Why does it say "va'Ya'al va'Yavo"?
Malbim: He went alone, without a camp to force Eliyahu to descend; rather, to appease him 1 .
If so, why did he go with 50 men? Malbim implies that the king commanded him to take 50, to take Eliyahu by force (refer to 1:14:2:1), but the Sar realized that the others should stay afar. (PF)
