2 Kings 1:12-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹² Elijah answered the officer, “If I’m a man of God, fire will come from heaven and burn up you and your 50 men.” Then God’s fire came from heaven and burned up the officer and his 50 men.

¹³ The king sent a third officer with 50 men. The officer of the third group went up the hill and knelt in front of Elijah. The officer begged him, “Man of God, please treat my life and the lives of these 50 servants of yours as something precious. ¹⁴ Fire has come from heaven and burned up the first two officers and their 100 men. But treat my life as something precious.”
