1 Kings 18:41-46

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 2bent 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, 3a 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 4Jezreel.

46Then 5the hand of the Lord was on Elijah, and 6he 7belted his cloak around his waist and 8outran Ahab 9to Jezreel.
