2 Kings 1:13-16

13And again he sentH7971 the captain of a thirdH7992 fiftyH2572 with his fiftyH2572. And the thirdH7992 captain of fiftyH2572 wentH935 up, and cameH935 and fell on his knees before ElijahH452, and besought him, and saidH1696 unto him, O manH376 of GodH430, I pray thee, let my lifeH5315, and the lifeH5315 of these fiftyH2572 thy servantsH5650, be preciousH3365 in thy sight. 14Behold, there cameH3381 fireH784 downH3381 from heavenH8064, and consumedH398 the twoH8147 formerH7223 captains of fiftyH2572 with their fiftiesH2572; but nowH6258 let my lifeH5315 be preciousH3365 in thy sight. 15And the angelH4397 of Jehovah saidH1696 unto ElijahH452, GoH3381 down with him: be not afraidH3372 of him. And he aroseH6965, and wentH3381 downH3381 with him unto the kingH4428. 16And he saidH559 unto him, ThusH3541 saith Jehovah, Forasmuch as thou hast sentH7971 messengersH4397 to inquire of Baal-zebubH1176, the godH430 of EkronH6138, is it because there is no GodH430 in IsraelH3478 to inquire of his wordH1697? thereforeH3651 thou shalt not comeH5927 down from the bedH4296 whither thou art goneH5927 up, but shalt surely dieH4191.
