2 Kings 1:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ They said to him, “He wore clothes made of hair^[a] with a leather belt around his waist.”

Ahaziah said, “That was Elijah from Tishbe.”

⁹ So Ahaziah sent out a commander with fifty soldiers. The commander met up with Elijah while he was sitting on a hilltop. The commander said, “Man of God, the king says, ‘Come down!’”

¹⁰ Elijah replied to the commander of the fifty soldiers, “If I really am a man of God, may fire come down from the sky and burn up you and your fifty soldiers.” Then fire came down from the sky and burned up the commander and his fifty soldiers.
