2 Kings 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.
Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty,.... Not in honour to him, but to bring him by force if he refused to come willingly:
And he went up to him, and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill; generally supposed to be Mount Carmel;
And he spake unto him; at the bottom of the hill, so loud that he might hear him:
Thou man of God; or the prophet of the Lord, as the Targum, as thou callest thyself; for this was said in a sneering, flouting, manner:
the king hath said, Come down; and in the king's name he ordered him to come down, signifying, if he would not, he would send his men to fetch him down.
