And it came to pass after many⁷²²⁷ days,³¹¹⁷ that the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ came to Elijah⁴⁵² in the third⁷⁹⁹² year,⁸¹⁴¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Go,³²¹² shew⁷²⁰⁰ thyself unto Ahab;²⁵⁶ and I will send⁵⁴¹⁴ rain⁴³⁰⁶ upon⁶⁴⁴⁰ the earth.¹²⁷

And Elijah⁴⁵² went³²¹² to shew⁷²⁰⁰ himself unto Ahab.²⁵⁶ And there was a sore²³⁸⁹ famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ in Samaria.⁸¹¹¹

And Ahab²⁵⁶ called⁷¹²¹ Obadiah,⁵⁶⁶² which was the governor of his house.¹⁰⁰⁴ (Now Obadiah⁵⁶⁶² feared³³⁷³ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ greatly:³⁹⁶⁶

For it was so, when Jezebel³⁴⁸ cut off³⁷⁷² the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ that Obadiah⁵⁶⁶² took³⁹⁴⁷ an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ and hid²²⁴⁴ them by fifty³⁷⁶ in a cave,⁴⁶³¹ and fed³⁵⁵⁷ them with bread³⁸⁹⁹ and water.)⁴³²⁵

And Ahab²⁵⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto Obadiah,⁵⁶⁶² Go³²¹² into the land,⁷⁷⁶ unto all fountains⁴⁵⁹⁹ of water,⁴³²⁵ and unto all brooks:⁵¹⁵⁸ peradventure¹⁹⁴ we may find⁴⁶⁷² grass²⁶⁸² to save the horses⁵⁴⁸³ and mules⁶⁵⁰⁵ alive,²⁴²¹ that we lose³⁷⁷² not all the beasts.⁹²⁹

So they divided²⁵⁰⁵ the land⁷⁷⁶ between them to pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ throughout it: Ahab²⁵⁶ went¹⁹⁸⁰ one²⁵⁹ way¹⁸⁷⁰ by himself, and Obadiah⁵⁶⁶² went¹⁹⁸⁰ another²⁵⁹ way¹⁸⁷⁰ by himself.

And as Obadiah⁵⁶⁶² was in the way,¹⁸⁷⁰ behold, Elijah⁴⁵² met⁷¹²⁵ him: and he knew⁵²³⁴ him, and fell⁵³⁰⁷ on his face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Art thou that my sovereign¹¹³ Elijah?⁴⁵²

And he answered⁵⁵⁹ him, I am: go,³²¹² tell⁵⁵⁹ thy sovereign,¹¹³ Behold, Elijah⁴⁵² is here.

And he said,⁵⁵⁹ What have I sinned,²³⁹⁸ that thou wouldest deliver⁵⁴¹⁴ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Ahab,²⁵⁶ to slay⁴¹⁹¹ me?

As Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ thy Elohim⁴³⁰ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ there is³⁴²⁶ no nation¹⁴⁷¹ or kingdom,⁴⁴⁶⁷ whither⁸³⁴ my sovereign¹¹³ hath not sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to seek¹²⁴⁵ thee: and when they said,⁵⁵⁹ He is not there; he took an oath⁷⁶⁵⁰ of the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ and nation,¹⁴⁷¹ that they found⁴⁶⁷² thee not.

And now thou sayest,⁵⁵⁹ Go,³²¹² tell⁵⁵⁹ thy sovereign,¹¹³ Behold, Elijah⁴⁵² is here.

And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone³²¹² from thee, that the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ shall carry⁵³⁷⁵ thee whither I know³⁰⁴⁵ not; and so when I come⁹³⁵ and tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ Ahab,²⁵⁶ and he cannot find⁴⁶⁷² thee, he shall slay²⁰²⁶ me: but I thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ fear³³⁷² Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ from my youth.⁵²⁷¹

Was it not told⁵⁰⁴⁶ my sovereign¹¹³ what I did⁶²¹³ when Jezebel³⁴⁸ slew²⁰²⁶ the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ how I hid²²⁴⁴ an hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men³⁷⁶ of Yahweh's³⁰⁶⁸ prophets⁵⁰³⁰ by fifty²⁵⁷² in a cave,⁴⁶³¹ and fed³⁵⁵⁷ them with bread³⁸⁹⁹ and water?⁴³²⁵

And now thou sayest,⁵⁵⁹ Go,³²¹² tell⁵⁵⁹ thy sovereign,¹¹³ Behold, Elijah⁴⁵² is here: and he shall slay²⁰²⁶ me.

And Elijah⁴⁵² said,⁵⁵⁹ As Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ whom I stand,⁵⁹⁷⁵ I will surely shew⁷²⁰⁰ myself unto him to day.³¹¹⁷

So Obadiah⁵⁶⁶² went³²¹² to meet⁷¹²⁵ Ahab,²⁵⁶ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him: and Ahab²⁵⁶ went³²¹² to meet⁷¹²⁵ Elijah.⁴⁵²

And it came to pass, when Ahab²⁵⁶ saw⁷²⁰⁰ Elijah,⁴⁵² that Ahab²⁵⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto him, Art thou he that troubleth⁵⁹¹⁶ Israel?³⁴⁷⁸

And he answered,⁵⁵⁹ I have not troubled⁵⁹¹⁶ Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ but thou, and thy father's¹ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ in that ye have forsaken⁵⁸⁰⁰ the commandments⁴⁶⁸⁷ of Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ and thou hast followed³²¹² Baalim.¹¹⁶⁸

Now therefore send,⁷⁹⁷¹ and gather⁶⁹⁰⁸ to me all Israel³⁴⁷⁸ unto mount²⁰²² Carmel,³⁷⁶⁰ and the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of Baal¹¹⁶⁸ four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty,²⁵⁷² and the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of the groves⁸⁴² four⁷⁰² hundred,³⁹⁶⁷ which eat³⁹⁸ at Jezebel's³⁴⁸ table.⁷⁹⁷⁹

So Ahab²⁵⁶ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto all the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and gathered the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ together⁶⁹⁰⁸ unto mount²⁰²² Carmel.³⁷⁶⁰

And Elijah⁴⁵² came⁵⁰⁶⁶ unto all the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ How long halt⁶⁴⁵² ye between⁵⁹²¹ two⁸¹⁴⁷ opinions?⁵⁵⁸⁷ if Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ be Elohim,⁴³⁰ follow³²¹² him: but if Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ then follow³²¹² him. And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ answered⁶⁰³⁰ him not a word.¹⁶⁹⁷

James 1:8; Ephesians 4:14; Jeremiah 23:17; Hosea 2:16; Psalms 119:113

Then said⁵⁵⁹ Elijah⁴⁵² unto the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ I, even I only, remain³⁴⁹⁸ a prophet⁵⁰³⁰ of Yahweh;³⁰⁶⁸ but Baal's¹¹⁶⁸ prophets⁵⁰³⁰ are four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² men.³⁷⁶

Let them therefore give⁵⁴¹⁴ us two⁸¹⁴⁷ bullocks;⁶⁴⁹⁹ and let them choose⁹⁷⁷ one²⁵⁹ bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ for themselves, and cut it in pieces,⁵⁴⁰⁸ and lay⁷⁷⁶⁰ it on wood,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ no fire⁷⁸⁴ under: and I will dress⁶²¹³ the other²⁵⁹ bullock,⁶⁴⁹⁹ and lay⁵⁴¹⁴ it on wood,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ no fire⁷⁸⁴ under:

And call⁷¹²¹ ye on the name⁸⁰³⁴ of your mighty ones,⁴³⁰ and I will call⁷¹²¹ on the name⁸⁰³⁴ of Yahweh:³⁰⁶⁸ and the Elohim⁴³⁰ that answereth⁶⁰³⁰ by fire,⁷⁸⁴ let him be Elohim.⁴³⁰ And all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ It is well²⁸⁹⁶ spoken.¹⁶⁹⁷

And Elijah⁴⁵² said⁵⁵⁹ unto the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ Choose⁹⁷⁷ you one²⁵⁹ bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ for yourselves, and dress⁶²¹³ it first;⁷²²³ for ye are many;⁷²²⁷ and call⁷¹²¹ on the name⁸⁰³⁴ of your mighty ones,⁴³⁰ but put⁷⁷⁶⁰ no fire⁷⁸⁴ under.

And they took³⁹⁴⁷ the bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ which was given⁵⁴¹⁴ them, and they dressed⁶²¹³ it, and called⁷¹²¹ on the name⁸⁰³⁴ of Baal¹¹⁶⁸ from morning¹²⁴² even until noon,⁶⁶⁷² saying,⁵⁵⁹ O Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ hear⁶⁰³⁰ us. But there was no³⁶⁹ voice,⁶⁹⁶³ nor any³⁶⁹ that answered.⁶⁰³⁰ And they leaped⁶⁴⁵² upon the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ which was made.⁶²¹³

And it came to pass at noon,⁶⁶⁷² that Elijah⁴⁵² mocked²⁰⁴⁸ them, and said,⁵⁵⁹ Cry⁷¹²¹ aloud:¹⁴¹⁹ for he is a mighty one;⁴³⁰ either he is talking,⁷⁸⁷⁹ or he is pursuing,⁷⁸⁷³ or he is in a journey,¹⁸⁷⁰ or peradventure¹⁹⁴ he sleepeth,³⁴⁶³ and must be awaked.³³⁶⁴

And they cried⁷¹²¹ aloud,⁶⁹⁶³ and cut¹⁴¹³ themselves after their manner⁴⁹⁴¹ with knives²⁷¹⁹ and lancets,⁷⁴²⁰ till the blood¹⁸¹⁸ gushed out⁸²¹⁰ upon them.

And it came to pass, when midday⁶⁶⁷² was past,⁵⁶⁷⁴ and they prophesied⁵⁰¹² until the time of the offering⁵⁹²⁷ of the evening sacrifice,⁴⁵⁰³ that there was neither voice,⁶⁹⁶³ nor any to answer,⁶⁰³⁰ nor any that regarded.⁷¹⁸²

And Elijah⁴⁵² said⁵⁵⁹ unto all the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ Come near⁵⁰⁶⁶ unto me. And all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ came near⁵⁰⁶⁶ unto him. And he repaired⁷⁴⁹⁵ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ that was broken down.²⁰⁴⁰

Isaiah 58:12; Isaiah 61:4; Jeremiah 6:16

And Elijah⁴⁵² took³⁹⁴⁷ twelve⁸¹⁴⁷ stones,⁶⁸ according to the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Jacob,³²⁹⁰ unto whom the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ came, saying,⁵⁵⁹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ shall be thy name:⁸⁰³⁴

1 Peter 2:5

And with the stones⁶⁸ he built¹¹²⁹ an altar⁴¹⁹⁶ in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of Yahweh:³⁰⁶⁸ and he made⁶²¹³ a trench⁸⁵⁸⁵ about⁵⁴³⁹ the altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ as great as would contain¹⁰⁰⁴ two measures⁵⁴²⁹ of seed.²²³³

And he put the wood⁶⁰⁸⁶ in order,⁶¹⁸⁶ and cut the bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ in pieces,⁵⁴⁰⁸ and laid⁷⁷⁶⁰ him on the wood,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Fill⁴³⁹⁰ four⁷⁰² barrels³⁵³⁷ with water,⁴³²⁵ and pour³³³² it on the burnt sacrifice,⁵⁹³⁰ and on the wood.⁶⁰⁸⁶

And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Do it the second time.⁸¹³⁸ And they did it the second time.⁸¹³⁸ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Do it the third time.⁸⁰²⁷ And they did it the third time.⁸⁰²⁷

And the water⁴³²⁵ ran³²¹² round about⁵⁴³⁹ the altar;⁴¹⁹⁶ and he filled⁴³⁹⁰ the trench⁸⁵⁸⁵ also with water.⁴³²⁵

And it came to pass at the time of the offering⁵⁹²⁷ of the evening sacrifice,⁴⁵⁰³ that Elijah⁴⁵² the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ came near,⁵⁰⁶⁶ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim⁴³⁰ of Abraham,⁸⁵ Isaac,³³²⁷ and of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ let it be known³⁰⁴⁵ this day³¹¹⁷ that thou art Elohim⁴³⁰ in Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and that I am thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and that I have done⁶²¹³ all these things¹⁶⁹⁷ at thy word.¹⁶⁹⁷

Hear⁶⁰³⁰ me, O Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ hear⁶⁰³⁰ me, that this people⁵⁹⁷¹ may know³⁰⁴⁵ that thou art Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ Elohim,⁴³⁰ and that thou hast turned⁵⁴³⁷ their heart³⁸²⁰ back again.³²²

Then the fire⁷⁸⁴ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ fell,⁵³⁰⁷ and consumed³⁹⁸ the burnt sacrifice,⁵⁹³⁰ and the wood,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and the stones,⁶⁸ and the dust,⁶⁰⁸³ and licked up³⁸⁹⁷ the water⁴³²⁵ that was in the trench.⁸⁵⁸⁵

Job 1:16

And when all the people⁵⁹⁷¹ saw⁷²⁰⁰ it, they fell⁵³⁰⁷ on their faces:⁶⁴⁴⁰ and they said,⁵⁵⁹ Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ he is the Elohim;⁴³⁰ Yahweh,³⁰⁶⁸ he is the Elohim.⁴³⁰

And Elijah⁴⁵² said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Take⁸⁶¹⁰ the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of Baal;¹¹⁶⁸ let not one³⁷⁶ of them escape.⁴⁴²² And they took⁸⁶¹⁰ them: and Elijah⁴⁵² brought them down³³⁸¹ to the brook⁵¹⁵⁸ Kishon,⁷⁰²⁸ and slew⁷⁸¹⁹ them there.

And Elijah⁴⁵² said⁵⁵⁹ unto Ahab,²⁵⁶ Get thee up,⁵⁹²⁷ eat³⁹⁸ and drink;⁸³⁵⁴ for there is a sound⁶⁹⁶³ of abundance¹⁹⁹⁵ of rain.¹⁶⁵³

So Ahab²⁵⁶ went up⁵⁹²⁷ to eat³⁹⁸ and to drink.⁸³⁵⁴ And Elijah⁴⁵² went up⁵⁹²⁷ to the top⁷²¹⁸ of Carmel;³⁷⁶⁰ and he cast himself down¹⁴⁵⁷ upon the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ between his knees,¹²⁹⁰

And said⁵⁵⁹ to his servant,⁵²⁸⁸ Go up⁵⁹²⁷ now, look⁵⁰²⁷ toward¹⁸⁷⁰ the sea.³²²⁰ And he went up,⁵⁹²⁷ and looked,⁵⁰²⁷ and said,⁵⁵⁹ There is nothing.³⁶⁹ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Go again⁷⁷²⁵ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ times.⁶⁴⁷¹

And it came to pass at the seventh time,⁷⁶³⁷ that he said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold, there ariseth⁵⁹²⁷ a little⁶⁹⁹⁶ cloud⁵⁶⁴⁵ out of the sea,³²²⁰ like a man's³⁷⁶ hand.³⁷⁰⁹ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Go up,⁵⁹²⁷ say⁵⁵⁹ unto Ahab,²⁵⁶ Prepare⁶³¹ thy chariot, and get thee down,³³⁸¹ that the rain¹⁶⁵³ stop⁶¹¹³ thee not.

And it came to pass in the mean while,³⁵⁴¹ that the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ was black⁶⁹³⁷ with clouds⁵⁶⁴⁵ and wind,⁷³⁰⁷ and there was a great¹⁴¹⁹ rain.¹⁶⁵³ And Ahab²⁵⁶ rode,⁷³⁹² and went³²¹² to Jezreel.³¹⁵⁷

And the hand³⁰²⁷ of Yahweh³⁰⁶⁸ was on Elijah;⁴⁵² and he girded up⁸¹⁵¹ his loins,⁴⁹⁷⁵ and ran⁷³²³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Ahab²⁵⁶ to the entrance⁹³⁵ of Jezreel.³¹⁵⁷
