He told us to go and return to the king who sent us, and tell him, 'Here is what ADONAI says: "Is it because there's no God in Isra'el that you're sending to consult Ba'al-Z'vuv the god of 'Ekron?

"He was a hairy man," they answered him, "with a leather belt around his waist." He said, "It was Eliyahu from Tishbe."
