1 Kings 18:40-44

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 1the brookH5158 KishonH7028, 2and 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 3CarmelH3760; and he 4crouchedH1457 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, 5a cloudH5645 as smallH6996 as a man’sH376 handH3709 is comingH5927 up from the seaH3220.” And he saidH559, “GoH5927 up, sayH559 to AhabH256, ‘6PrepareH631 your chariot and goH3381 downH3381, so that the heavy showerH1653 does not stopH6113 you.’”
