1 Kings 18:36-46

36

At the time ofH5927 the evening sacrificeH4503, ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 approachedH5066 the altar and saidH559, “O LORDH3068, GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and IsraelH3478, let it be knownH3045 this dayH3117 thatH3588 YouH859 are GodH430 in IsraelH3478 and that IH589 am Your servantH5650 and have doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH1697 at Your commandH1697. 37Answer meH6030, O LORDH3068! Answer meH6030, so that thisH2088 peopleH5971 will knowH3045 thatH3588 YouH859, the LORDH3068, are GodH430, and that YouH859 have turnedH5437 their heartsH3820 back againH322.”

38Then the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 fellH5307 and consumedH398 the sacrificeH5930, the woodH6086, the stonesH68, and the dustH6083, and it licked upH3897 the waterH4325 in the trenchH8585.

39When allH3605 the peopleH5971 saw thisH7200, they fellH5307 facedownH5921H6440 and saidH559, “The LORDH3068, HeH1931 is GodH430! The LORDH3068, HeH1931 is GodH430!”

40Then ElijahH452 orderedH559 them, “SeizeH8610 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168! Do notH408 let a single oneH376 escapeH4422.” So they seized themH8610, and ElijahH452 brought them downH3381 toH413 the KishonH7028 ValleyH5158 and slaughtered themH7819 thereH8033.

41And ElijahH452 saidH559 to AhabH256, “Go upH5927, eatH398 and drinkH8354, forH3588 there is the soundH6963 of a heavyH1995 rainH1653.”

42So AhabH256 went upH5927 to eatH398 and drinkH8354. But ElijahH452 climbedH5927 toH413 the summitH7218 of CarmelH3760, bent downH1457 on the groundH776, and putH7760 his faceH6440 betweenH996 his kneesH1290. 43“GoH5927H4994 and lookH5027 towardH1870 the seaH3220,” he saidH559 toH413 his servantH5288.

So the servant wentH5927 and lookedH5027, and he saidH559, “There is nothing thereH369H3972.”

SevenH7651 timesH6471 Elijah saidH559, “Go backH7725.”

44

On the seventh timeH7637 the servant reportedH559, “There isH2009 a cloudH5645 as smallH6996 as a man’sH376 handH3709 risingH5927 from the seaH3220.”

And Elijah repliedH559, “GoH5927 and tellH559H413 AhabH256, ‘PrepareH631 your chariot and go downH3381 before the rainH1653H3808 stops youH6113.’”

45MeanwhileH1961H5704H3541, the skyH8064 grew darkH6937 with cloudsH5645 and windH7307, and a heavyH1419 rainH1653 began to fallH1961. So AhabH256 rode awayH7392 and wentH1980 to JezreelH3157.

46And the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 uponH413 ElijahH452, and he tucked his cloakH8151 into his beltH49751 and ranH7323 ahead ofH6440 AhabH256 all the way toH5704H935 JezreelH3157.
