τοῦ δὲ Ἠλία ποιήσαντος ἃ προσέταξεν ὁ θεὸς ἀκούσαντες οἱ ἄγγελοι τὰ παρʼ αὐτοῦ παραχρῆμα ὑπέστρεψαν πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα. θαυμάζοντος δὲ τὸ τάχος τῆς ἐπανόδου καὶ τὴν αἰτίαν ἐρωτήσαντος ἔφασαν ἀπαντῆσαί τινα αὐτοῖς ἄνθρωπον καὶ κωλῦσαι μὲν προσωτέρω χωρεῖν, ἀναστρέψαντας δέ σοι λέγειν ἐξ ἐντολῆς τοῦ Ἰσραηλιτῶν θεοῦ, ὅτι κάκιον ἕξει ἡ νόσος. τοῦ δὲ βασιλέως σημαίνειν αὐτῷ τὸν ταῦτʼ εἰρηκότα κελεύσαντος, ἄνθρωπον ἔλεγον δασὺν καὶ ζώνην περιειλημμένον δερματίνην. συνεὶς δὲ ἐκ τούτων Ἠλίαν εἶναι τὸν σημαινόμενον ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων πέμψας πρὸς αὐτὸν ταξίαρχον καὶ πεντήκοντα ὁπλίτας ἀχθῆναι αὐτὸν ἐκέλευσεν.
