Kemudian raja menyuruh pula seorang perwira yang ketiga dengan kelima puluh anak buahnya. Lalu naiklah perwira yang ketiga itu dan sesudah sampai, berlututlah ia di depan Elia, serta memohon belas kasihan kepadanya, katanya: "Ya abdi Allah, biarlah kiranya nyawaku dan nyawa kelima puluh orang hamba-hambamu ini berharga di matamu.
Maka kembali pula disuruhkan baginda seorang panglima pada ketiga kalinya serta dengan lima puluh orang laskarnya. Maka berjalanlah panglima itu, lalu naik; setelah sampai maka bertelutlah ia di hadapan Elia sambil meminta sangat kepadanya, sembahnya: Ya, aziz Allah! biar apalah nyawaku dan nyawa segala hambamu lima puluh orang ini indah kepada pemandangan tuan!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty,.... Which was most daring and insolent, and showed him to be dreadfully hardened, to persist in his messages after such rebuffs: and the third captain of fifty went up; instead of calling to the prophet at the bottom of the hill as the other did, he went up to the top of it:
and came and fell on his knees before Elijah: in reverence of him as a prophet of the Lord, and under a dread of the power he was possessed of, of calling for fire from heaven on him and his men, as the former instances showed:
and besought him, and said unto him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight: he owns their lives lay at his mercy; he begs they might be spared, since it was not in contempt of him, and through ill will to him as the prophet of the Lord, but in obedience to the king's command, that they were come to him.
