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?
8 E eles lhe responderam: Um homem vestido de pelos, e cingia seus lombos com um cinto de couro. Então ele disse: É Elias, o tisbita.
