14 Behold, fire came down from heaven and consumed the first two captains of fifty with their fifties; but now let my [a]life be precious in your sight.” 15 And (A)the angel of the Lord said to Elijah, “Go down with him; (B)do not be afraid of him.” So he got up and went down with him to the king. 16 Then he said to him, “This is what the Lord says: ‘Since you have sent messengers (C)to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron—is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of His word? Therefore [b]you will not get down from the bed upon which you have lain, but you shall certainly die.’”
