Therefore 1you shall not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but shall surely die.’ ” ’ ”

They replied, “A man came up to us and told us to go back to the king and give him this message. ‘This is what the Lord says: Is there no God in Israel? Why are you sending men to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, to ask whether you will recover? Therefore, because you have done this, you will never leave the bed you are lying on; you will surely die.’ ”
“What sort of man was he?” the king demanded. “What did he look like?”
They replied, “He was a hairy man, and he wore a leather belt around his waist.”
