2 Kings 1:10

Context
1:10 Elijah replied to the captain, 1  “If I am indeed a prophet, may fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty soldiers!” Fire then came down 2  from the sky and consumed him and his fifty soldiers.

2 Kings 1:14

Context
1:14 Indeed, 3  fire came down from the sky and consumed the two captains who came before me, along with their men. 4  So now, please have respect for my life.”

1 tn Heb “answered and said to the officer of fifty.”

2 tn Wordplay contributes to the irony here. The king tells Elijah to “come down” (Hebrew יָרַד, yarad), but Elijah calls fire down (יָרַד) on the arrogant king’s officer.

3 tn Heb “look.”

4 tn Heb “their fifty.”
