Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

ULT And he spoke to him, “Thus says Yahweh, ‘Because you sent messengers to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron—was it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore, the bed that you have gone up there, you will not come down from it, for you will surely die.’ ”
UST When Elijah arrived, he said to the king, “This is what Yahweh says: ‘You sent messengers to go to Ekron to ask Baal-Zebub, their god, whether you would recover. You acted as though there is no God in Israel to consult. So you will not recover from being injured; instead, you are going to die!’ ”
BSB § And Elijah said to King Ahaziah, “This is what the LORD says: Is there really no God in Israel for you to inquire of His word?

NET Elijah said to the king, “This is what the Lord says, ‘You sent messengers to seek an oracle from Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron. You must think there is no God in Israel from whom you can seek an oracle! Therefore you will not leave the bed you lie on, for you will certainly die.’ ”

BBE And he said to him, This is the word of the Lord: Because you sent men to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, for this reason you will never again get down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.

(Occurrence 0) Is it because there is no God in Israel from whom you can ask for information?
(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,inquire in/on/at/with, זְבוּב god ˊEqrōn the,because,not not ʼElohīm in/on/at/with,Israel to,inquire in/on/at/with,word,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 )
This rhetorical question is asked as a rebuke for consulting Baal-Zebub. This is irony because the king is definitely aware of the God of Israel. Alternate translation: “You must think there is no God in Israel whom you may ask for information!” or “You fool! You know there is a God in Israel to consult, but you acted as if you did not know.” (See also: figs-irony)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
(Occurrence 0) you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up
(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,inquire in/on/at/with, זְבוּב god ˊEqrōn the,because,not not ʼElohīm in/on/at/with,Israel to,inquire in/on/at/with,word,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 )
When King Ahaziah was injured, he was placed in a bed. Yahweh said that he will never become well and be able to get out of the bed. See how you translated this statement in 2 Kings 3:4. Alternate translation: “you will not recover and you will not get up from the bed where you are lying”
