1 Después de la muerte de Acab, Moab se rebeló contra Israel.
1 Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 Ocozías cayó por una ventana de su habitación en Samaria y quedó herido. Entonces envió mensajeros con esta orden: «Consulten a Baal-zebub, el dios de Ecrón, para saber si me recuperaré».
2 Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper room that was in Samaria, and was sick. So he sent messengers, and said to them, “Go, inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this sickness.”
3 Pero el ángel del Señor le dijo a Elías el tisbita: «Ve al encuentro de los mensajeros del rey de Samaria y pregúntales: “¿Acaso no hay Dios en Israel, para que vayan a consultar a Baal-zebub, el dios de Ecrón?”.
3 But Yahweh’s angel said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you go to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?
4 Por eso, el Señor dice: “No te levantarás de la cama en la que estás acostado. Morirás sin remedio”». Elías fue a encontrarlos.
4 Now therefore Yahweh says, “You will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.”’” Then Elijah departed.
5 Los mensajeros volvieron al rey, y él les preguntó: «¿Por qué regresaron?».
5 The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, “Why is it that you have returned?”
6 Ellos respondieron: «Un hombre salió a nuestro encuentro y nos dijo: “Regresen al rey que los envió y díganle: ‘El Señor dice: ¿Acaso no hay Dios en Israel, para que mandes a consultar a Baal-zebub, el dios de Ecrón? Por eso no te levantarás de la cama en la que estás acostado. Morirás sin remedio’”».
6 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.’”’”
7 El rey les preguntó: «¿Cómo era el hombre que salió a su encuentro y les dijo eso?».
7 He said to them, “What kind of man was he who came up to meet you and told you these words?”
8 Respondieron: «Llevaba una prenda de pelo y un cinturón de cuero». El rey dijo: «Es Elías el tisbita».
8 They answered him, “He was a hairy man, and wearing a leather belt around his waist.” He said, “It’s Elijah the Tishbite.”
9 Entonces el rey envió a un capitán con sus cincuenta hombres. El capitán subió a la colina donde Elías estaba sentado y le dijo: «Hombre de Dios, el rey ordena que bajes».
9 Then the king sent a captain of fifty with his fifty to him. He went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He said to him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down!’”
10 Elías le respondió: «Si soy hombre de Dios, que baje fuego del cielo y los consuma a ti y a tus cincuenta hombres». Bajó fuego del cielo y los consumió.
10 Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
11 El rey envió a otro capitán con sus cincuenta hombres. Este le dijo a Elías: «Hombre de Dios, el rey ordena que bajes enseguida».
11 Again he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. He answered him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down quickly!’”
12 Elías respondió: «Si soy hombre de Dios, que baje fuego del cielo y los consuma a ti y a tus cincuenta hombres». Bajó fuego de Dios del cielo y los consumió.
12 Elijah answered them, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then God’s fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty.
13 El rey envió a un tercer capitán con sus cincuenta hombres. El capitán subió, se arrodilló ante Elías y le suplicó: «Hombre de Dios, te ruego que tengas compasión de mi vida y de la vida de estos cincuenta hombres a tu servicio.
13 Again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, “Man of God, please let my life and the life of these fifty of your servants be precious in your sight.
14 Ya bajó fuego del cielo y consumió a los dos primeros capitanes con sus hombres. Ahora te ruego que tengas compasión de mi vida».
14 Behold, fire came down from the sky and consumed the last two captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight.”
15 El ángel del Señor le dijo a Elías: «Baja con él. No le tengas miedo». Elías se levantó y bajó con el capitán a ver al rey.
15 Yahweh’s angel said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Don’t be afraid of him.” Then he arose and went down with him to the king.
16 Le dijo al rey: «El Señor dice: “Enviaste mensajeros a consultar a Baal-zebub, el dios de Ecrón, como si no hubiera Dios en Israel a quien consultar. Por eso no te levantarás de la cama en la que estás acostado. Morirás sin remedio”».
16 He said to him, “Yahweh says, ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’”
17 Ocozías murió, tal como el Señor había anunciado por medio de Elías. Como no tenía hijos, Joram ocupó su lugar como rey de Israel. Esto sucedió en el segundo año del reinado de Joram hijo de Josafat, rey de Judá.
17 So he died according to Yahweh’s word which Elijah had spoken. Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because he had no son.
18 Los demás hechos de Ocozías están escritos en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel.
18 Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Hence it is that Elijah inflicted death on many, both with his own hand and by calling down fire from heaven; as was done also without rashness by many other great and godlike men, in the same spirit of concern for the good of humanity.

Thus, for instance, both Peter appears to have been "girded," and Paul; for it saith, "the man that owneth this girdle." And Elijah too was thus arrayed, and every one of the saints, because they were at work continually, laboring, and busying themselves either in journeyings, or about some other necessary matter; and not for this cause only, but also …
