1:9-10 The arrogant words of the army captain contained a contradiction, which Elijah pointed out: If Elijah was a man of God (i.e., God’s prophet), then his authority was from God and to ignore him was to invite peril (Deut 18:15-19).
• Fire often symbolizes the presence of God in the Scriptures (see Exod 3:1-6; 19:18; cp. 1 Kgs 18:38).
• Fifty soldiers was a common grouping (1 Kgs 18:4); here it indicates a division within Israel’s military organization.
(Occurrence 0) If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven
(Some words not found in UHB: and,answered ʼĒliyyāh and=he/it_spoke to/towards chief the,fifty and=if (a)_man ʼElohīm I come_down fire from/more_than the=heavens and,consume DOM,you and=DOM fifty,your and,came_down fire from/more_than the=heavens and=she/it_ate DOM=him/it and=DOM fifty,his )
The captain had called Elijah a man of God, but the captain and the king did not show Elijah proper respect. Elijah said this so that fire would come down from heaven, and this would prove that Elijah really was a man of God and he deserved their respect. Alternate translation: “Since I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven” or “If I am a man of God as you have said, let fire come down from heaven”
