SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:3
Entonces el ángel del SEÑOR habló a Elías tisbita, diciendo: Levántate, y sube a encontrarte con los mensajeros del rey de Samaria, y les dirás: ¿No hay Dios en Israel, que vosotros vais a consultar a Baal-zebub dios de Ecrón?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. But the angel of the Lord said unto Elijah , etc.] One of the ministering spirits sent by the Lord to him: arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria : that is, the king of Israel, whose capital city was Samaria: is it not because there is not a God in Israel ; known, acknowledged, and worshipped there, of whom there had been sufficient proof of his deity and divine perfections, as omniscience, omnipotence, etc. that ye go to inquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron ? about future things, when they had God nigh unto them, fully acquainted with them, as this message shows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - When Ahaziah rebelled against the Lord, Moab revolted from him. Sin weakens and impoverishes us. Man's revolt from God is often punished by the rebellion of those who owe subjection to him. Ahaziah fell throug a lattice, or railing. Wherever we go, there is but a step between u and death. A man's house is his castle, but not to secure him agains God's judgments. The whole creation, which groans under the burden of man's sin, will, at length, sink and break under the weight like thi lattice. He is never safe that has God for his enemy. Those that wil not inquire of the word of God for their comfort, shall hear it to their terror, whether they will or no.
