1 Kings 18:36-46

36And it came to pass at the time of the offeringH4503 of the evening oblation, that ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 came near, and saidH559, O Jehovah, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, of IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, let it beH1961 knownH3045 this dayH3117 that thou art GodH430 in IsraelH3478, and that I am thy servantH5650, and that I have done all these thingsH1697 at thy wordH1697. 37Hear me, O Jehovah, hear me, that this peopleH5971 may knowH3045 that thou, Jehovah, art GodH430, and that thou hast turnedH5437 their heartH3820 back again. 38Then the fireH784 of Jehovah fellH5307, and consumedH398 the burnt-offering, and the woodH6086, and the stonesH68, and the dustH6083, and lickedH3897 up the waterH4325 that was in the trench. 39And when all the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they fellH5307 on their facesH6440: and they saidH559, Jehovah, he is GodH430; Jehovah, he is GodH430. 40And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto them, Take the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168; let not oneH376 of them escapeH4422. And they took them; and ElijahH452 broughtH3381 them downH3381 to the brook KishonH7028, and slew them there.

41And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto AhabH256, Get thee up, eatH398 and drinkH8354; for there is the soundH6963 of abundanceH1995 of rainH1653. 42So AhabH256 wentH5927 up to eatH398 and to drinkH8354. And ElijahH452 wentH5927 up to the topH7218 of CarmelH3760; and he bowed himself down upon the earthH776, and putH7760 his faceH6440 between his knees. 43And he saidH559 to his servantH5288, GoH5927 up now, lookH5027 toward the seaH3220. And he wentH5927 up, and lookedH5027, and saidH559, There is nothingH369. And he saidH559, GoH5927 again sevenH7651 timesH6471. 44And it came to pass at the seventhH7637 time, that he saidH559, Behold, there ariseth a cloudH5645 out of the seaH3220, as smallH6996 as a man’sH376 handH3709. And he saidH559, GoH5927 up, sayH559 unto AhabH256, Make ready thy chariot, and get thee downH3381, that the rainH1653 stop thee not. 45And it came to pass in a little while, that the heavensH8064 grew black with cloudsH5645 and windH7307, and there wasH1961 a greatH1419 rainH1653. And AhabH256 rodeH7392, and went to JezreelH3157: 46and the handH3027 of Jehovah wasH1961 on ElijahH452; and he girded up his loinsH4975, and ranH7323 before AhabH256 to the entrance of JezreelH3157.
