I was the third captain the king sent to bring Elijah down off his hilltop. The two before me had shouted orders up at him, and fire came down from heaven and burned them up, with their fifty men each. So I didn’t give orders. I climbed up and got on my knees. Please, man of God. Spare my life, and the lives of these fifty men.
