2 Kings 1:8 in Context — 2 Kings 1
6 E eles lhe responderam: Encontramos um homem que nos disse: Ide, e voltai ao rei que vos enviou, e dizei-lhe: Assim disse o SENHOR: Acaso não há Deus em Israel, para que tu envias a consultar Baal-Zebube, deus de Ecrom? Portanto, do leito em que subiste não descerás, antes certamente morrerás.
7 Então ele lhes disse: Qual era a roupa daquele homem que encontrastes, e que vos disse tais palavras?
8 E eles lhe responderam: Um homem vestido de pelos, e cingia seus lombos com um cinto de couro. Então ele disse: É Elias, o tisbita.
9 E enviou logo a ele um capitão de cinquenta com seus cinquenta, o qual subiu a ele; e eis que ele estava sentado no cume do monte. E ele lhe disse: Homem de Deus, o rei disse que desças.
10 E Elias respondeu, e disse ao capitão de cinquenta: 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.
