2 Kings 1:10-15

NSB(i) 10 »If I am a man of God,« Elijah answered: »Let fire come down from heaven and kill you and your men!« At once fire came down and killed the officer and his men. 11 The king sent another officer with fifty men, who went up and said to Elijah: »Man of God, the king orders you to come down at once!« 12 »Since I am a man of God,« Elijah answered: »let fire come down from heaven and kill you and your men!« At once the fire of God came down and killed the officer and his men. 13 Once more the king sent an officer with fifty men. He went up the hill, fell on his knees in front of Elijah, and pleaded: »Man of God, be merciful to my men and me. Spare our lives! 14 »The other officers and their men were killed by fire from heaven. Please, please be merciful to me!« 15 The angel of Jehovah (YHWH) said to Elijah: »Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him.« So Elijah went with the officer to the king.
