2 Kings 1:14-16

New International Reader's Version

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.

¹⁶ Elijah told the king, “The Lord says, ‘You have sent messengers to ask Baal-Zebub for advice. He is the god of Ekron. Did you go there to pray to that god for advice? Do you think there is no God in Israel? You will never leave the bed you are lying on. You can be sure that you will die!’ ”
