King Ahaziah falls from the upper chamber of his palace and becomes severely injured. Instead of seeking guidance from the Lord, he sends messengers to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether he will recover from his injuries. Elijah intercepts the messengers and delivers a message from the Lord, rebuking Ahaziah for seeking counsel from a false god.
