(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke to=him/it thus he/it_had_said YHWH because which/who sent messengers to,consult (in),Baal- -zebub god_of ˊEqrōn ?,from,not not ʼElohīm in,Israel to,consult (in),word_of,his for=so/thus/hence the,bed which/who gone_up there not come_down from=her/it that/for/because/then/when to_die you(ms)_will_die )

The pronoun he refers to Elijah, while the pronoun him refers to King Ahaziah. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [And Elijah said to King Ahaziah]

כֹּֽה־אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֗ה יַ֜עַן אֲשֶׁר־שָׁלַ֣חְתָּ מַלְאָכִים֮ לִ⁠דְרֹשׁ֮ בְּ⁠בַ֣עַל זְבוּב֮ אֱלֹהֵ֣י עֶקְרוֹן֒ הַֽ⁠מִ⁠בְּלִ֤י אֵין־אֱלֹהִים֙ בְּ⁠יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל לִ⁠דְרֹ֖שׁ בִּ⁠דְבָר֑⁠וֹ לָ֠⁠כֵן הַ⁠מִּטָּ֞ה אֲשֶׁר־עָלִ֥יתָ שָּׁ֛ם לֹֽא־תֵרֵ֥ד מִמֶּ֖⁠נָּה כִּֽי־מ֥וֹת תָּמֽוּת

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_spoke to=him/it thus he/it_had_said YHWH because which/who sent messengers to,consult (in),Baal- -zebub god_of ˊEqrōn ?,from,not not ʼElohīm in,Israel to,consult (in),word_of,his for=so/thus/hence the,bed which/who gone_up there not come_down from=her/it that/for/because/then/when to_die you(ms)_will_die )

If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [Yahweh says that there is a God in Israel, and you should have inquired of his word. Because you sent messengers instead to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, therefore, the bed where you have gone up there, you will not come down from it, for dying, you will die]

Here Yahweh’s word represents what he would say to provide guidance. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [to ask for guidance]
