2Ki 1:9-16:

9 So he sent a captain with his fifty soldiers to look for Eliyah and they found him sitting on the top of a hill. The captain called out, “Man of God, the king wants to see you.”

10 But Eliyah replied, “Well, if I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your men,” and fire came down from the sky, and it burnt up the captain and his men.

11 So the king sent another captain with his fifty men and they went to where Eliyah was and called out to him, “Prophet, the king commands that you come with us right now.”

12 Again Eliyah replied, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the sky and consume you and your men,” and God’s fire came down from the sky, and it burnt up the captain and his men.

13 So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. They went to where Eliyah was and the officer knelt down in front of him and pleaded, “Prophet, I beg you, be kind to me and my fifty soldiers, and don’t kill us. 14 Listen, fire came down from the sky and burnt up the first two captains and their men, but please treat my life as valuable in your sight.”

15 Then Yahweh’s messenger told Eliyah, “Go with them. Don’t be afraid of him.”

So Eliyah went with them to the king 16 and told him, “Yahweh says that you sent messengers to inquire from Ekron’s god Ba’al-Zevuv, as if there’s no god in Yisrael (Israel) to ask. Therefore, he says, you certainly won’t get off that bed that you’re on because you’ll die in it.”
