Melachim Bais 1:6

6 And they said unto him, There came an ish up to meet us, and he said unto us, Go, turn again unto HaMelech that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith Hashem, Is it because there is no Elohim in Yisroel, that thou sendest to inquire of Ba’al Zevuv elohei Ekron? Therefore thou shalt not get down from that mittah on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

Melachim Bais 1:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 1:6

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
King Ahaziah: and say unto him;
and then they repeated all that is said by the angel to Elijah, and he had delivered to them, ( 2 Kings 1:3 2 Kings 1:4 ) and which was a sufficient reason for their turning back, since they got a full answer from a man of God, of what they were to inquire of at Ekron; which was, whether the king would recover of this disease or not.
