2 Kings 1:13-15

New International Reader's Version

¹³ So the king sent a third captain with his 50 men. The captain went up to Elijah. He fell on his knees in front of him. “Man of God,” he begged, “please have respect for my life! Please have respect for the lives of these 50 men! ¹⁴ Fire has come down from heaven. It has burned up the first two captains and all their men. But please have respect for my life!”

¹⁵ The angel of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down along with him. Don’t be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down to the king with the captain.
