1 Kings 18:41-45

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.
