Tell the king Jehovah says: 'You will not recover from your injuries. You will in fact die!' Elijah did as Jehovah commanded. The messengers returned to the king. Why have you come back? He asked. They answered: A man told us to come back and tell you that Jehovah says: 'Why are you sending messengers to consult Baalzebub, the god of Ekron? Is it because you think there is no god in Israel? You will not recover from your injuries. You will die!' What did the man look like? The king asked. He was a hairy man wearing a cloak made of animal skins, tied with a leather belt, they answered. It is Elijah! The king exclaimed. Then he sent an officer with fifty men to get Elijah. The officer found him sitting on a hill and said to him: Man of God, the king orders you to come down. If I am a man of God, Elijah answered: Let fire come down from heaven and kill you and your men! At once fire came down and killed the officer and his men. The king sent another officer with fifty men, who went up and said to Elijah: Man of God, the king orders you to come down at once! Since I am a man of God, Elijah answered: let fire come down from heaven and kill you and your men! At once the fire of God came down and killed the officer and his men. Once more the king sent an officer with fifty men. He went up the hill, fell on his knees in front of Elijah, and pleaded: Man of God, be merciful to my men and me. Spare our lives! The other officers and their men were killed by fire from heaven. Please, please be merciful to me!

They jumped up and down before the altar they had made.read more.
In the middle of the day, Elijah made sport of them, saying: Give louder cries, for he is a god; he may be deep in thought. He may have gone away for some purpose. Perhaps he is on a journey. By chance he is sleeping and must be woke up. So they gave loud cries and they cut themselves with knives and swords till the blood came streaming out all over them. They went on with their prayers from midday till the time of the offering; but there was no voice, or any answer, or any who gave attention to them. Then Elijah said to all the people: Come near to me. Then all the people came near. He repaired the altar of Jehovah that was broken down. Elijah took twelve stones, the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom Jehovah said: Israel will be your name. He used the stones to make an altar to the name of Jehovah. He dug a trench around the altar, large enough to hold two seahs of seed. He put the wood in order and cut the bull in pieces and laid it on there. Then he said: Get four vessels full of water and put it on the burned offering and on the wood. Do it a second time, and they did it a second time. Then he said: Get four vessels full of water and put it on the burned offering and on the wood. Do it a second time They did it a second time. Then he said: Do it a third time and they did it a third time. The water went all round the altar until the drain was full. Then at the time of the offering, Elijah the prophet came near and said, Jehovah, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be seen this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things by your order. Give me an answer, O Jehovah. Give me an answer so that this people may see that you are God. That you have made their hearts come back again. Then the fire of Jehovah came down. It burned up the offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and drinking up the water in the drain.

Since I am a man of God, Elijah answered: let fire come down from heaven and kill you and your men! At once the fire of God came down and killed the officer and his men.
