When the messengers returned to Ahaziah
AT "So Elijah went to meet the messengers and told that to them, and they returned to the king instead of going to Ekron.(See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)"
Is it because there is no God in Israel ... Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron?"
Sharing this remark in the form of a question puts emphasis on the folly of going to Baal Zebub. AT: "I suppose you sent men to see Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, because there is no God in Israel!" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
