1: And it came to passH1961 [after] days,H3117 manyH7227 that the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 cameH1961 toH0413 ElijahH0452 in the year,H8141 thirdH7992 saying,H0559 go,H1980 present yourselfH7200 toH0413 Ahab-H0256 and I will sendH5414 rainH4306 onH5921 onH6440 the earth.H0127
2: So wentH1980 ElijahH0452 to present himselfH7200 toH0413 Ahab.H0256 And [there was] a famineH7458 mightyH2389 in Samaria.H8111
3: And had calledH7121 AhabH0256 toH0413 Obadiah,H5662 who [was]H0834 in chargeH5921 of [his] house.H1004 Now ObadiahH5662 fearedH1961 fearedH3373 -H0853 YahwehH3068 greatly-H3966
4: for so it wasH1961 while massacredH3772 JezebelH0348 -H0853 the prophetsH5030 of Yahweh,H3068 that had takenH3947 ObadiahH5662 a hundredH3967 prophets,H5030 and hidden themH2244 fiftyH2572 menH0376 to a cave,H4631 and had fed themH3557 with breadH3899 and water.H4325
5: And had saidH0559 AhabH0256 toH0413 Obadiah,H5662 goH1980 into the land,H0776 toH0413 allH3605 the springsH4599 of water,H4325 and toH0413 allH3605 the brooks-H5158 perhapsH0194 we may findH4672 grassH2682 and to keep alive,H2421 the horsesH5483 and mulesH6505 so that notH3808 we will have to killH3772 any livestock.H0929
6: So they dividedH2505 between themH1992 -H0853 the landH0776 to exploreH5674 AhabH0256 wentH1980 wayH1870 oneH0259 by himself,H0905 and ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 wayH1870 oneH0259 by himself.H0905
7: And as wasH1961 ObadiahH5662 on [his] way,H1870 and suddenly,H2009 ElijahH0452 met himH7125 and he recognized himH5234 and fellH5307 onH5921 his face,H6440 and said,H0559 [Is] youH0859 thisH2088 my lordH0113 Elijah?H0452
8: and he answeredH0559 [it is] IH0589 go,H1980 tellH0559 your master,H0113 behold,H2009 Elijah [is here].H0452
9: So he said,H0559 howH4100 have I sinned,H2398 thatH3588 youH0859 are deliveringH5414 -H0853 your servantH5650 into the handH3027 of Ahab,H0256 to kill me.H4191
10: [As] lives,H2416 YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 noH0518 there isH3426 nationH1471 or kingdom,H4467 whereH0834 notH3808 has sent [someone]H7971 my masterH0113 thereH8033 to hunt for youH1245 and when they said,H0559 [He is] not [here]H0369 and he took an oathH7650 fromH0853 the kingdomH4467 orH0853 nation,H1471 thatH3588 notH3808 they could find you.H4672
11: NowH6258 youH0859 say,H0559 go,H1980 tellH0559 your master,H0113 behold,H2009 Elijah [is here].H0452
12: And it shall come to pass,H1961 [as soon as] IH0589 am goneH1980 from youH0853 that the SpiritH7307 of YahwehH3068 will carry youH5375 thereH5921 to a placeH0834 not-H3808 I do knowH3045 so when I goH0935 [and] tellH5046 Ahab,H0256 and cannotH3808 he find youH4672 and he will kill meH2026 but I your servantH5650 have fearedH3372 -H0853 YahwehH3068 from my youth.H5271
13: Was notH3808 it reportedH5046 to my lordH0113 -H0853 whatH0834 I didH6213 when killedH2026 JezebelH0348 -H0853 the prophetsH5030 of Yahweh,H3068 and how I hidH2244 of the prophetsH5030 of YahwehH3068 a hundredH3967 menH0376 fiftyH2572 [by] fiftyH2572 -H0376 to a cave,H4631 and fed themH3557 with breadH3899 and water?H4325
14: nowH6258 youH0859 say,H0559 go,H1980 tellH0559 your master,H0113 behold,H2009 Elijah [is here]H0452 and He will kill me.H2026
15: And said,H0559 ElijahH0452 [As] lives,H2416 YahwehH3068 of hostsH6635 whomH0834 I stand,H5975 beforeH6440 I will surelyH3588 todayH3117 present myselfH7200 to him.H0413
16: So wentH1980 ObadiahH5662 to meetH7125 Ahab,H0256 and toldH5046 and wentH1980 AhabH0256 to meetH7125 Elijah.H0452
17: And it came to pass,H1961 when sawH7200 AhabH0256 -H0853 Elijah,H0452 that saidH0559 AhabH0256 to himH0413 [Is] youH0859 thisH2088 troublerH5916 of Israel?H3478
18: and he answered,H0559 notH3808 I have troubledH5916 -H0853 Israel-H3478 forH3588 butH0518 you,H0859 and house [have],H1004 of your fatherH0001 in that you have forsakenH5800 -H0853 the commandmentsH4687 of Yahweh,H3068 and have followedH1980 -H0310 the Baals.H1168
19: Now thereforeH6258 send,H7971 [and] gatherH6908 to meH0413 -H0853 allH3605 IsraelH3478 onH0413 MountH2022 Carmel,H3760 andH0853 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168 fourH0702 hundredH3967 and fifty,H2572 and the prophetsH5030 of AsherahH0842 fourH0702 hundred,H3967 who eat atH0398 tableH7979 of Jezebel.H0348
20: So sentH7971 AhabH0256 for allH3605 the sonsH1121 of Israel,H3478 and gathered togetherH6908 -H0853 the prophetsH5030 onH0413 MountH2022 Carmel.H3760
21: And cameH5066 ElijahH0452 toH0413 allH3605 the people,H5971 and said,H0559 untilH5704 whenH4970 youH0859 will falterH6452 betweenH5921 twoH8147 opinions?H5587 ifH0518 Yahweh [is]H3068 God,H0430 followH1980 himH0310 but ifH0518 Baal,H1168 followH1980 himH0310 but notH3808 answeredH6030 the peopleH5971 HimH0853 a word.H1697
22: And saidH0559 ElijahH0452 toH0413 the people,H5971 I,H0589 am leftH3498 a prophetH5030 of Yahweh-H3068 alone,H0905 but prophets [are]H5030 of BaalH1168 fourH0702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 men.H0376
23: Therefore let them giveH5414 twoH8147 bulls-H6499 and let them chooseH0977 for themselvesH1992 bullH6499 oneH0259 cut it in pieces,H5408 and lay [it]H7760 onH5921 the wood,H6086 but fireH0784 noH3808 put [under it]H7760 and IH0589 will prepareH6213 -H0853 bull,H6499 oneH0259 and lay [it]H5414 onH5921 the wood,H6086 but fireH0784 noH3808 put [under it].H7760
24: And you callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your gods,H0430 and IH0589 will callH7121 on the nameH8034 of Yahweh,H3068 andH1961 the GodH0430 whoH0834 answersH6030 by fire,H0784 He [is]H1931 God.H0430 So answeredH6030 allH3605 the peopleH5971 and said,H0559 it is wellH2896 spoken.H1697
25: And saidH0559 ElijahH0452 to the prophetsH5030 of Baal,H1168 ChooseH0977 bullH6499 oneH0259 and prepare [it]H6213 first-H7223 forH3588 you [are]H0859 many-H7227 and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your god,H0430 but fireH0784 noH3808 put [under it].H7760
26: So they tookH3947 -H0853 the bullH6499 whichH0834 was givenH5414 and they prepared [it]H6213 and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of BaalH1168 from morningH1242 and even tillH5704 noon,H6672 saying,H0559 Baal,H1168 hear usH6030 but [there was] noH0369 voice,H6963 and no oneH0369 answered.H6030 And they leapedH6452 aboutH5921 the altarH4196 whichH0834 they had made.H6213
27: And so it wasH1961 at noon,H6672 that mockedH2048 ElijahH0452 and said,H0559 CryH7121 voiceH6963 aloud-H1419 forH3588 a god-H0430 he [is]H1931 eitherH3588 he is meditating,H7879 orH3588 is busy,H7873 orH3588 is on a journey,H1870 [or] perhapsH0194 is sleeping,H3463 heH1931 and must be awakened.H3364
28: So they criedH7121 voiceH6963 aloud,H1419 and cut themselvesH1413 as [was] their customH4941 with swordsH2719 and lances,H7420 untilH5704 gushed outH8210 the bloodH1818 on them.H5921
29: And,H1961 when was past,H5674 middayH6672 and they prophesiedH5012 untilH5704 that the [time] of the offeringH5927 of the [evening] sacrifice,H4503 but [there was] noH0369 voice,H6963 and no oneH0369 answered,H6030 and no oneH0369 paid attention.H7182
30: And saidH0559 ElijahH0452 to allH3605 the people,H5971 come nearH5066 to meH0413 so came nearH5066 allH3605 the peopleH5971 to himH0413 and he repairedH7495 -H0853 the altarH4196 of YahwehH3068 [that was] broken down.H2040
31: And tookH3947 ElijahH0452 twoH8147 [and] tenH6240 stones,H0068 according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the sonsH1121 of Jacob,H3290 to whomH0834 had come,H1961 the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 untoH0413 saying,H0559 IsraelH3478 shall beH1961 your name.H8034
32: And he builtH1129 withH0854 the stonesH0068 an altarH4196 in the nameH8034 of Yahweh,H3068 and he madeH6213 a trenchH8585 large enough to holdH1004 two seahs ofH5429 seed.H2233 AroundH5439 altar,H4196
33: and he put in orderH6186 -H0853 the woodH6086 and cut in piecesH5408 -H0853 the bullH6499 and laid [it]H7760 onH5921 the wood,H6086
34: and said,H0559 FillH4390 fourH0702 pitchersH3537 waterpotsH4325 and pour [it]H3332 onH5921 the burnt sacrificeH5930 and onH5921 the woodH6086 and he said,H0559 do [it] a second time.H8138 And they did [it] a second timeH8138 and he saidH0559 do [it] a third time.H8027 And they did [it] a third time.H8027
35: So ranH1980 the waterH4325 all aroundH5439 the altar-H4196 and alsoH1571 -H0853 the trenchH8585 he filledH4390 with water.H4325
36: And it came to passH1961 at [the time of] the offeringH5927 of the [evening] sacrifice,H4503 that came near,H5066 ElijahH0452 the prophetH5030 and said,H0559 YahwehH3068 GodH0430 of Abraham,H0085 Isaac,H3327 and Israel,H3478 this dayH3117 let it be knownH3045 thatH3588 You [are]H0859 GodH0430 in Israel,H3478 and I [am]H0589 Your servant,H5650 and at Your wordH1697 [that] I have doneH6213 -H0853 allH3605 thingsH1697 these.H0428
37: Hear meH6030 Yahweh,H3068 hear meH6030 that may knowH3045 peopleH5971 thisH2088 thatH3588 You [are]H0859 YahwehH3068 God,H0430 and [that] YouH0859 have turned againH5437 -H0853 their heartsH3820 backward.H0322
38: And fell,H5307 the fireH0784 of YahwehH3068 and consumedH0398 -H0853 the burnt sacrifice,H5930 andH0853 the wood,H6086 andH0853 the stones,H0068 andH0853 the dust,H6083 andH0853 the waterH4325 that [was]H0834 in the trenchH8585 it licked up.H3897
39: And when saw [it]H7200 allH3605 the peopleH5971 and they fellH5307 onH5921 their faces-H6440 and they said,H0559 Yahweh,H3068 He [is]H1931 God-H0430 Yahweh,H3068 He [is]H1931 God.H0430
40: And saidH0559 ElijahH0452 SeizeH8610 -H0853 the prophetsH5030 of Baal-H1168 oneH0376 notH0408 do let escape.H4422 Of themH1992 and they seized themH8610 and brought them downH3381 ElijahH0452 toH0413 the BrookH5158 Kishon,H7028 and executed themH7819 there.H8033
41: And saidH0559 ElijahH0452 to Ahab,H0256 go up,H5927 eatH0398 and drink-H8354 forH3588 [there is] the soundH6963 of abundanceH1995 of rain.H1653
42: So went upH5927 AhabH0256 to eatH0398 and drink.H8354 And ElijahH0452 went upH5927 toH0413 the topH7218 of Carmel-H3760 then he bowed downH1457 on the ground,H0776 and putH7760 his faceH6440 betweenH0996 his knees,H1290
43: and saidH0559 toH0413 his servant,H5288 go upH5927 now,H4994 lookH5027 towardH1870 the sea.H3220 So he went up,H5927 and looked,H5027 and said,H0559 [There is] nothingH0369 -.H3972 and he said,H0559 go againH7725 sevenH7651 times.H6471
44: And it came to passH1961 the seventh [time],H7637 that he said,H0559 there is,H2009 a cloudH5645 as smallH6996 as a hand.H3709 Of manH0376 risingH5927 out of the sea,H3220 so he said,H0559 go up,H5927 sayH0559 toH0413 Ahab,H0256 Prepare [your chariot]H0631 and go down,H3381 andH3808 stops youH6113 before the rain.H1653
45: And it came to passH1961 in the meanwhile,H5704 thusH3541 and inH5704 the meantimeH3541 that the skyH8064 became blackH6937 with cloudsH5645 and wind,H7307 and there wasH1961 a rain.H1653 HeavyH1419 so rode away,H7392 AhabH0256 and wentH1980 to Jezreel.H3157
46: And the handH3027 of YahwehH3068 cameH1961 uponH0413 Elijah-H0452 and he girded upH8151 his loins,H4975 and ranH7323 aheadH6440 of AhabH0256 toH5704 the entranceH0935 of Jezreel.H3157
