2 Kings 1:9-13
9Then King Ahaziah sentH7971 to ElijahH413 a captainH8269 with his company of fifty menH2572. So the captain went upH5927 toH413H2009 Elijah, who was sittingH3427 onH5921 topH7218 of a hillH2022, and saidH1696 to himH413, “ManH376 of GodH430, the kingH4428 declaresH1696, ‘Come downH3381!’”
10ElijahH452H1696 answeredH6030H413 the captainH8269H2572, “IfH518 IH589 am a manH376 of GodH430, may fireH784 come downH3381 fromH4480 heavenH8064 and consumeH398 youH853 andH853 your fiftyH2572 men.”
And fireH784 came downH3381 fromH4480 heavenH8064 and consumedH398 the captain andH853 his fifty menH2572.
So the king sentH7971 to ElijahH413 anotherH312 captainH8269H2572 with his fiftyH2572 men. AndH6030 the captain saidH1696 toH413 Elijah, “ManH376 of GodH430, the kingH4428 declaresH559, ‘Come downH3381 at onceH4120!’”
12Again ElijahH452H1696H413 repliedH6030, “IfH518 IH589 am a manH376 of GodH430, may fireH784 come downH3381 fromH4480 heavenH8064 and consumeH398 youH853 andH853 your fiftyH2572 men.”
And the fireH784 of GodH430 came downH3381 fromH4480 heavenH8064 and consumedH398 the captain andH853 his fifty menH2572.
13SoH7725 the king sentH7971 a thirdH7992 captainH8269 with his fifty menH2572. And the thirdH7992 captainH8269 went upH5927H935, fellH3766 onH5921 his kneesH1290 beforeH5048 ElijahH452, and begged himH2603H413H1696, “ManH376 of GodH430, may my lifeH5315 and the livesH5315 of theseH428 fiftyH2572 servants of yoursH5650 pleaseH4994 be preciousH3365 in your sightH5869.
