UTNuW Translation Notes:

(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,them if (a)_man the=ʼElohīm I come_down fire from/more_than the=heavens and,consume DOM,you and=DOM fifty_of,your and,came_down fire_of ʼElohīm from/more_than the=heavens and=she/it_ate DOM=him/it and=DOM fifty_of,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. See how you translated this phrase in [2 Kings 1:10](../01/10.md). 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”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

(Occurrence 0) fire of God

(Some words not found in UHB: and,answered ʼĒliyyāh and=he/it_spoke to,them if (a)_man the=ʼElohīm I come_down fire from/more_than the=heavens and,consume DOM,you and=DOM fifty_of,your and,came_down fire_of ʼElohīm from/more_than the=heavens and=she/it_ate DOM=him/it and=DOM fifty_of,his )

This means that the fire came from God. Alternate translation: “fire from God”
