他們對王說：「有一個人上來迎見我們，對我們說：『去，回到差你們來的王那裏，對他說：耶和華如此說，你派人去問以革倫的神明巴力‧西卜，是因為以色列中沒有神嗎？所以你必不能下所上的床，你一定會死。』」

使者回答说：“有一个人迎着我们来，对我们说：‘你们回去见差你们来的王，对他说：耶和华如此说，你差人去问以革伦神巴力西卜，岂因以色列中没有神吗？所以你必不下所上的床，必定要死。’”

他们对王说：“有一个人上来迎见我们，对我们说：‘去，回到差你们来的王那里，对他说：耶和华如此说，你派人去问以革伦的神明巴力‧西卜，是因为以色列中没有上帝吗？所以你必不能下所上的床，你一定会死。’”

他们对王说：“有一个人上来迎见我们，对我们说：‘去，回到差你们来的王那里，对他说：耶和华如此说，你派人去问以革伦的神明巴力‧西卜，是因为以色列中没有神吗？所以你必不能下所上的床，你一定会死。’”

他们答道：“有一个人在路上截住我们，要我们回来告诉你，耶和华对你说，‘你差人去求问以革伦的神明巴力·西卜，是因为以色列没有上帝吗？因此，你再也不能下床了，你必定死。’”

他们对王说：“有一个人上来迎着我们，又对我们说：‘去吧，回到那差派你们的王那里，对他说：耶和华这样说：你派人去求问以革伦的神巴力．西卜，是因为以色列中没有神吗？因此，你必不能从你躺上去的那张床上下来，因为你必定死。’”

使者回答說：「有一個人迎着我們來，對我們說：『你們回去見差你們來的王，對他說：耶和華如此說，你差人去問以革倫神巴力‧西卜，豈因以色列中沒有神嗎？所以你必不下所上的牀，必定要死。』」

他們答道：「有一個人在路上截住我們，要我們回來告訴你，耶和華對你說，『你差人去求問以革倫的神明巴力·西蔔，是因為以色列沒有上帝嗎？因此，你再也不能下床了，你必定死。』」

他們對王說：“有一個人上來迎著我們，又對我們說：‘去吧，回到那差派你們的王那裡，對他說：耶和華這樣說：你派人去求問以革倫的神巴力．西卜，是因為以色列中沒有神嗎？因此，你必不能從你躺上去的那張床上下來，因為你必定死。’”

使者回答他說：『有一個人迎着我們而上來，對我們說：「去吧，你們回去見那差遣你們的王，對他說：永恆主這樣說：是不是因為以色列中沒有上帝，而你得差遣人去尋問以革倫的神巴力西卜呢？這樣，你所上的床、你必不能從那裏下來；你必定死。」』

曰、有人迎而告我曰、返見遣爾之王曰、耶和華云、以色列中豈無上帝、乃遣人詢以革倫神巴力西卜乎、故爾所登之牀、不得再下、必死矣、

曰、有人迓我、使我以耶和華所言、反告於王云、在以色列中、豈無上帝、乃遣人詢以革倫之上帝巴力西卜乎。故爾寢於床、不得再下、至於死亡。

曰、有人迎我、告我曰、可返見遣爾之王、告之曰、主如是云、以色列中豈無天主、爾乃遣人往問以革倫之神巴力西卜乎、故主如是云、爾寢於床、不得再下、爾必死矣、

“ A man came to meet us,” they replied.“ And he said to us,‘ Go back to the king who sent you and tell him,“ This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending messengers to consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not leave the bed you are lying on. You will certainly die!”’”

“ A man met us on our way there,” they replied.“ He said to us,‘ Go back to the king who sent you. Tell him,“ The Lord says,‘ You are sending messengers to ask Baal- Zebub for advice. He is the god of Ekron. Are you going there to pray to that god? Do you think there is no God in Israel? You will never leave the bed you are lying on. You can be sure that you will die!’ ” ’ ”

And they said to him,“ There came a man to meet us, and said to us,‘ Go back to the king who sent you, and say to him, Thus says the Lord, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’”

They replied,“ A man came up to us and told us to go back to the king and give him this message.‘ This is what the Lord says: Is there no God in Israel? Why are you sending men to Baal zebub, the god of Ekron, to ask whether you will recover? Therefore, because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you are lying on; you will surely die.’”

They replied,“ A man came to meet us and said,‘ Go back to the king who sent you and declare to him,“ This is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you’re sending these men to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, you will not get up from your sickbed; you will certainly die.”’”

They said to him,“ A man came up to meet us and said to us,‘ Go, return to the king who sent you and say to him,“ This is what the Lord says:‘ Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending messengers to inquire of Baal zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get down from the bed upon which you have lain, but you shall certainly die.’ ” ’ ”

So they said to him,“ A man came up to meet us, and said to us,‘ Go, return to the king who sent you, and say to him,“ Thus says the Lord:‘ Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed to which you have gone up, but you shall surely die.’”’ ”

And they said unto him, There came up a man to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that thou sendest to inquire of Baal- zebub, the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from the bed whither thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

They replied,“ A man came to meet us and said,‘ Go back to the king who sent you and declare to him: This is what the Lord says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you’re sending these men to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore, you will not get up from your sickbed— you will certainly die.’”

And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD,[ Is it] not because[ there is] not a God in Israel,[ that] thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

They replied,“ A man came up to meet us. He told us,“ Go back to the king who sent you and tell him,‘ This is what the LORD says:“ You must think there is no God in Israel! That explains why you are sending for an oracle from Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron. Therefore you will not leave the bed you lie on, for you will certainly die.”’”

They said to him,“ A man came up to meet us, and said to us,‘ Go, return to the king who sent you, and tell him,“ Yahweh says,‘ Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”’”

讓它們近前來，告訴我們將來要發生甚麼事！你們要說明先前發生的事，好讓我們思索；或者告訴我們將來的事，使我們得知事情的結局。你們要指明未來的事，使我們知道你們是神明！你們或降福，或降禍，好使我們驚奇，一同觀看。

這樣，掃羅為了他的不忠死了；因為他干犯耶和華，沒有遵守耶和華的話，又因他求問招魂的婦人，不求問耶和華，所以耶和華使他被殺，把王國給了耶西的兒子大衛。

追逐別神的，他們的愁苦必增加；他們所澆奠的血我不獻上，我嘴唇也不提別神的名號。

亞哈謝在撒瑪利亞，一日從樓上的欄杆跌下來，就病了。於是他派使者，對他們說：「你們去問以革倫的神明巴力‧西卜，我這病是否能痊癒。」但耶和華的使者對提斯比人以利亞說：「你起來，上去迎見撒瑪利亞王的使者，對他們說：『你們去問以革倫的神明巴力‧西卜，是因為以色列中沒有神嗎？』所以耶和華如此說：『你必不能下你所上的床，因為你一定會死！』」以利亞就去了。
