1 Kings 18:36-46

361At the timeH3117 of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 cameH5066 nearH5066 and saidH559, “2O LordH3068, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327 and IsraelH3478, todayH3117 let it be knownH3045 that 3You are GodH430 in IsraelH3478 and that I am Your servantH5650 and 4I have doneH6213 allH3605 theseH428 thingsH1697 at Your wordH1697. 37AnswerH6030 me, O LordH3068, answerH6030 me, that thisH2088 peopleH5971 may knowH3045 that You, O LordH3068, are GodH430, and that You have turnedH5437 their heartH3820 backH322 againH322.” 38Then the 5fireH784 of the LordH3068 fellH5307 and consumedH398 the burntH5930 offeringH5930 and the woodH6086 and the stonesH68 and the dustH6083, and lickedH3897 up the waterH4325 that was in the trenchH8585. 39When allH3605 the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they fellH5307 on their facesH6440; and they saidH559, “6The LordH3068, He is GodH430; the LordH3068, He is GodH430.” 40Then ElijahH452 saidH559 to them, “SeizeH8610 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168; do not let oneH376 of them escapeH4422.” So they seizedH8610 them; and ElijahH452 broughtH3381 them downH3381 to 7the brookH5158 KishonH7028, 8and slewH7819 them thereH8033.

41Now ElijahH452 saidH559 to AhabH256, “GoH5927 up, eatH398 and drinkH8354; for there is the soundH6963 of the roarH1995 of a heavy showerH1653.” 42So AhabH256 wentH5927 up to eatH398 and drinkH8354. But ElijahH452 wentH5927 up to the topH7218 of 9CarmelH3760; and he 10crouchedH1457 downH1457 on the earthH776 and putH7760 his faceH6440 betweenH996 his kneesH1290. 43He saidH559 to his servantH5288, “GoH5927 up nowH4994, lookH5027 towardH1870 the seaH3220.” So he wentH5927 up and lookedH5027 and saidH559, “ThereH369 is nothingH369H3972.” And he saidH559, “GoH7725 backH7725” sevenH7651 timesH6471. 44It cameH1961 about at the seventhH7637 time, that he saidH559, “BeholdH2009, 11a cloudH5645 as smallH6996 as a man’sH376 handH3709 is comingH5927 up from the seaH3220.” And he saidH559, “GoH5927 up, sayH559 to AhabH256, ‘12PrepareH631 your chariot and goH3381 downH3381, so that the heavy showerH1653 does not stopH6113 you.’” 45In a littleH5704H3541 whileH5704H3541 the skyH8064 grewH6937 blackH6937 with cloudsH5645 and windH7307, and there was a heavyH1419 showerH1653. And AhabH256 rodeH7392 and wentH1980 to 13JezreelH3157. 46Then 14the handH3027 of the LordH3068 was on ElijahH452, and 15he girdedH8151 up his loinsH4975 and 16outranH7323H6440 AhabH256 17to JezreelH3157.
