Commentary on 2 Kings 1:15

Theological / Devotional

Go down. God would not allow His servant to be coerced by the wicked king. Ahaziah had had the evidence of a wonderful display of divine power, but he refused to humble himself before the Most High. He deserved a message of stern rebuke, and Elijah was commissioned to go with the soldiers to deliver that message. Elijah was told not to fear. After bringing down fire from heaven at Carmel, Elijah had allowed himself to succumb to his fears before the wrath of Jezebel. Now he was particularly admonished not to be afraid of the king in spite of these three exhibitions of Ahaziah’s wrath.
