The third captain of fifty begs for his life, and Elijah goes down to the king and tells him the LORD’s word

세째 오십부장의 간구와 왕에게 내려간 엘리야가 고한 여호와의 말씀

2 Kings 1:13–16: Again he sends the captain of a third fifty with his fifty; the Korean Revised Version names the king here (왕이 세번째 오십부장과 그 오십인을 보낸지라). The third captain of fifty goes up, and comes and falls on his knees before Elijah, and begs him, and says to him, “Man of God, please let my life and the life of these fifty of your servants be precious in your sight. Behold, fire came down from the sky and consumed the last two captains of fifty with their fifties. But now let my life be precious in your sight.” The LORD’s angel says to Elijah, “Go down with him. Don’t be afraid of him.” Then he arises and goes down with him to the king. He says to him, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up, but you will surely die.’” At 1:15 the Korean Revised Version gives the angel’s words in the other order (너는 저를 두려워 말고 함께 내려가라, Don’t be afraid of him, and go down with him) and names Elijah (엘리야가 곧 일어나), where WEB says “he”; at 1:16 it names no one (고하되), where WEB says “He said to him”.
