Context
1Baada ya kifo cha Mfalme Ahabu, nchi ya Moabu iliasi dhidi ya Israeli. 2Basi Ahazia alikuwa ameanguka huko Samaria kutoka baraza ya chumba chake cha juu, akaumia. Hivyo akatuma wajumbe, akiwaambia, “Nendeni mkaulize kwa Baal-Zebubu, mungu wa Ekroni, mkaone kama nitapona kutokana na kuumia huku.” 3Lakini malaika wa Bwana akamwambia Eliya, Mtishbi, “Panda ukakutane na wajumbe wa mfalme wa Samaria, uwaulize, ‘Je, ni kwa sababu hakuna Mungu katika Israeli ndiyo maana mnakwenda kumuuliza Baal-Zebubu, mungu wa Ekroni?’ 4Kwa hiyo hili ndilo asemalo Bwana, ‘Hutaondoka kwenye kitanda unachokilalia. Hakika utakufa!’ ” Hivyo Eliya akaenda. 5Wajumbe waliporudi kwa mfalme, akawauliza, “Kwa nini mmerudi?”
