If it would be clearer in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [and tell them to ask Ahaziah whether he has sent them to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, because there is no God in Israel.]

The angel is using the question form to rebuke the king. If a speaker of your language would not use the question form for that purpose, you could translate this as a statement or as an exclamation. Alternate translation: [There is a God in Israel, so you should not be going to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron!]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
