1:6 They replied <0559>, “A man <0376> came up <05927> to meet <07125> us. He told <0559> us, “Go <01980> back <07725> to <0413> the king <04428> who <0834> sent <07971> you and tell <01696> him, ‘This is what <03541> the Lord <03068> says <0559>: “You must think there <0369> is no <0369> God <0430> in Israel <03478>! That explains why you <0859> are sending <07971> for an oracle <01875> from Baal Zebub <01176>, the god <0430> of Ekron <06138>. Therefore <03651> you will not <03808> leave <05927> the bed <04296> you lie on <03381>, for <03588> you will certainly die <04191> <04191>.”’”
