Fire comes down from the sky and consumes two captains of fifty sent to Elijah, with their fifties

하늘에서 내려온 불이 엘리야에게 보낸 두 오십부장과 그 오십인을 사름

2 Kings 1:9–12: Then the king sends a captain of fifty with his fifty to Elijah. The captain goes up to him; and behold, Elijah was sitting on the top of the hill. The captain says to him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down!’” Elijah answers the captain of fifty, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then fire comes down from the sky, and consumes him and his fifty. Again the king sends to Elijah another captain of fifty with his fifty. That captain answers him, “Man of God, the king has said, ‘Come down quickly!’” Elijah answers them, “If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your fifty!” Then God’s fire comes down from the sky, and consumes him and his fifty. At 1:9 WEB says “to him”, “He went up to him”, “he was sitting” and “He said to him”, where this summary names Elijah and the captain; the Korean Revised Version names Elijah three times in the verse and does not say who sent the captain (이에 오십부장과 그 오십인을 엘리야에게로 보내매). At 1:11 it names the king and Elijah (왕이 다시 다른 오십부장과 그 오십인을 엘리야에게로 보내니), where WEB reads “Again he sent to him”, and reads 일러 가로되 (said) where WEB reads “He answered him”.
