2 Kings 1:13-15

The Message

^13-14 The king then sent a third captain with his fifty men. For a third time, a captain with his fifty approached Elijah. This one fell on his knees in supplication: “O Holy Man, have respect for my life and the souls of these fifty men! Twice now lightning from out of the blue has struck and incinerated captains with their fifty men; please, I beg you, respect my life!”

¹⁵ The angel of God told Elijah, “Go ahead; and don’t be afraid.” Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.
