2 Kings 1:2-6
The Angel of the LORD says to Elijah the Tishbite, “Go and meet the messengers of the King of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? (19.4). God’s answer is not going to tickle the ears: “You will not get up from your sickbed – you will certainly die” (19.4). The messengers return immediately to Ahaziah, surprising him. “Why have you come back?” (19.5). So they tell the king word for word what God’s prophet said. These messengers do a better job of preaching than some modern preachers! No parsing, no twisted interpretation, no theological bias. The let God do the talking.
