Forasmuch:
"But the angelª of the LORDª saidª ° to¹ Elijahª the Tishbite,ª Arise,ª ° go upª ° to meetª ° the messengersª of the kingª of Samaria,ª and sayª ° unto¹ them, [Is it] not because¹ ¹ [there is] not¹ a Godª in Israel,ª [that] ye¹ goª ° to enquireª ° of Baalzebubª the godª of Ekron?ª ... Now therefore¹ thus¹ saithª ° the LORD,ª Thou shalt not¹ come downª ° from¹ that bedª on which¹ ¹ thou art gone up,ª ° but¹ shalt surely² ° die.ª ° And Elijahª departed.² °¹" {2Kg 1:3-4} + "And they saidª ° unto¹ him, There cameª ° a manª upª ° to meetª ° us, and saidª ° unto¹ us, Go,² °¹ turn againª ° unto¹ the kingª that¹ sentª ° you, and sayª ° unto¹ him, Thus¹ saithª ° the LORD,ª [Is it] not because¹ ¹ [there is] not¹ a Godª in Israel,ª [that] thou¹ sendestª ° to enquireª ° of Baalzebubª the godª of Ekron?ª therefore¹ thou shalt not¹ come downª ° from¹ that bedª on which¹ ¹ thou art gone up,ª ° but¹ shalt surely² ° die.ª °" {2Kg 1:6} + "And thou shalt sayª ° unto¹ Pharaoh,ª Thus¹ saithª ° the LORD,ª Israelª [is] my son,ª [even] my firstborn:ª ... And I sayª ° unto¹ thee, Let¹ my sonª go,ª ° that he may serveª ° me: and if thou refuseª ° to let him go,ª ° behold,¹ I¹ will slayª °¹ thy son,ª [even] thy firstborn.ª" {Exd 4:22-23} + "And it was¹ [so], when Ahijahª heardª °¹ the soundª of her feet,ª as she came inª ° at the door,ª that he said,ª ° Come in,ª ° thou wifeª of Jeroboam;ª why¹ ¹ feignest thou thyself [to be] another?ª °¹ for I¹ [am] sentª ° to¹ thee [with] heavyª [tidings]. ...

Baalzebub:
Literally, "the lord of flies;" or, as the LXX render, Βααλ μυεαν θεον, Baal the fly god. See note on "And the LORDª didª ° so;¹ and there cameª ° a grievousª swarmª [of flies] into the houseª of Pharaoh,ª and [into] his servants'ª houses,ª and into all¹ the landª of Egypt:ª the landª was corruptedª ° by reason² of¹ ¹ the swarmª [of flies]." {Exd 8:24}.

on which thou art gone up:
In the East there is usually at the end of each chamber a little gallery, raised three or four feet above the floor, with a balustrade in front, to which they go up by a few steps. Here they place their beds; an allusion to which situation is involved in this declaration of Elijah's, and frequently referred to in the Sacred Scriptures. See note on "Unstableª as water,ª thou shalt not¹ excel;ª ° because¹ thou wentest upª ° to thy father'sª bed;ª then¹ defiledst¹ thou² ° [it]: he went upª ° to my couch.ª" {Gen 49:4} + "So Gehaziª followedª ° afterª Naaman.ª And when Naamanª sawª ° [him] runningª ° afterª him, he lighted downª ° from¹ ¹ the chariotª to meet² °¹ him, and said,ª ° [Is] all well?ª" {2Kg 5:21} + "Surely¹ I will not comeª ° into the tabernacleª of my house,ª nor¹ go upª ° into¹ my bed;ª ª" {Psa 132:3}
