2Ki_1:9 Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.

Ver. 9. Then the king sent.] Stirred up thereto, likely, by his wicked mother Jezebel, who was his counsellor.

A captain of fifty with his fifty.] To fetch him by force.

Behold, he sat on the top of a hill.] Quia sibi timebat, saith Vatablus. "Elias was a man subject to like passion as we are." {Jam_5:17}

Thou man of God.] This he seemeth to say as in a jeer; or, if otherwise, it is no better than a kind confession with a false heart, with bloody hands. The world is full of these windy courtesies, real cruelties.
