TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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.
