H7227
And it came to pass after many
H3117
days,
H1697
that the word
H3068
of Jehovah
H452
came to Elijah,
H7992
in the third
H8141
year,
H559
saying,
H3212
Go,
H7200
show
H256
thyself unto Ahab;
H5414
and I will send
H4306
rain
H6440
upon
H127
the earth.
2
H452
And Elijah
H3212
went
H7200
to show
H256
himself unto Ahab.
H7458
And the famine
H2389
was sore
H8111
in Samaria.
3
H256
And Ahab
H7121
called
H5662
Obadiah,
H1004
who was over the household.
H5662
(Now Obadiah
H3373
feared
H3068
Jehovah
H3966
greatly:
4
H348
for it was so, when Jezebel
H3772
cut off
H5030
the prophets
H3068
of Jehovah,
H5662
that Obadiah
H3947
took
H3967
a hundred
H5030
prophets,
H2244
and hid
H376
them by fifty
H4631
in a cave,
H3557
and fed
H3899
them with bread
H4325
and water.)
5
H256
And Ahab
H559
said
H5662
unto Obadiah,
H3212
Go
H776
through the land,
H4599
unto all the fountains
H4325
of water,
H5158
and unto all the brooks:
H194
peradventure
H4672
we may find
H2682
grass
H2421
and save
H5483
the horses
H6505
and mules
H2421
alive,
H3772
that we lose
H929
not all the beasts.
6
H2505
So they divided
H776
the land
H5674
between them to pass throughout
H256
it: Ahab
H1980
went
H259
one
H1870
way
H5662
by himself, and Obadiah
H1980
went
H259
another
H1870
way by himself.
7
H5662
And as Obadiah
H1870
was in the way,
H452
behold, Elijah
H7125
met
H5234
him: and he knew
H5307
him, and fell
H6440
on his face,
H559
and said,
H113
Is it thou, my lord
H452
Elijah?
8
H559
And he answered
H3212
him, It is I: go,
H559
tell
H113
thy lord,
H452
Behold, Elijah is here.
9
H559
And he said,
H2398
Wherein have I sinned,
H5414
that thou wouldest deliver
H5650
thy servant
H3027
into the hand
H256
of Ahab,
H4191
to slay me?
10
H3068
As Jehovah
H430
thy God
H2416
liveth,
H3426
there is no
H1471
nation
H4467
or kingdom,
H834
whither
H113
my lord
H7971
hath not sent
H1245
to seek
H559
thee: and when they said,
H7650
He is not here, he took an oath
H4467
of the kingdom
H1471
and nation,
H4672
that they found thee not.
12
H3212
And it will come to pass, as soon as I am gone
H7307
from thee, that the Spirit
H3068
of Jehovah
H5375
will carry
H3045
thee whither I know
H935
not; and so when I come
H5046
and tell
H256
Ahab,
H4672
and he cannot find
H2026
thee, he will slay
H5650
me: but I thy servant
H3372
fear
H3068
Jehovah
H5271
from my youth.
13
H5046
Was it not told
H113
my lord
H6213
what I did
H348
when Jezebel
H2026
slew
H5030
the prophets
H3068
of Jehovah,
H2244
how I hid
H3967
a hundred
H376
men
H3068
of Jehovah's
H5030
prophets
H2572
by fifty
H4631
in a cave,
H3557
and fed
H3899
them with bread
H4325
and water?
14
H559
And now thou sayest,
H3212
Go,
H559
tell
H113
thy lord,
H452
Behold, Elijah
H2026
is here; and he will slay me.
15
H452
And Elijah
H559
said,
H3068
As Jehovah
H6635
of hosts
H2416
liveth,
H6440
before
H5975
whom I stand,
H7200
I will surely show
H3117
myself unto him to-day.
16
H5662
So Obadiah
H3212
went
H7125
to meet
H256
Ahab,
H5046
and told
H256
him; and Ahab
H3212
went
H7125
to meet
H452
Elijah.
17
H256
And it came to pass, when Ahab
H7200
saw
H452
Elijah,
H256
that Ahab
H559
said
H5916
unto him, Is it thou, thou troubler
H3478
of Israel?
18
H559
And he answered,
H5916
I have not troubled
H3478
Israel;
H1
but thou, and thy father's
H1004
house,
H5800
in that ye have forsaken
H4687
the commandments
H3068
of Jehovah,
H3212
and thou hast followed
H1168
the Baalim.
19
H7971
Now therefore send,
H6908
and gather
H3478
to me all Israel
H2022
unto mount
H3760
Carmel,
H5030
and the prophets
H1168
of Baal
H702
four
H3967
hundred
H2572
and fifty,
H5030
and the prophets
H842
of the Asherah
H702
four
H3967
hundred,
H398
that eat
H348
at Jezebel's
H7979
table.
20
H256
So Ahab
H7971
sent
H1121
unto all the children
H3478
of Israel,
H6908
and gathered
H5030
the prophets
H6908
together
H2022
unto mount
H3760
Carmel.
21
H452
And Elijah
H5066
came
H5971
near unto all the people,
H559
and said,
H5921
How long
H6452
go ye limping
H8147
between the two
H3068
sides? if Jehovah
H430
be God,
H3212
follow
H1168
him; but if Baal,
H3212
then follow
H5971
him. And the people
H6030
answered
H1697
him not a word.
22
H559
Then said
H452
Elijah
H5971
unto the people,
H3498
I, even I only, am left
H5030
a prophet
H3068
of Jehovah;
H1168
but Baal's
H5030
prophets
H702
are four
H3967
hundred
H2572
and fifty
H376
men.
23
H5414
Let them therefore give
H8147
us two
H6499
bullocks;
H977
and let them choose
H259
one
H6499
bullock
H5408
for themselves, and cut it in pieces,
H7760
and lay
H6086
it on the wood,
H7760
and put
H784
no fire
H6213
under; and I will dress
H259
the other
H6499
bullock,
H5414
and lay
H6086
it on the wood,
H7760
and put
H784
no fire under.
24
H7121
And call
H8034
ye on the name
H430
of your god,
H7121
and I will call
H8034
on the name
H3068
of Jehovah;
H430
and the God
H6030
that answereth
H784
by fire,
H430
let him be God.
H5971
And all the people
H6030
answered
H6030
and said,
H2896
It is well
H559
spoken.
25
H452
And Elijah
H559
said
H5030
unto the prophets
H1168
of Baal,
H977
Choose
H259
you one
H6499
bullock
H6213
for yourselves, and dress
H7223
it first;
H7227
for ye are many;
H7121
and call
H8034
on the name
H430
of your god,
H7760
but put
H784
no fire under.
26
H3947
And they took
H6499
the bullock
H5414
which was given
H6213
them, and they dressed
H7121
it, and called
H8034
on the name
H1168
of Baal
H1242
from morning
H6672
even until noon,
H559
saying,
H1168
O Baal,
H6030
hear
H369
us. But there was no
H6963
voice,
H6030
nor any that answered.
H6452
And they leaped
H4196
about the altar
H6213
which was made.
27
H6672
And it came to pass at noon,
H452
that Elijah
H2048
mocked
H559
them, and said,
H7121
Cry
H1419
aloud;
H430
for he is a god:
H7879
either he is musing,
H7873
or he is gone aside,
H1870
or he is on a journey,
H194
or peradventure
H3463
he sleepeth
H3364
and must be awaked.
28
H7121
And they cried
H6963
aloud,
H1413
and cut
H4941
themselves after their manner
H2719
with knives
H7420
and lances,
H1818
till the blood
H8210
gushed out upon them.
29
H6672
And it was so, when midday
H5674
was past,
H5012
that they prophesied
H5927
until the time of the offering
H5927
of the evening oblation;
H6963
but there was neither voice,
H6030
nor any to answer,
H7182
nor any that regarded.
30
H452
And Elijah
H559
said
H5971
unto all the people,
H5066
Come near
H5971
unto me; and all the people
H5066
came near
H7495
unto him. And he repaired
H4196
the altar
H3068
of Jehovah
H2040
that was thrown down.
31
H452
And Elijah
H3947
took
H8147
twelve
H68
stones,
H4557
according to the number
H7626
of the tribes
H1121
of the sons
H3290
of Jacob,
H1697
unto whom the word
H3068
of Jehovah
H559
came, saying,
H3478
Israel
H8034
shall be thy name.
32
H68
And with the stones
H1129
he built
H4196
an altar
H8034
in the name
H3068
of Jehovah;
H6213
and he made
H8585
a trench
H5439
about
H4196
the altar,
H1004
as great as would contain
H5429
two measures
H2233
of seed.
33
H6186
And he put
H6086
the wood
H6186
in order,
H5408
and cut
H6499
the bullock
H7760
in pieces, and laid
H6086
it on the wood.
H559
And he said,
H4390
Fill
H702
four
H3537
jars
H4325
with water,
H3332
and pour
H5930
it on the burnt-offering,
H6086
and on the wood.
34
H559
And he said,
H8138
Do it the second time;
H8138
and they did it the second time.
H559
And he said,
H8027
Do it the third time;
H8027
and they did it the third time.
35
H4325
And the water
H3212
ran
H5439
round about
H4196
the altar;
H4390
and he filled
H8585
the trench
H4325
also with water.
36
H5927
And it came to pass at the time of the offering
H4503
of the evening oblation,
H452
that Elijah
H5030
the prophet
H5066
came near,
H559
and said,
H3068
O Jehovah,
H430
the God
H85
of Abraham,
H3327
of Isaac,
H3478
and of Israel,
H3045
let it be known
H3117
this day
H430
that thou art God
H3478
in Israel,
H5650
and that I am thy servant,
H6213
and that I have done
H1697
all these things at thy word.
37
H6030
Hear
H3068
me, O Jehovah,
H6030
hear
H5971
me, that this people
H3045
may know
H3068
that thou, Jehovah,
H430
art God,
H5437
and that thou hast turned
H3820
their heart
H5437
back
H322
again.
38
H784
Then the fire
H3068
of Jehovah
H5307
fell,
H398
and consumed
H5930
the burnt-offering,
H6086
and the wood,
H68
and the stones,
H6083
and the dust,
H3897
and licked up
H4325
the water
H8585
that was in the trench.
39
H5971
And when all the people
H7200
saw
H5307
it, they fell
H6440
on their faces:
H559
and they said,
H3068
Jehovah,
H430
he is God;
H3068
Jehovah,
H430
he is God.
40
H452
and Elijah
H559
said
H8610
unto them, Take
H5030
the prophets
H1168
of Baal;
H376
let not one
H4422
of them escape.
H8610
And they took
H452
them; and Elijah
H3381
brought them down
H5158
to the brook
H7028
Kishon,
H7819
and slew them there.
41
H452
And Elijah
H559
said
H256
unto Ahab,
H5927
Get thee up,
H398
eat
H8354
and drink;
H6963
for there is the sound
H1995
of abundance
H1653
of rain.
42
H256
So Ahab
H5927
went up
H398
to eat
H8354
and to drink.
H452
And Elijah
H5927
went up
H7218
to the top
H3760
of Carmel;
H1457
and he bowed himself down
H776
upon the earth,
H7760
and put
H6440
his face
H1290
between his knees.
43
H559
And he said
H5288
to his servant,
H5927
Go up
H5027
now, look
H1870
toward
H3220
the sea.
H5927
And he went up,
H5027
and looked,
H559
and said,
H3972
There is nothing.
H559
And he said,
H7725
Go again
H7651
seven
H6471
times.
44
H7637
And it came to pass at the seventh time,
H559
that he said,
H5927
Behold, there ariseth
H5645
a cloud
H3220
out of the sea,
H6996
as small
H376
as a man's
H3709
hand.
H559
And he said,
H5927
Go up,
H559
say
H256
unto Ahab,
H631
Make ready
H3381
thy chariot, and get thee down,
H1653
that the rain
H6113
stop thee not.
