2 Kings 1:3
But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
KJV
Angelus autem Domini locutus est ad Eliam Thesbiten, dicens : Surge, et ascende in occursum nuntiorum regis Samariæ, et dices ad eos : Numquid non est Deus in Israël, ut eatis ad consulendum Beelzebub deum Accaron ?
Vulgate
καὶ ἄγγελος Κυρίου ἐκάλεσεν Ἠλειοὺ τὸν Θεσβείτην λέγων Ἀναστὰς δεῦρο εἰς συνάντησιν τῶν ἀγγέλων Ὀχοζείου βασιλέως Σαμαρείας καὶ λαλήσεις πρὸς αὐτούς Εἰ παρὰ τὸ μὴ εἶναι θεὸν ἐν Ἰσραὴλ ὑμεῖς πορεύεσθε ἐπιζητῆσαι ἐν τῷ Βάαλ μυῖαν θεὸν Ἀκκαρών; καὶ οὐχ οὕτως·
LXX
But the angel of Jehovah said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?
