2 Kings 1:13-16

13And he sentH7971 againH7725 a captainH8269 of the thirdH7992 fiftyH2572 with his fiftyH2572. And the thirdH7992 captainH8269 of fiftyH2572 went upH5927, and cameH935 and fellH3766 on his kneesH1290 beforeH5048 ElijahH452, and besoughtH2603 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 sightH5869.1 14Behold, there cameH3381 fireH784 downH3381 from heavenH8064, and burnt upH398 the twoH8147 captainsH8269 of the formerH7223 fiftiesH2572 with their fiftiesH2572: therefore let my lifeH5315 now be preciousH3365 in thy sightH5869. 15And the angelH4397 of YhwhH3068 saidH1696 unto ElijahH452, Go downH3381 with him: be not afraidH3372 of himH6440. And he aroseH6965, and went downH3381 with him unto the kingH4428. 16And he saidH1696 unto him, Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068, Forasmuch as thou hast sentH7971 messengersH4397 to enquireH1875 of Baal–zebubH1176 the godH430 of EkronH6138, is it not because there is no GodH430 in IsraelH3478 to enquireH1875 of his wordH1697? therefore thou shalt not come downH3381 off that bedH4296 on which thou art gone upH5927, but shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191.
