KJV_Strongs(i)
  1 H7227 And it came to pass after many H3117 days H1697 , that the word H3068 of the LORD H452 came to Elijah H7992 in the third H8141 year H559 , saying [H8800]   H3212 , Go [H8798]   H7200 , shew [H8734]   H256 thyself unto Ahab H5414 ; and I will send [H8799]   H4306 rain H6440 upon H127 the earth.
  2 H452 And Elijah H3212 went [H8799]   H7200 to shew [H8736]   H256 himself unto Ahab H2389 . And there was a sore H7458 famine H8111 in Samaria.
  3 H256 And Ahab H7121 called [H8799]   H5662 Obadiah H1004 , which was the governor of his house H5662 . (Now Obadiah H3373 feared H3068 the LORD H3966 greatly:
  4 H348 For it was so, when Jezebel H3772 cut off [H8687]   H5030 the prophets H3068 of the LORD H5662 , that Obadiah H3947 took [H8799]   H3967 an hundred H5030 prophets H2244 , and hid [H8686]   H376 them by fifty H2572   H4631 in a cave H3557 , and fed [H8773]   H3899 them with bread H4325 and water.)
  5 H256 And Ahab H559 said [H8799]   H5662 unto Obadiah H3212 , Go [H8798]   H776 into the land H4599 , unto all fountains H4325 of water H5158 , and unto all brooks H194 : peradventure H4672 we may find [H8799]   H2682 grass H2421 to save [H8762]   H5483 the horses H6505 and mules H2421 alive [H8762]   H3772 , that we lose [H8686]   H929 not all the beasts.
  6 H2505 So they divided [H8762]   H776 the land H5674 between them to pass throughout [H8800]   H256 it: Ahab H1980 went [H8804]   H259 one H1870 way H5662 by himself, and Obadiah H1980 went [H8804]   H259 another H1870 way by himself.
  7 H5662 And as Obadiah H1870 was in the way H452 , behold, Elijah H7125 met [H8800]   H5234 him: and he knew [H8686]   H5307 him, and fell [H8799]   H6440 on his face H559 , and said [H8799]   H113 , Art thou that my lord H452 Elijah?
  8 H559 And he answered [H8799]   H3212 him, I am : go [H8798]   H559 , tell [H8798]   H113 thy lord H452 , Behold, Elijah is here .
  9 H559 And he said [H8799]   H2398 , What have I sinned [H8804]   H5414 , that thou wouldest deliver [H8802]   H5650 thy servant H3027 into the hand H256 of Ahab H4191 , to slay [H8687]   me?
  10 H3068 As the LORD H430 thy God H2416 liveth H3426 , there is no H1471 nation H4467 or kingdom H834 , whither H113 my lord H7971 hath not sent [H8804]   H1245 to seek [H8763]   H559 thee: and when they said [H8804]   H7650 , He is not there; he took an oath [H8689]   H4467 of the kingdom H1471 and nation H4672 , that they found [H8799]   thee not.
  11 H559 And now thou sayest [H8802]   H3212 , Go [H8798]   H559 , tell [H8798]   H113 thy lord H452 , Behold, Elijah is here .
  12 H3212 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone [H8799]   H7307 from thee, that the Spirit H3068 of the LORD H5375 shall carry [H8799]   H3045 thee whither I know [H8799]   H935 not; and so when I come [H8804]   H5046 and tell [H8687]   H256 Ahab H4672 , and he cannot find [H8799]   H2026 thee, he shall slay [H8804]   H5650 me: but I thy servant H3372 fear [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H5271 from my youth.
  13 H5046 Was it not told [H8717]   H113 my lord H6213 what I did [H8804]   H348 when Jezebel H2026 slew [H8800]   H5030 the prophets H3068 of the LORD H2244 , how I hid [H8686]   H3967 an hundred H376 men H3068 of the LORD'S H5030 prophets H2572 by fifty H4631 in a cave H3557 , and fed [H8770]   H3899 them with bread H4325 and water?
  14 H559 And now thou sayest [H8802]   H3212 , Go [H8798]   H559 , tell [H8798]   H113 thy lord H452 , Behold, Elijah H2026 is here : and he shall slay [H8804]   me.
  15 H452 And Elijah H559 said [H8799]   H3068 , As the LORD H6635 of hosts H2416 liveth H6440 , before H5975 whom I stand [H8804]   H7200 , I will surely shew [H8735]   H3117 myself unto him to day.
  16 H5662 So Obadiah H3212 went [H8799]   H7125 to meet [H8800]   H256 Ahab H5046 , and told [H8686]   H256 him: and Ahab H3212 went [H8799]   H7125 to meet [H8800]   H452 Elijah.
  17 H256 And it came to pass, when Ahab H7200 saw [H8800]   H452 Elijah H256 , that Ahab H559 said [H8799]   H5916 unto him, Art thou he that troubleth [H8802]   H3478 Israel?
  18 H559 And he answered [H8799]   H5916 , I have not troubled [H8804]   H3478 Israel H1 ; but thou, and thy father's H1004 house H5800 , in that ye have forsaken [H8800]   H4687 the commandments H3068 of the LORD H3212 , and thou hast followed [H8799]   H310   H1168 Baalim.
  19 H7971 Now therefore send [H8798]   H6908 , and gather [H8798]   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 groves H702 four H3967 hundred H398 , which eat [H8802]   H348 at Jezebel's H7979 table.
  20 H256 So Ahab H7971 sent [H8799]   H1121 unto all the children H3478 of Israel H6908 , and gathered H5030 the prophets H6908 together [H8799]   H2022 unto mount H3760 Carmel.
  21 H452 And Elijah H5066 came [H8799]   H5971 unto all the people H559 , and said [H8799]   H5921 , How long H6452 halt [H8802]   H8147 ye between two H5587 opinions H3068 ? if the LORD H430 be God H1168 , follow him: but if Baal H3212 , then follow [H8798]   H310   H5971 him. And the people H6030 answered [H8804]   H1697 him not a word.
  22 H559 Then said [H8799]   H452 Elijah H5971 unto the people H3498 , I, even I only, remain [H8738]   H5030 a prophet H3068 of the LORD H1168 ; but Baal's H5030 prophets H702 are four H3967 hundred H2572 and fifty H376 men.
  23 H5414 Let them therefore give [H8799]   H8147 us two H6499 bullocks H977 ; and let them choose [H8799]   H259 one H6499 bullock H5408 for themselves, and cut it in pieces [H8762]   H7760 , and lay [H8799]   H6086 it on wood H7760 , and put [H8799]   H784 no fire H6213 under : and I will dress [H8799]   H259 the other H6499 bullock H5414 , and lay [H8804]   H6086 it on wood H7760 , and put [H8799]   H784 no fire under :
  24 H7121 And call [H8804]   H8034 ye on the name H430 of your gods H7121 , and I will call [H8799]   H8034 on the name H3068 of the LORD H430 : and the God H6030 that answereth [H8799]   H784 by fire H430 , let him be God H5971 . And all the people H6030 answered [H8799]   H559 and said [H8799]   H2896 , It is well H1697 spoken.
  25 H452 And Elijah H559 said [H8799]   H5030 unto the prophets H1168 of Baal H977 , Choose [H8798]   H259 you one H6499 bullock H6213 for yourselves, and dress [H8798]   H7223 it first H7227 ; for ye are many H7121 ; and call [H8798]   H8034 on the name H430 of your gods H7760 , but put [H8799]   H784 no fire under .
  26 H3947 And they took [H8799]   H6499 the bullock H5414 which was given [H8804]   H6213 them, and they dressed [H8799]   H7121 it, and called [H8799]   H8034 on the name H1168 of Baal H1242 from morning H6672 even until noon H559 , saying [H8800]   H1168 , O Baal H6030 , hear [H8798]   H369 us. But there was no H6963 voice H6030 , nor any that answered [H8802]   H6452 . And they leaped [H8762]   H4196 upon the altar H6213 which was made [H8804]  .
  27 H6672 And it came to pass at noon H452 , that Elijah H2048 mocked [H8762]   H559 them, and said [H8799]   H7121 , Cry [H8798]   H1419 aloud H6963   H430 : for he is a god H7879 ; either he is talking H7873 , or he is pursuing H1870 , or he is in a journey H194 , or peradventure H3463 he sleepeth H3364 , and must be awaked [H8799]  .
  28 H7121 And they cried [H8799]   H6963 aloud H1419   H1413 , and cut [H8704]   H4941 themselves after their manner H2719 with knives H7420 and lancets H1818 , till the blood H8210 gushed out [H8800]   upon them.
  29 H6672 And it came to pass, when midday H5674 was past [H8800]   H5012 , and they prophesied [H8691]   H5927 until the time of the offering [H8800]   H4503 of the evening sacrifice H6963 , that there was neither voice H6030 , nor any to answer [H8802]   H7182 , nor any that regarded.
  30 H452 And Elijah H559 said [H8799]   H5971 unto all the people H5066 , Come near [H8798]   H5971 unto me. And all the people H5066 came near [H8799]   H7495 unto him. And he repaired [H8762]   H4196 the altar H3068 of the LORD H2040 that was broken down [H8803]  .
  31 H452 And Elijah H3947 took [H8799]   H8147 twelve H6240   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 the LORD H559 came, saying [H8800]   H3478 , Israel H8034 shall be thy name:
  32 H68 And with the stones H1129 he built [H8799]   H4196 an altar H8034 in the name H3068 of the LORD H6213 : and he made [H8799]   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 [H8799]   H5408 , and cut [H8762]   H6499 the bullock H7760 in pieces, and laid [H8799]   H6086 him on the wood H559 , and said [H8799]   H4390 , Fill [H8798]   H702 four H3537 barrels H4325 with water H3332 , and pour [H8798]   H5930 it on the burnt sacrifice H6086 , and on the wood.
  34 H559 And he said [H8799]   H8138 , Do it the second time [H8798]   H8138 . And they did it the second time [H8799]   H559 . And he said [H8799]   H8027 , Do it the third time [H8761]   H8027 . And they did it the third time [H8762]  .
  35 H4325 And the water H3212 ran [H8799]   H5439 round about H4196 the altar H4390 ; and he filled [H8765]   H8585 the trench H4325 also with water.
  36 H5927 And it came to pass at the time of the offering [H8800]   H4503 of the evening sacrifice H452 , that Elijah H5030 the prophet H5066 came near [H8799]   H559 , and said [H8799]   H3068 , LORD H430 God H85 of Abraham H3327 , Isaac H3478 , and of Israel H3045 , let it be known [H8735]   H3117 this day H430 that thou art God H3478 in Israel H5650 , and that I am thy servant H6213 , and that I have done [H8804]   H1697 all these things at thy word.
  37 H6030 Hear [H8798]   H3068 me, O LORD H6030 , hear [H8798]   H5971 me, that this people H3045 may know [H8799]   H3068 that thou art the LORD H430 God H5437 , and that thou hast turned H3820 their heart H5437 back [H8689]   H322 again.
  38 H784 Then the fire H3068 of the LORD H5307 fell [H8799]   H398 , and consumed [H8799]   H5930 the burnt sacrifice H6086 , and the wood H68 , and the stones H6083 , and the dust H3897 , and licked up [H8765]   H4325 the water H8585 that was in the trench.
  39 H5971 And when all the people H7200 saw [H8799]   H5307 it, they fell [H8799]   H6440 on their faces H559 : and they said [H8799]   H3068 , The LORD H430 , he is the God H3068 ; the LORD H430 , he is the God.
  40 H452 And Elijah H559 said [H8799]   H8610 unto them, Take [H8798]   H5030 the prophets H1168 of Baal H376 ; let not one H4422 of them escape [H8735]   H8610 . And they took [H8799]   H452 them: and Elijah H3381 brought them down [H8686]   H5158 to the brook H7028 Kishon H7819 , and slew [H8799]   them there.
  41 H452 And Elijah H559 said [H8799]   H256 unto Ahab H5927 , Get thee up [H8798]   H398 , eat [H8798]   H8354 and drink [H8798]   H6963 ; for there is a sound H1995 of abundance H1653 of rain.
  42 H256 So Ahab H5927 went up [H8799]   H398 to eat [H8800]   H8354 and to drink [H8800]   H452 . And Elijah H5927 went up [H8804]   H7218 to the top H3760 of Carmel H1457 ; and he cast himself down [H8799]   H776 upon the earth H7760 , and put [H8799]   H6440 his face H1290 between his knees,
  43 H559 And said [H8799]   H5288 to his servant H5927 , Go up [H8798]   H5027 now, look [H8685]   H1870 toward H3220 the sea H5927 . And he went up [H8799]   H5027 , and looked [H8686]   H559 , and said [H8799]   H3972 , There is nothing H559 . And he said [H8799]   H7725 , Go again [H8798]   H7651 seven H6471 times.
  44 H7637 And it came to pass at the seventh time H559 , that he said [H8799]   H5927 , Behold, there ariseth [H8802]   H6996 a little H5645 cloud H3220 out of the sea H376 , like a man's H3709 hand H559 . And he said [H8799]   H5927 , Go up [H8798]   H559 , say [H8798]   H256 unto Ahab H631 , Prepare [H8798]   H3381 thy chariot, and get thee down [H8798]   H1653 , that the rain H6113 stop [H8799]   thee not.
  45 H3541 And it came to pass in the mean while H8064 , that the heaven H6937 was black [H8694]   H5645 with clouds H7307 and wind H1419 , and there was a great H1653 rain H256 . And Ahab H7392 rode [H8799]   H3212 , and went [H8799]   H3157 to Jezreel.
  46 H3027 And the hand H3068 of the LORD H452 was on Elijah H8151 ; and he girded up [H8762]   H4975 his loins H7323 , and ran [H8799]   H6440 before H256 Ahab H935 to the entrance [H8800]   H3157 of Jezreel.
