2 Kings 1:5 in Context — 2 Kings 1

3 Então o anjo do SENHOR falou a Elias Tisbita, dizendo: Levanta-te, e sobe a encontrar-te com os mensageiros do rei de Samaria, e lhes dirás: Acaso não há Deus em Israel, para que vades a consultar Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom?

4 Portanto assim disse o SENHOR: Do leito em que subiste não descerás, antes certamente morrerás. E Elias se foi.

5 E quando os mensageiros voltaram ao rei, ele lhes disse: Por que, pois, voltastes?

6 E eles lhe responderam: Encontramos um homem que nos disse: Ide, e voltai ao rei que vos enviou, e dizei-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR: Acaso não há Deus em Israel, para que tu envias a consultar Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom? Portanto, do leito em que subiste não descerás, antes certamente morrerás.

7 Então ele lhes disse: Qual era a roupa daquele homem que encontrastes, e que vos disse tais palavras?
