1 Kings 18:41-45

41Now Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower.”

42So Ahab went up to eat and drink. But Elijah went up to the top of 1Carmel; and he 2crouched down on the earth and put his face between his knees.

43He said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said, “There is nothing.” And he said, “Go back” seven times.

44It came about at the seventh time, that he said, “Behold, 3a cloud as small as a man’s hand is coming up from the sea.” And he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘4Prepare your chariot and go down, so that the heavy shower does not stop you.’”

45In a little while the sky grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy shower. And Ahab rode and went to 5Jezreel.
