Contextual Overview

⁹ Then he sent a captain with his fifty men to Elijah. The captain went to Elijah, who was sitting on top of the hill, and said to him, "Man of God, the king says, ‘Come down!'" ¹⁰ Elijah answered the captain, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and burn up you and your fifty men." Then fire came down from heaven and burned up the captain and his fifty men. ¹¹ Ahaziah sent another captain and fifty men to Elijah. The captain said to him, "Man of God, this is what the king says: ‘Come down quickly!'" ¹² Elijah answered, "If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and burn up you and your fifty men!" Then fire came down from heaven and burned up the captain and his fifty men. ¹³ Ahaziah then sent a third captain with his fifty men. The third captain came and fell down on his knees before Elijah and begged, "Man of God, please respect my life and the lives of your fifty servants. ¹⁴ See, fire came down from heaven and burned up the first two captains of fifty with all their men. But now, respect my life." ¹⁵ The Lord 's angel said to Elijah, "Go down with him and don't be afraid of him." So Elijah got up and went down with him to see the king. ¹⁶ Elijah told Ahaziah, "This is what the Lord says: ‘You have sent messengers to ask questions of Baal-Zebub, god of Ekron. Is it because you think there is no God in Israel to ask? Because of this, you will never get up from your bed; you will die.'" ¹⁷ So Ahaziah died, just as the Lord , through Elijah, had said he would. Joram became king in Ahaziah's place during the second year Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat was king of Judah. Joram ruled because Ahaziah had no son to take his place. ¹⁸ The other things Ahaziah did are written in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Behold, there came fire down from heaven and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties,.... He owns the facts, and ascribes the death of them to the true cause, and appears to have an awful sense of the judgment of God on them, fearing the same would befall him and his:

therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight; by sparing it, what is precious and valuable being spared.
