Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 2 Kings 1:16:

• Kupsabiny: “When they had arrived, Elijah said to that king, ‘God has said, ‘Why did you send people to go to where Baal-zebub, who is the god of Ekron, is to go and ask matters from (him) as if there is not a God of Israel who is able to be asked matters from? I am telling you, you will surely die and not get up from that bed where you are lying.’ ’” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Elijah said to the King, "The LORD has spoken like this: Why did you send messengers to Baal-Zebub, god or Ekron to ask whether or not you would recover — as if there is no God in Israel? So you will never get off the mattress you are lying on. You will certainly die!"” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “When Elias arrived to the king he said, ‘This is what the LORD says: ‘Why did- you -send messengers to ask Baal Zebub the god of Ekron? Is-there no God in Israel that you can-inquire-of/can-ask? Because of what you have-done, you will- no-longer -be-able-to-rise-up from the thing-on-which- you -lie-down. Very surely you will-die!’ ’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “When Elijah arrived, he said to the king, ‘This is what Yahweh says: ‘You sent messengers to go to Ekron to ask Baalzebub, 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!’’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
