2 Kings 1:7-9

The Message

⁷ The king said, “Tell me more about this man who met you and said these things to you. What was he like?”

⁸ “Shaggy,” they said, “and wearing a leather belt.”

He said, “That has to be Elijah the Tishbite!”

⁹ The king sent a captain with fifty men to Elijah. Meanwhile Elijah was sitting, big as life, on top of a hill. The captain said, “O Holy Man! King’s orders: Come down!”
