2 Kings 1:2
And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
KJV
Ceciditque Ochozias per cancellos cœnaculi sui, quod habebat in Samaria, et ægrotavit : misitque nuntios, dicens ad eos : Ite, consulite Beelzebub deum Accaron, utrum vivere queam de infirmitate mea hac.
Vulgate
καὶ ἔπεσεν Ὀχοζείας διὰ τοῦ δικτυωτοῦ τοῦ ἐν τῷ ὑπερῴῳ αὐτοῦ τῷ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ, καὶ ἠρρώστησεν· καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ἀγγέλους καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς Δεῦτε καὶ ἐπιζητήσατε ἐν τῷ Βάαλ μυῖαν θεὸν Ἀκκαρών, εἰ ζήσομαι ἐκ τῆς ἀρρωστίας μου ταύτης· καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἐπερωτῆσαι δι’ αὐτοῦ.
LXX
And Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover of this sickness.
