II Kings 1:16
The Scripture
(16) And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.

When Ahaziah sent captains of fifty to seize Elijah, fire came down from heaven and consumed two companies before the third captain humbly pleaded for his life and Elijah went with him to deliver the message directly to the king.
