2Ki 1:15-16 | MHM | STEP | v. 15–16 : God told Elijah to go with the third captain and not to be afraid. Elijah went to the king and gave him the same message as before: " You will not leave the bed you are lying on. You will surely die " (2 Kings 1:15-16 ). Elijah was not afraid of the king, but he wanted to honor God by not coming when ordered by force. Now, by God’s command, he went boldly and delivered God’s judgment face to face. No one dared to harm Elijah, because God protected him.
