One day while King Ahaziah was walking around the lattice of his upper room, he fell and injured himself. Being near the point of death, he sent servants to seek the prophets of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, to see if he would recover. But on the way there the word of God came to Elijah and He sent him to intervene. When Elijah’s message came to the King, he sent fifty men to arrest him. But when they arrived to take him in, they were consumed by fire. So the King sent another fifty, and another fifty. It wasn’t until the third time that the captain humbled himself before Elijah and the men lived to take him in. But his message to the King was the same as before.
