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. He predicts Ahaziah's impending death and relays the Lord's judgment upon him for his idolatry. In response, Ahaziah sends a captain with fifty men to apprehend Elijah. This turns out badly for that captain, subsequent military commanders, and the king himself.
