2 Kings 1 (성경통독): Ahaziah son of Ahab became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah.Worshiping at the Baal shrines, he made God, the God of Israel, angry, oh, so angry. If anything, he was worse than his father. One day Ahaziah fell through the balcony railing on the rooftop of his house in Samaria and was injured. He sent messengers off to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, “Am I going to recover from this accident?” In this chapter, we can see God talking to Ahaziah through Elijah through numerous encounters. For example, the king sent a captain with his fifty men on multiple occasions and lightning from out of the blue struck and incinerated his men. Eventually, God's final verdict came on the kings saying: "“God’s word: Because you sent messengers to consult Baal-Zebub the god of Ekron, as if there were no God in Israel to whom you could pray, you’ll never get out of that bed alive—already you’re as good as dead.” And he died, exactly as God’s word spoken by Elijah had said. So we can that God does not tolerate idolatry.
