jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have
forsaken thy covenant, thrown
down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
“I have been very
zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have
forsaken Your covenant,
torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well.”

Elijah departed.
And they said unto him, There came a man up to meet us, and said unto us, Go, turn again unto the king that sent you, and say unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to
enquire of
Baal-
zebub the god of
Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come
down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
They replied, “A man came up to meet us and said, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him that this is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending these men to inquire of
Baal-
zebub, the god of
Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’”

Then King
Ahaziah sent to
Elijah a captain with his company of fifty men. So the captain went up to
Elijah, who was sitting on top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come
down!’”
And
Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come
down from heaven, and
consume thee and thy fifty. And there came
down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come
down from heaven and
consume you and your fifty men.” And fire came
down from heaven and consumed the captain and his fifty men.
Again also he sent unto him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said unto him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
So the king sent to
Elijah another captain with his fifty men. And the captain said to
Elijah, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come
down at once!’”
And
Elijah answered and said unto them, If I be a man of God, let fire come
down from heaven, and
consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came
down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.

down from heaven and
consume you and your fifty men.” And the fire of God came
down from heaven and consumed the captain and his fifty men.

down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former
fifties with their
fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
Behold, fire has come down from heaven and consumed the first two captains of fifty, with all their men. But now may my life be precious in your sight.”
And the angel of the LORD said unto
Elijah, Go
down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went
down with him unto the king.
Then the angel of the LORD said to
Elijah, “Go
down with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So
Elijah got up and went
down with him to the king.
And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD,
Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to
enquire of
Baal-
zebub the god of
Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to
enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come
down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
And
Elijah said to King
Ahaziah, “This is what the LORD says: Is there really no God in Israel for you to inquire of His word? Is that why you have sent messengers to inquire of
Baal-
zebub, the god of
Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.”

Bethel.
and
Elijah said to
Elisha, “Please stay here, for the LORD has sent me on to
Bethel.” But

yourself live, I will not leave you.” So they went
down to
Bethel.

smite every
fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and

smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward

smote it.

In this thing the LORD
pardon thy servant, that when my master goeth into the house of
Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of
Rimmon: when I bow
down myself in the house of
Rimmon, the LORD
pardon thy servant in this thing.
Yet may the LORD
forgive your servant this one thing: When my master goes into the temple of
Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my arm, and I bow
down in the temple of
Rimmon, may the LORD
forgive your servant in this matter.”
So Gehazi followed after
Naaman. And when
Naaman saw him running after him, he lighted
down from the
chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?
So Gehazi pursued
Naaman. And when
Naaman saw him running toward him, he got
down from the
chariot to meet him and asked, “Is everything all right?”
And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his
chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?
But
Elisha questioned him, “Did not my spirit go with you when the man got
down from his
chariot to meet you? Is this the time to accept money and clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, menservants and maidservants?
So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.

down some trees.
But as one was felling a beam, the
axe head fell into the water: and he
cried, and said,
Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
As one of them was cutting
down a tree, the iron
axe head fell into the water. “Oh, my master,” he
cried out, “it was borrowed!”
And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut
down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did
swim.
“Where did it fall?” asked the man of God. And when he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it there, and made the iron
float.
And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying,
Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come
down.
Then the man of God sent word to the king of Israel: “Be careful passing by this place, for the Arameans are going down there.”
And when they came
down to him,
Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said,
Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he
smote them with blindness according to the word of
Elisha.
As the Arameans came
down against him,
Elisha prayed to the LORD, “Please strike these people with blindness.” So He struck them with blindness, according to the word of
Elisha.

foretold when the king had come to him.

down to see

Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her face, and
tired her head, and looked out at a window.

Jezreel,
Jezebel heard of it. So she painted her eyes, adorned her head, and looked
down from a window.
And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three eunuchs.
He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” And two or three eunuchs looked down at him.
And he said, Throw her
down. So they threw her
down: and some of her blood was
sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he
trode her under foot.

down!”
yelled Jehu. So they threw her
down, and her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses as they
trampled her underfoot.

Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of
Ahaziah; and we go
down to

Jehu met some relatives of
Ahaziah king of Judah and asked, “Who are you?” “We are relatives of
Ahaziah,” they answered, “and we have come
down to
greet the sons of the king and of the queen mother.”

And all the people of the land went into the house of
Baal, and
brake it
down; his altars and his images
brake they in pieces thoroughly, and
slew Mattan the priest of
Baal before the altars. And the priest appointed officers over the house of the LORD.
So all the people of the land went to the temple of

angry with him and said, “You should have struck the ground five or six times. Then you would have struck
down Aram until you had put an end to it. But now you will strike
down Aram only three times.”
And it came to pass, as they were

down the tall
cedar trees thereof, and the choice
fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his
Carmel.

taunted the Lord, and you have said: “With my many
chariots I have ascended to the heights of the mountains, to the remote peaks of
Lebanon. I have cut
down its tallest cedars, the finest of its
cypresses. I have reached its
farthest outposts, the densest of its forests.

rage against me.

down, your going out and coming in, and your
raging against Me.

down ten degrees:
nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.

down in the
dial of
Ahaz.
So Isaiah the prophet called out to the LORD, and He brought the shadow back the ten steps it had descended on the
stairway of
