  • Kupsabiny: “Then one day, when king Ahaziah was in his home in Samaria, he fell out from a window in his upper room hitting the ground so he almost died. Then he sent some of his people to travel to Ekron, a city of the Philistines. He sent them to go and ask Baal-zebub, the god of those people, if he might be able to still live/survive.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “Ahaziah, King of Israel fell down from a latticed window in an upper room of his palace in Samaria and was seriously injured. ‘So he sent a messenger saying to them, "Go and consult Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron to ask whether I will recover or not this injury.’” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
  • Hiligaynon: “One day, Ahazia fell from the latticework of the upper room of his palace in Samaria, and he was-injured. Therefore he sent messengers to ask Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, if he still could-recover from his injury.” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
  • English: “One day, Ahaziah, the new king of Israel, fell through the wooden slats/boards around the edge of the flat roof of his palace in Samaria. He was badly injured, so he summoned some messengers and told them, ‘Go to Ekron city in Philistia, and ask their god Baalzebub whether I will recover/become well.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
