2 Kings 1:14 in Context — 2 Kings 1
12 E respondeu-lhe Elias, e disse: Se eu sou homem de Deus, desça fogo do céu, e consuma-te com teus cinquenta. E desceu fogo do céu, que o consumiu a ele e a seus cinquenta.
13 E voltou a enviar o terceiro capitão de cinquenta com seus cinquenta; e subindo aquele terceiro capitão de cinquenta, ficou de joelhos diante de Elias, e rogou-lhe, dizendo: Homem de Deus, rogo-te que diante dos teus olhos seja preciosa minha vida e a vida destes teus cinquenta servos.
14 Eis que desceu fogo do céu, e consumiu os dois primeiros capitães de cinquenta, com seus cinquenta; seja agora minha vida preciosa diante de teus olhos.
15 Então o anjo do SENHOR disse a Elias: Desce com ele; não tenhas dele medo. E ele se levantou, e desceu com ele ao rei.
16 E disse-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR: Por que enviaste mensageiros a consultar Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom? Acaso não há Deus em Israel para consultar a sua palavra? Não descerás, portanto, do leito em que subiste, antes certamente morrerás.
