qué pues os habéis vuelto?
