BRAGADAYJAH 1058

BRAGADAYJAH 1058
Death of Ahaziah

So following the instructions of the angel of the Lord, Elijah appeared before the king and told him, thus saith the Lord.  “Forasmuch as you have sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? Therefore, thou will not come down off thy bed on which you have gone up; but you will surely die.” So Ahaziah died according to the word of the Lord which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah because he had no son. After that when the Lord was about to take up Elijah into heaven that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal. And Elijah said to Elisha, “Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord has sent me to Bethel.” And Elisha said to him, “As the Lord liveth, and as your soul liveth, I will not leave thee.  So they went down to Bethel. And the sons of the prophets that were at Bethel came forth to Elisha and said to him, do you know that the Lord will take away your master from you today? And Elisha said, Yes, I know it hold your peace.”
