1 Kings 18:1 And it came to pass after many7227 days,3117 that the word1697 of the LORD3068 came to Elijah452 in the third7992 year,8141 saying,559 Go,3212 shew7200 thyself unto Ahab;256 and I will send5414 rain4306 upon6440 the earth.127 cr 2 And Elijah452 went3212 to shew7200 himself unto Ahab.256 And there was a sore2389 famine7458 in Samaria.8111 cr 3 And Ahab256 called7121 Obadiah,5662{Heb. Obadiahu} which was the governor{Heb. over his house} of his house.1004 (Now Obadiah5662 feared3373 the LORD3068 greatly:3966 cr 4 For it was so, when Jezebel348{Heb. Izebel} cut off3772 the prophets5030 of the LORD,3068 that Obadiah5662 took3947 an hundred3967 prophets,5030 and hid2244 them by fifty376 2572 in a cave,4631 and fed3557 them with bread3899 and water.)4325 cr 5 And Ahab256 said559 unto Obadiah,5662 Go3212 into the land,776 unto all fountains4599 of water,4325 and unto all brooks:5158 peradventure194 we may find4672 grass2682 to save2421 the horses5483 and mules6505 alive,2421 that we lose3772 not all the beasts.929{Heb. that we are not cut off ourselves from the beasts} cr 6 So they divided2505 the land776 between them to pass throughout5674 it: Ahab256 went1980 one259 way1870 by himself, and Obadiah5662 went1980 another259 way1870 by himself. cr

1 Kings 18:7 And as Obadiah5662 was in the way,1870 behold, Elijah452 met7125 him: and he knew5234 him, and fell5307 on his face,6440 and said,559 Art thou that my lord113 Elijah?452 cr 8 And he answered559 him, I am: go,3212 tell559 thy lord,113 Behold, Elijah452 is here. cr 9 And he said,559 What have I sinned,2398 that thou wouldest deliver5414 thy servant5650 into the hand3027 of Ahab,256 to slay4191 me? cr 10 As the LORD3068 thy God430 liveth,2416 there is no3426 nation1471 or kingdom,4467 whither834 my lord113 hath not sent7971 to seek1245 thee: and when they said,559 He is not there; he took an oath7650 of the kingdom4467 and nation,1471 that they found4672 thee not. cr 11 And now thou sayest,559 Go,3212 tell559 thy lord,113 Behold, Elijah452 is here. cr 12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone3212 from thee, that the Spirit7307 of the LORD3068 shall carry5375 thee whither I know3045 not; and so when I come935 and tell5046 Ahab,256 and he cannot find4672 thee, he shall slay2026 me: but I thy servant5650 fear3372 the LORD3068 from my youth.5271 cr 13 Was it not told5046 my lord113 what I did6213 when Jezebel348 slew2026 the prophets5030 of the LORD,3068 how I hid2244 an hundred3967 men376 of the LORD'S3068 prophets5030 by fifty2572 in a cave,4631 and fed3557 them with bread3899 and water?4325 cr 14 And now thou sayest,559 Go,3212 tell559 thy lord,113 Behold, Elijah452 is here: and he shall slay2026 me. cr 15 And Elijah452 said,559 As the LORD3068 of hosts6635 liveth,2416 before6440 whom I stand,5975 I will surely shew7200 myself unto him to day.3117 cr 16 So Obadiah5662 went3212 to meet7125 Ahab,256 and told5046 him: and Ahab256 went3212 to meet7125 Elijah.452 cr

1 Kings 18:17 And it came to pass, when Ahab256 saw7200 Elijah,452 that Ahab256 said559 unto him, Art thou he that troubleth5916 Israel?3478 cr 18 And he answered,559 I have not troubled5916 Israel;3478 but thou, and thy father's1 house,1004 in that ye have forsaken5800 the commandments4687 of the LORD,3068 and thou hast followed3212 310 Baalim.1168 cr 19 Now therefore send,7971 and gather6908 to me all Israel3478 unto mount2022 Carmel,3760 and the prophets5030 of Baal1168 four702 hundred3967 and fifty,2572 and the prophets5030 of the groves842 four702 hundred,3967 which eat398 at Jezebel's348 table.7979 cr

1 Kings 18:20 So Ahab256 sent7971 unto all the children1121 of Israel,3478 and gathered6908 2794 the prophets5030 together6908 unto mount2022 Carmel.3760 cr 21 And Elijah452 came5066 unto all the people,5971 and said,559 How long5921 halt6452 ye between two8147 opinions?5587{Or, thoughts} if the LORD3068 be God,430 follow him: but if Baal,1168 then follow3212 310 him. And the people5971 answered6030 him not a word.1697 cr 22 Then said559 Elijah452 unto the people,5971 I, even I only, remain3498 a prophet5030 of the LORD;3068 but Baal's1168 prophets5030 are four702 hundred3967 and fifty2572 men.376 cr 23 Let them therefore give5414 us two8147 bullocks;6499 and let them choose977 one259 bullock6499 for themselves, and cut it in pieces,5408 and lay7760 it on wood,6086 and put7760 no fire784 under: and I will dress6213 the other259 bullock,6499 and lay5414 it on wood,6086 and put7760 no fire784 under: cr 24 And call7121 ye on the name8034 of your gods,430 and I will call7121 on the name8034 of the LORD:3068 and the God430 that answereth6030 by fire,784 let him be God.430 And all the people5971 answered6030 and said,559 It is well2896 spoken.1697{Heb. the word is good} cr

1 Kings 18:25 And Elijah452 said559 unto the prophets5030 of Baal,1168 Choose977 you one259 bullock6499 for yourselves, and dress6213 it first;7223 for ye are many;7227 and call7121 on the name8034 of your gods,430 but put7760 no fire784 under. cr 26 And they took3947 the bullock6499 which was given5414 them, and they dressed6213 it, and called7121 on the name8034 of Baal1168 from morning1242 even until noon,6672 saying,559 O Baal,1168 hear6030{Or, answer} us. But there was no369 voice,6963 nor any that answered.6030{Or, heard} And they leaped6452 upon the altar4196{Or, leaped up and down at the altar} which was made.6213 cr 27 And it came to pass at noon,6672 that Elijah452 mocked2048 them, and said,559 Cry7121 aloud:1419 6963{Heb. with a great voice} for he is a god;430 either he is talking,7879{Or, he meditateth} or he is pursuing,7873{Heb. hath a pursuit} or he is in a journey,1870 or peradventure194 he sleepeth,3463 and must be awaked.3364 cr 28 And they cried7121 aloud,6963 1419 and cut1413 themselves after their manner4941 with knives2719 and lancets,7420 till the blood1818 gushed out8210 upon them.{Heb. poured out blood upon them} cr 29 And it came to pass, when midday6672 was past,5674 and they prophesied5012 until the time of the offering5927{Heb. ascending} of the evening sacrifice,4503 that there was neither voice,6963 nor any to answer,6030 nor any that regarded.7182{Heb. attention} cr

1 Kings 18:30 And Elijah452 said559 unto all the people,5971 Come near5066 unto me. And all the people5971 came near5066 unto him. And he repaired7495 the altar4196 of the LORD3068 that was broken down.2040 cr 31 And Elijah452 took3947 twelve8147 6240 stones,68 according to the number4557 of the tribes7626 of the sons1121 of Jacob,3290 unto whom the word1697 of the LORD3068 came, saying,559 Israel3478 shall be thy name:8034 cr 32 And with the stones68 he built1129 an altar4196 in the name8034 of the LORD:3068 and he made6213 a trench8585 about5439 the altar,4196 as great as would contain1004 two measures5429 of seed.2233 cr 33 And he put6186 2794 the wood6086 in order,6186 and cut5408 the bullock6499 in pieces, and laid7760 him on the wood,6086 and said,559 Fill4390 four702 barrels3537 with water,4325 and pour3332 it on the burnt sacrifice,5930 and on the wood.6086 cr 34 And he said,559 Do it the second time.8138 And they did it the second time.8138 And he said,559 Do it the third time.8027 And they did it the third time.8027 cr 35 And the water4325 ran3212{Heb. went} round about5439 the altar;4196 and he filled4390 the trench8585 also with water.4325 cr 36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering5927 of the evening sacrifice,4503 that Elijah452 the prophet5030 came near,5066 and said,559 LORD3068 God430 of Abraham,85 Isaac,3327 and of Israel,3478 let it be known3045 this day3117 that thou art God430 in Israel,3478 and that I am thy servant,5650 and that I have done6213 all these things at thy word.1697 cr 37 Hear6030 me, O LORD,3068 hear6030 me, that this people5971 may know3045 that thou art the LORD3068 God,430 and that thou hast turned5437 2794 their heart3820 back5437 again.322 cr 38 Then the fire784 of the LORD3068 fell,5307 and consumed398 the burnt sacrifice,5930 and the wood,6086 and the stones,68 and the dust,6083 and licked up3897 the water4325 that was in the trench.8585 cr 39 And when all the people5971 saw7200 it, they fell5307 on their faces:6440 and they said,559 The LORD,3068 he is the God;430 the LORD,3068 he is the God.430 cr 40 And Elijah452 said559 unto them, Take8610{Or, apprehend} the prophets5030 of Baal;1168 let not one376 of them escape.4422 And they took8610 them: and Elijah452 brought them down3381 to the brook5158 Kishon,7028 and slew7819 them there. cr

1 Kings 18:41 And Elijah452 said559 unto Ahab,256 Get thee up,5927 eat398 and drink;8354 for there is a sound6963 of abundance1995 of rain.1653{Or, a sound of a noise of rain} cr 42 So Ahab256 went up5927 to eat398 and to drink.8354 And Elijah452 went up5927 to the top7218 of Carmel;3760 and he cast himself down1457 upon the earth,776 and put7760 his face6440 between his knees,1290 cr 43 And said559 to his servant,5288 Go up5927 now, look5027 toward1870 the sea.3220 And he went up,5927 and looked,5027 and said,559 There is nothing.3972 And he said,559 Go again7725 seven7651 times.6471 cr 44 And it came to pass at the seventh time,7637 that he said,559 Behold, there ariseth5927 a little6996 cloud5645 out of the sea,3220 like a man's376 hand.3709 And he said,559 Go up,5927 say559 unto Ahab,256 Prepare631{Heb. tie, or bind} thy chariot, and get thee down,3381 that the rain1653 stop6113 thee not. cr 45 And it came to pass in the mean while,3541 that the heaven8064 was black6937 with clouds5645 and wind,7307 and there was a great1419 rain.1653 And Ahab256 rode,7392 and went3212 to Jezreel.3157 cr 46 And the hand3027 of the LORD3068 was on Elijah;452 and he girded up8151 his loins,4975 and ran7323 before6440 Ahab256 to the entrance935 of Jezreel.3157{Heb. till thou come to Jezreel} cr
