1 Kings 18:1-19

1Now it happenedH1961 1after manyH7227 daysH3117 that the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to ElijahH452 in the thirdH7992 yearH8141, sayingH559, “GoH1980, showH7200 yourself to AhabH256, and 2I will sendH5414 rainH4306 on the faceH6440 of the earthH127.” 2So ElijahH452 wentH1980 to showH7200 himself to AhabH256. Now the famineH7458 was severeH2389 in SamariaH8111. 3AhabH256 calledH7121 ObadiahH5662 3whoH834 was overH5921 the householdH1004. (Now ObadiahH5662 45fearedH3372 the LordH3068 greatlyH3966; 4for 6when JezebelH348 7destroyedH3772 the prophetsH5030 of the LordH3068, ObadiahH5662 tookH3947 a hundredH3967 prophetsH5030 and hidH2244 them by fiftiesH2572 in a caveH4631, and 8providedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325.) 5Then AhabH256 saidH559 to ObadiahH5662, “GoH1980 through the landH776 to allH3605 the springsH4599 of waterH4325 and to allH3605 the valleysH5158; perhapsH194 we will findH4672 grassH2682 and keepH2421 the horsesH5483 and mulesH6505 aliveH2421, and not 9have to killH3772 someH4480 of the cattleH929.” 6So they dividedH2505 the landH776 between them to 10surveyH5674 it; AhabH256 wentH1980 oneH259 wayH1870 by himselfH905 and ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 anotherH259 wayH1870 by himselfH905.

7Now as ObadiahH5662 was on the wayH1870, beholdH2009, ElijahH452 11metH7122 him, 12and he recognizedH5234 him and fellH5307 on his faceH6440 and saidH559, “Is thisH2088 you, ElijahH452 my masterH113?” 8He saidH559 to him, “It is I. GoH1980, sayH559 to your masterH113, ‘BeholdH2009, ElijahH452 is here.’” 9He saidH559, “WhatH4100 13sinH2398 have I committedH2398, that you are givingH5414 your servantH5650 into the handH3027 of AhabH256 to putH4191 me to deathH4191? 1014As the LordH3068 your GodH430 livesH2416, thereH3426 is noH518 nationH1471 or kingdomH4467 whereH834H8033 my masterH113 has not sentH7971 to searchH1245 for you; and when they saidH559, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdomH4467 or nationH1471 swearH7650 that they could not findH4672 you. 11And nowH6258 you are sayingH559, ‘GoH1980, sayH559 to your masterH113, “BeholdH2009, ElijahH452 is here.”’ 12It will comeH1961 about when I leaveH1980H4480 you 15that the SpiritH7307 of the LordH3068 will carryH5375 you whereH5921H834 I do not knowH3045; so when I comeH935 and tellH5046 AhabH256 and he cannotH3808 findH4672 you, he will killH2026 me, although I your servantH5650 have 16fearedH3372 the LordH3068 from my youthH5271. 1317Has it not been toldH5046 to my masterH113 whatH834 I didH6213 when JezebelH348 killedH2026 the prophetsH5030 of the LordH3068, that I hidH2244 18a hundredH3967 prophetsH5030 of the LordH3068 by fiftiesH2572 in a caveH4631, and providedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325? 14And nowH6258 you are sayingH559, ‘GoH1980, sayH559 to your masterH113, “BeholdH2009, ElijahH452 is here”’; he will then killH2026 me.” 15ElijahH452 saidH559, “19As the LordH3068 of hostsH6635 livesH2416, beforeH6440 whomH834 I standH5975, I will surelyH3588 showH7200 myself to him todayH3117.” 16So ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 to meetH7122 AhabH256 and toldH5046 him; and AhabH256 wentH1980 to meetH7122 ElijahH452.

17When AhabH256 sawH7200 ElijahH452, 20AhabH256 saidH559 to him, “Is thisH2088 you, you troublerH5916 of IsraelH3478?” 18He saidH559, “I have not troubledH5916 IsraelH3478, but you and your father’sH1 houseH1004 have, because 21you have forsakenH5800 the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 and 22you have followedH1980H310 the BaalsH1168. 19NowH6258 then sendH7971 and gatherH6908 to me allH3605 IsraelH3478 at 23MountH2022 CarmelH3760, 24together with 450H702H3967H2572 prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168 and 400H702H3967 prophetsH5030 of 25the AsherahH842, who eatH398 at Jezebel’sH348 tableH7979.”
