The prophet Elijah confronts the messengers and later King himself Acazias, prophesying his imminent death. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in 2 Kings 1:

Deuteronomy 6:14: "Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you." This verse talks about the importance of not following other gods beyond the true God. Ahaziah made the mistake of consulting Baal-Zebube, a false god, instead of seeking God.

1 Kings 22:53: "They adopted the habits of the nations that the Lord had expelled before them, and did what the Lord reproves." This verse relates to the fact that Ahaziah follows the customs and practices of the pagan peoples around him rather than following God's laws and commandments.

2 Chronicles 28:23: "He offered sacrifices to the gods of Damascus who had defeated him; for he thought, 'Since the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will also help them to offer them sacrifices.' This verse describes the behavior similar to that of Ahaziah, who resorted to a foreign God to seek healing rather than trusting God.

Proverbs 14:12: "There is way that seems right to man, but in the end leads to death." This verse relates to the attitude of Acazias, who chose to follow a path that seemed right to him, but eventually led him to death.

James 4:7: "Subject, therefore, to God. Resist the devil, and He will run away from you." This verse talks about the importance of submitting to God and resisting the devil. Ahaziah failed to submit to God and resist the temptations of the devil, which resulted in his premature death.
