Fifty strong men - Probably the same fifty who are mentioned 2Ki 2:7, and who saw Elijah taken up in the whirlwind.

Cast him upon some mountain - Though they saw him taken up towards heaven, yet they thought it possible that the Spirit of the Lord might have descended with him, and left him on some remote mountain or valley.

Ye shall not send - He knew that he was translated to heaven, and that therefore it would be useless.
