1 Kings 18:36-46

36Then 1at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet approached and said, “2Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, today let it be known that 3You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant, and that 4I have done all these things at Your word. 37Answer me, Lord, answer me, so that this people may know that You, Lord, are God, and that You have turned their heart back.” 38Then the 5fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood, and the stones and the dust; and it licked up the water that was in the trench. 39When all the people saw this, they fell on their faces; and they said, “6The Lord, He is God; the Lord, He is God!” 40Then Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal; do not let one of them escape.” So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to 7the brook Kishon, 8and slaughtered them there.

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 9Carmel; and he 10bent down to the earth and put his face between his knees. 43And he said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked, but he said, “There is nothing.” Yet Elijah said, “Go back” seven times. 44And when he returned the seventh time, he said, “Behold, 11a cloud as small as a person’s hand is coming up from the sea.” And Elijah said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Harness your chariot horses and go down, so that the heavy shower does not stop you.’” 45Meanwhile the sky became dark with clouds and wind came up, and there was a heavy shower. And Ahab rode and went to 12Jezreel. 46Then 13the hand of the Lord was on Elijah, and 14he 15belted his cloak around his waist and 16outran Ahab 17to Jezreel.
