5. And will do so to his detriment.
结果反倒伤害了自己。
6. And we saw that demonstrated as Ahaziah followed in his father, King Ahab’s, treacherous footsteps.

7. Ahaziah was injured and rather than trusting in God, he consulted the god Baal-zebub.
亚哈谢摔下栏杆受伤以后，他没有依靠神，反而去找以革伦的神巴力西卜，
8. Whether he’s going to live or die.
求问他会生，还是会死。
9. And we learned that Baal-zebub was Satan himself.
我们知道巴力西卜就是撒但。
10. Read II Kings 1:3.
列王纪下1章3节说：
11. The angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishabite.
耶和华的使者对提斯比人以利亚说，
12. Go up and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them.
你起来，去迎着撒玛利亚王的使者，对他们说，你们去问以革伦神巴力西卜，岂因以色列中没有神吗？
13. This must have been on Mt. Carmel.
这件事一定是发生在迦密山上。
14. The reason I think that
这是因为，
15. Is because that Mt. Carmel is halfway between Samaria and Ekron.
迦密山正好在撒玛利亚和以革伦的中间，
16. So he stopped them halfway.
而以利亚是在半路上截住了亚哈谢的使者们。
17. And the king knew that they did not make it all the way there.
亚哈谢后来知道他的使者们没有抵达以革伦。
18. Elijah sent them back.
以利亚在半路上就叫他们回去了，
19. He said to them,
并对他们说，
20. Is it because there is no god in Israel that you are going off to consult Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?
你们去问以革伦神巴力西卜，岂因以色列中没有神吗？

以利亚就起来，在通往以革伦的路上截住那些使者们，告诉他们耶和华神吩咐他所说的话。
24. Is it because there is not god in Israel that you are going off to consult Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?
你们去问以革伦神巴力西卜，岂因以色列中没有神吗？
25. Therefore this is what the Lord says,
所以耶和华如此说：
26. You will not leave the bed you are lying on.
你必不下你所上的床，
27. You will certainly die.
必定要死。
28. The messengers go back to King Ahaziah and deliver the bad news.
于是使者回去见亚哈谢王，告诉他这个坏消息。
29. Ahaziah said describe this man to me.
亚哈谢让他们描述一下他们见到的那个人，
30. As soon as they describe him, he knew it was Elijah.
