And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.King Ahaziah sends some troops to bring in Elijah. When Elijah is approached, he rains fire down on them and they all die.
