And it came to pass after manyH7227 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to ElijahH452 in the thirdH7992 yearH8141, sayingH559, GoH3212, shewH7200 thyself unto AhabH256; and I will sendH5414 rainH4306 uponH6440 the earthH127.
And ElijahH452 wentH3212 to shewH7200 himself unto AhabH256. And there was a soreH2389 famineH7458 in SamariaH8111.
And AhabH256 calledH7121 ObadiahH5662, which was the governor of his houseH1004. (Now ObadiahH5662 fearedH3373 the LORDH3068 greatlyH3966: {Obadiah: Heb. Obadiahu} {the governor…: Heb. over his house}
For it was so, when JezebelH348 cut offH3772 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, that ObadiahH5662 tookH3947 an hundredH3967 prophetsH5030, and hidH2244 them by fiftyH376+H2572 in a caveH4631, and fedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325.) {Jezebel: Heb. Izebel}
And AhabH256 saidH559 unto ObadiahH5662, GoH3212 into the landH776, unto all fountainsH4599 of waterH4325, and unto all brooksH5158: peradventureH194 we may findH4672 grassH2682 to saveH2421 the horsesH5483 and mulesH6505 aliveH2421, that we loseH3772 not all the beastsH929. {that…: Heb. that we cut not off ourselves from the beasts}
So they dividedH2505 the landH776 between them to pass throughoutH5674 it: AhabH256 wentH1980 oneH259 wayH1870 by himself, and ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 anotherH259 wayH1870 by himself.
And as ObadiahH5662 was in the wayH1870, behold, ElijahH452 metH7125 him: and he knewH5234 him, and fellH5307 on his faceH6440, and saidH559, Art thou that my lordH113 ElijahH452?
And he answeredH559 him, I am: goH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here.
And he saidH559, What have I sinnedH2398, that thou wouldest deliverH5414 thy servantH5650 into the handH3027 of AhabH256, to slayH4191 me?
As the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 livethH2416, there is noH3426 nationH1471 or kingdomH4467, whitherH834 my lordH113 hath not sentH7971 to seekH1245 thee: and when they saidH559, He is not there; he took an oathH7650 of the kingdomH4467 and nationH1471, that they foundH4672 thee not.
And now thou sayestH559, GoH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here.
And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am goneH3212 from thee, that the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall carryH5375 thee whither I knowH3045 not; and so when I comeH935 and tellH5046 AhabH256, and he cannot findH4672 thee, he shall slayH2026 me: but I thy servantH5650 fearH3372 the LORDH3068 from my youthH5271.
Was it not toldH5046 my lordH113 what I didH6213 when JezebelH348 slewH2026 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, how I hidH2244 an hundredH3967 menH376 of the LORD'SH3068 prophetsH5030 by fiftyH2572 in a caveH4631, and fedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325?
And now thou sayestH559, GoH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here: and he shall slayH2026 me.
And ElijahH452 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, I will surely shewH7200 myself unto him to dayH3117.
So ObadiahH5662 wentH3212 to meetH7125 AhabH256, and toldH5046 him: and AhabH256 wentH3212 to meetH7125 ElijahH452.
And it came to pass, when AhabH256 sawH7200 ElijahH452, that AhabH256 saidH559 unto him, Art thou he that troublethH5916 IsraelH3478?
And he answeredH559, I have not troubledH5916 IsraelH3478; but thou, and thy father'sH1 houseH1004, in that ye have forsakenH5800 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, and thou hast followedH3212+H310 BaalimH1168.
Now therefore sendH7971, and gatherH6908 to me all IsraelH3478 unto mountH2022 CarmelH3760, and the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168 fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572, and the prophetsH5030 of the grovesH842 fourH702 hundredH3967, which eatH398 at Jezebel'sH348 tableH7979.
So AhabH256 sentH7971 unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and gatheredH6908 the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908 unto mountH2022 CarmelH3760.
And ElijahH452 cameH5066 unto all the peopleH5971, and saidH559, How longH5921 haltH6452 ye between twoH8147 opinionsH5587? if the LORDH3068 be GodH430, follow him: but if BaalH1168, then followH3212+H310 him. And the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 him not a wordH1697. {opinions: or, thoughts}
Then saidH559 ElijahH452 unto the peopleH5971, I, even I only, remainH3498 a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068; but Baal'sH1168 prophetsH5030 are fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376.
Let them therefore giveH5414 us twoH8147 bullocksH6499; and let them chooseH977 oneH259 bullockH6499 for themselves, and cut it in piecesH5408, and layH7760 it on woodH6086, and putH7760 no fireH784 under: and I will dressH6213 the otherH259 bullockH6499, and layH5414 it on woodH6086, and putH7760 no fireH784 under:
And callH7121 ye on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, and I will callH7121 on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and the GodH430 that answerethH6030 by fireH784, let him be GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030 and saidH559, It is wellH2896 spokenH1697. {It is…: Heb. The word is good}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, ChooseH977 you oneH259 bullockH6499 for yourselves, and dressH6213 it firstH7223; for ye are manyH7227; and callH7121 on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, but putH7760 no fireH784 under.
And they tookH3947 the bullockH6499 which was givenH5414 them, and they dressedH6213 it, and calledH7121 on the nameH8034 of BaalH1168 from morningH1242 even until noonH6672, sayingH559, O BaalH1168, hearH6030 us. But there was noH369 voiceH6963, nor any that answeredH6030. And they leapedH6452 upon the altarH4196 which was madeH6213. {hear: or, answer} {answered: or, heard} {leaped…: or, leaped up and down at the altar}
And it came to pass at noonH6672, that ElijahH452 mockedH2048 them, and saidH559, CryH7121 aloudH1419+H6963: for he is a godH430; either he is talkingH7879, or he is pursuingH7873, or he is in a journeyH1870, or peradventureH194 he sleepethH3463, and must be awakedH3364. {aloud: Heb. with a great voice} {he is talking: or, he meditateth} {is pursuing: Heb. hath a pursuit}
And they criedH7121 aloudH6963+H1419, and cutH1413 themselves after their mannerH4941 with knivesH2719 and lancetsH7420, till the bloodH1818 gushed outH8210 upon them. {the blood…: Heb. poured out blood upon them}
And it came to pass, when middayH6672 was pastH5674, and they prophesiedH5012 until the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that there was neither voiceH6963, nor any to answerH6030, nor any that regardedH7182. {offering: Heb. ascending} {that regarded: Heb. attention}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto all the peopleH5971, Come nearH5066 unto me. And all the peopleH5971 came nearH5066 unto him. And he repairedH7495 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 that was broken downH2040.
And ElijahH452 tookH3947 twelveH8147+H6240 stonesH68, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, unto whom the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came, sayingH559, IsraelH3478 shall be thy nameH8034:
And with the stonesH68 he builtH1129 an altarH4196 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and he madeH6213 a trenchH8585 aboutH5439 the altarH4196, as great as would containH1004 two measuresH5429 of seedH2233.
And he putH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186, and cutH5408 the bullockH6499 in pieces, and laidH7760 him on the woodH6086, and saidH559, FillH4390 fourH702 barrelsH3537 with waterH4325, and pourH3332 it on the burnt sacrificeH5930, and on the woodH6086.
And he saidH559, Do it the second timeH8138. And they did it the second timeH8138. And he saidH559, Do it the third timeH8027. And they did it the third timeH8027.
And the waterH4325 ranH3212 round aboutH5439 the altarH4196; and he filledH4390 the trenchH8585 also with waterH4325. {ran: Heb. went}
And it came to pass at the time of the offeringH5927 of the evening sacrificeH4503, that ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 came nearH5066, and saidH559, LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, let it be knownH3045 this dayH3117 that thou art GodH430 in IsraelH3478, and that I am thy servantH5650, and that I have doneH6213 all these things at thy wordH1697.
HearH6030 me, O LORDH3068, hearH6030 me, that this peopleH5971 may knowH3045 that thou art the LORDH3068 GodH430, and that thou hast turnedH5437 their heartH3820 backH5437 againH322.
Then the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 fellH5307, and consumedH398 the burnt sacrificeH5930, and the woodH6086, and the stonesH68, and the dustH6083, and licked upH3897 the waterH4325 that was in the trenchH8585.
And when all the peopleH5971 sawH7200 it, they fellH5307 on their facesH6440: and they saidH559, The LORDH3068, he is the GodH430; the LORDH3068, he is the GodH430.
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto them, TakeH8610 the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168; let not oneH376 of them escapeH4422. And they tookH8610 them: and ElijahH452 brought them downH3381 to the brookH5158 KishonH7028, and slewH7819 them there. {Take: or, Apprehend}
And ElijahH452 saidH559 unto AhabH256, Get thee upH5927, eatH398 and drinkH8354; for there is a soundH6963 of abundanceH1995 of rainH1653. {a sound…: or, a sound of a noise of rain}
So AhabH256 went upH5927 to eatH398 and to drinkH8354. And ElijahH452 went upH5927 to the topH7218 of CarmelH3760; and he cast himself downH1457 upon the earthH776, and putH7760 his faceH6440 between his kneesH1290,
And saidH559 to his servantH5288, Go upH5927 now, lookH5027 towardH1870 the seaH3220. And he went upH5927, and lookedH5027, and saidH559, There is nothingH3972. And he saidH559, Go againH7725 sevenH7651 timesH6471.
And it came to pass at the seventh timeH7637, that he saidH559, Behold, there arisethH5927 a littleH6996 cloudH5645 out of the seaH3220, like a man'sH376 handH3709. And he saidH559, Go upH5927, sayH559 unto AhabH256, PrepareH631 thy chariot, and get thee downH3381, that the rainH1653 stopH6113 thee not. {Prepare: Heb. Tie, or, Bind}
And it came to pass in the mean whileH3541, that the heavenH8064 was blackH6937 with cloudsH5645 and windH7307, and there was a greatH1419 rainH1653. And AhabH256 rodeH7392, and wentH3212 to JezreelH3157.
And the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was on ElijahH452; and he girded upH8151 his loinsH4975, and ranH7323 beforeH6440 AhabH256 to the entranceH935 of JezreelH3157. {to the…: Heb. till thou come to Jezreel}

And ElijahH452 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, I will surely shewH7200 myself unto him to dayH3117.
The wickedH7563 in his prideH1346 doth persecuteH1814 the poorH6041: let them be takenH8610 in the devicesH4209 thatH2098 they have imaginedH2803. {The wicked…: Heb. In the pride of the wicked he doth persecute}
So he wentH3212 and didH6213 according unto the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: for he wentH3212 and dweltH3427 by the brookH5158 CherithH3747, that is beforeH6440 JordanH3383.
And the kingH4428 swareH7650, and saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, that hath redeemedH6299 my soulH5315 out of all distressH6869,
And there was also a manH376 that prophesiedH5012 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, UrijahH223 the sonH1121 of ShemaiahH8098 of KirjathjearimH7157, who prophesiedH5012 against this cityH5892 and against this landH776 according to all the wordsH1697 of JeremiahH3414:
And when JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428, with all his mighty menH1368, and all the princesH8269, heardH8085 his wordsH1697, the kingH4428 soughtH1245 to put him to deathH4191: but when UrijahH223 heardH8085 it, he was afraidH3372, and fledH1272, and wentH935 into EgyptH4714;
And JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428 sentH7971 menH582 into EgyptH4714, namely, ElnathanH494 the sonH1121 of AchborH5907, and certain menH582 with him into EgyptH4714.
And they fetched forthH3318 UrijahH223 out of EgyptH4714, and broughtH935 him unto JehoiakimH3079 the kingH4428; who slewH5221 him with the swordH2719, and castH7993 his dead bodyH5038 into the gravesH6913 of the commonH1121 peopleH5971. {common…: Heb. sons of the people}

Now therefore, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, which hath establishedH3559 me, and setH3427 me on the throneH3678 of DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and who hath madeH6213 me an houseH1004, as he promisedH1696, AdonijahH138 shall be put to deathH4191 this dayH3117.

And ElijahH452 the TishbiteH8664, who was of the inhabitantsH8453 of GileadH1568, saidH559 unto AhabH256, As the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, there shall not be dewH2919 nor rainH4306 these yearsH8141, but accordingH6310 to my wordH1697. {Elijah: Heb.

Thou shalt hideH5641 them in the secretH5643 of thy presenceH6440 from the prideH7407 of manH376: thou shalt keep them secretlyH6845 in a pavilionH5521 from the strifeH7379 of tonguesH3956.
Then AchishH397 calledH7121 DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto him, Surely, as the LORDH3068 livethH2416, thou hast been uprightH3477, and thy going outH3318 and thy coming inH935 with me in the hostH4264 is goodH2896 in my sightH5869: for I have not foundH4672 evilH7451 in thee since the dayH3117 of thy comingH935 unto me unto this dayH3117: nevertheless the lordsH5633 favourH2896 thee notH5869. {the lords…: Heb. thou art not good in the eyes of the lords}
