4 C’est pourquoi ainsi parle l’Éternel: Tu ne descendras pas du lit sur lequel tu es monté, car tu mourras. Et Élie s’en alla.
5 Les messagers retournèrent auprès d’Achazia. Et il leur dit: Pourquoi revenez-vous?
6 Ils lui répondirent: Un homme est monté à notre rencontre, et nous a dit: Allez, retournez vers le roi qui vous a envoyés, et dites-lui: Ainsi parle l’Éternel: Est-ce parce qu’il n’y a point de Dieu en Israël que tu envoies consulter Baal-Zebub, dieu d’Ékron? C’est pourquoi tu ne descendras pas du lit sur lequel tu es monté, car tu mourras.
7 Achazia leur dit: Quel air avait l’homme qui est monté à votre rencontre et qui vous a dit ces paroles?
8 Ils lui répondirent: C’était un homme vêtu de poil et ayant une ceinture de cuir autour des reins. Et Achazia dit: C’est Élie, le Thischbite.
