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 it came to pass, as they stillH1980 went onH1980, and talkedH1696, that, behold, there appeared a chariotH7393 of fireH784, and horsesH5483 of fireH784, and partedH6504 them bothH8147 asunderH996; and ElijahH452 went upH5927 by a whirlwindH5591 into heavenH8064.
Then the kingH4428 sentH7971 to callH7121 AhimelechH288 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, and all his father'sH1 houseH1004, the priestsH3548 that were in NobH5011: and they cameH935 all of them to the kingH4428.
And SaulH7586 saidH559, HearH8085 now, thou sonH1121 of AhitubH285. And he answeredH559, Here I am, my lordH113. {Here…: Heb. Behold me}
And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto him, Why have ye conspiredH7194 against me, thou and the sonH1121 of JesseH3448, in that thou hast givenH5414 him breadH3899, and a swordH2719, and hast enquiredH7592 of GodH430 for him, that he should riseH6965 against me, to lie in waitH693, as at this dayH3117?
Then AhimelechH288 answeredH6030 the kingH4428, and saidH559, And who is so faithfulH539 among all thy servantsH5650 as DavidH1732, which is the king'sH4428 son in lawH2860, and goethH5493 at thy biddingH4928, and is honourableH3513 in thine houseH1004?
Did I thenH3117 beginH2490 to enquireH7592 of GodH430 for him? be it far from meH2486: let not the kingH4428 imputeH7760 any thingH1697 unto his servantH5650, nor to all the houseH1004 of my fatherH1: for thy servantH5650 knewH3045 nothingH1697 of all this, lessH6996 or moreH1419. {less…: Heb. little or great}
And the kingH4428 saidH559, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191, AhimelechH288, thou, and all thy father'sH1 houseH1004.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto the footmenH7323 that stoodH5324 about him, TurnH5437, and slayH4191 the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068; because their handH3027 also is with DavidH1732, and because they knewH3045 when he fledH1272, and did not shewH1540+H241 it to me. But the servantsH5650 of the kingH4428 wouldH14 not put forthH7971 their handH3027 to fallH6293 upon the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068. {footmen: or, guard: Heb. runners}
And the kingH4428 saidH559 to DoegH1673, TurnH5437 thou, and fallH6293 upon the priestsH3548. And DoegH1673 the EdomiteH130 turnedH5437, and he fellH6293 upon the priestsH3548, and slewH4191 on that dayH3117 fourscoreH8084 and fiveH2568 personsH376 that did wearH5375 a linenH906 ephodH646.
And NobH5011, the cityH5892 of the priestsH3548, smoteH5221 he with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, both menH376 and womenH802, childrenH5768 and sucklingsH3243, and oxenH7794, and assesH2543, and sheepH7716, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
But SamuelH8050 ministeredH8334 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, being a childH5288, girdedH2296 with a linenH906 ephodH646.
And they saidH559 unto him, Behold now, there beH3426 with thy servantsH5650 fiftyH2572 strongH2428 menH1121+H582; let them goH3212, we pray thee, and seekH1245 thy masterH113: lest peradventure the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 hath taken him upH5375, and castH7993 him upon someH259 mountainH2022, or into someH259 valleyH1516. And he saidH559, Ye shall not sendH7971. {strong…: Heb. sons of strength} {some mountain: Heb. one of the mountains}
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560 to the ChaldeansH3779, The thingH4406 is goneH230 from meH4481: ifH2006 ye will notH3809 make knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493, with the interpretationH6591 thereof, ye shall be cutH5648 in piecesH1917, and your housesH1005 shall be madeH7761 a dunghillH5122. {cut…: Cald. made pieces}
But ifH2006 ye shewH2324 the dreamH2493, and the interpretationH6591 thereof, ye shall receiveH6902 ofH4481 meH6925 giftsH4978 and rewardsH5023 and greatH7690 honourH3367: thereforeH3861 shewH2324 me the dreamH2493, and the interpretationH6591 thereof. {rewards: or, fee}
They answeredH6032 againH8579 and saidH560, Let the kingH4430 tellH560 his servantsH5649 the dreamH2493, and we will shewH2324 the interpretationH6591 of it.
The kingH4430 answeredH6032 and saidH560, IH576 knowH3046 ofH4481 certaintyH3330 that yeH608 would gainH2084 the timeH5732, becauseH6903+H3606 ye seeH2370 the thingH4406 is goneH230 fromH4481 me. {gain: Cald. buy}
But ifH2006 ye will notH3809 make knownH3046 unto me the dreamH2493, there is but oneH1932+H2298 decreeH1882 for you: for ye have preparedH2164 lyingH3538 and corruptH7844 wordsH4406 to speakH560 beforeH6925 me, tillH5705 the timeH5732 be changedH8133: thereforeH3861 tellH560 me the dreamH2493, and I shall knowH3046 thatH1768 ye can shewH2324 me the interpretationH6591 thereof.
The ChaldeansH3779 answeredH6032 beforeH6925 the kingH4430, and saidH560, There isH383 notH3809 a manH606 uponH5922 the earthH3007 that canH3202 shewH2324 the king'sH4430 matterH4406: thereforeH6903+H1768 there is noH3809 kingH4430, lordH7229, nor rulerH7990, that askedH7593 suchH1836 thingsH4406 at anyH3606 magicianH2749, or astrologerH826, or ChaldeanH3779.
And it is a rareH3358 thingH4406 that the kingH4430 requirethH7593, and there isH383 noneH3809 otherH321 that can shewH2324 it beforeH6925 the kingH4430, exceptH3861 the godsH426, whose dwellingH4070 isH383 notH3809 withH5974 fleshH1321.
ForH6903 thisH1836 causeH3606 the kingH4430 was angryH1149 and veryH7690 furiousH7108, and commandedH560 to destroyH7 allH3606 the wiseH2445 men of BabylonH895.
And the decreeH1882 went forthH5312 that the wiseH2445 men should be slainH6992; and they soughtH1156 DanielH1841 and his fellowsH2269 to be slainH6992.
And the childH5288 SamuelH8050 grewH1432 onH1980, and was in favourH2896 both with the LORDH3068, and also with menH582.
Then the spiritH7307 took me upH5375, and I heardH8085 behindH310 me a voiceH6963 of a greatH1419 rushingH7494, saying, BlessedH1288 be the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068 from his placeH4725.
I heard also the noiseH6963 of the wingsH3671 of the living creaturesH2416 that touchedH5401 oneH802 anotherH269, and the noiseH6963 of the wheelsH212 over againstH5980 them, and a noiseH6963 of a greatH1419 rushingH7494. {touched: Heb. kissed}
So the spiritH7307 lifted me upH5375, and took me awayH3947, and I wentH3212 in bitternessH4751, in the heatH2534 of my spiritH7307; but the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was strongH2388 upon me. {in bitterness: Heb. bitter} {heat: Heb. hot anger}
ThenG5119 HerodG2264, when he sawG1492 thatG3754 he was mockedG1702 ofG5259 the wise menG3097, was exceedingG3029 wrothG2373, andG2532 sent forthG649, and slewG337 allG3956 the childrenG3816 that were inG1722 BethlehemG965, andG2532 inG1722 allG3956 the coastsG3725 thereofG846, fromG575 two years oldG1332 andG2532 underG2736, accordingG2596 to the timeG5550 whichG3739 he had diligently enquiredG198 ofG3844 the wise menG3097.
And SamuelH8050 grewH1431, and the LORDH3068 was with him, and did let none of his wordsH1697 fallH5307 to the groundH776.
And he put forthH7971 the formH8403 of an handH3027, and tookH3947 me by a lockH6734 of mine headH7218; and the spiritH7307 lifted me upH5375 between the earthH776 and the heavenH8064, and broughtH935 me in the visionsH4759 of GodH430 to JerusalemH3389, to the doorH6607 of the innerH6442 gateH8179 that lookethH6437 toward the northH6828; where was the seatH4186 of the imageH5566 of jealousyH7068, which provoketh to jealousyH7069.
AndG1161 whenG1934 HerodG2264 had sought forG1934 himG846, andG2532 found himG2147 notG3361, he examinedG350 the keepersG5441, and commandedG2753 that they should be put to deathG520. AndG2532 he went downG2718 fromG575 JudaeaG2449 toG1519 CaesareaG2542, and there abodeG1304.
And all IsraelH3478 from DanH1835 even to BeershebaH884 knewH3045 that SamuelH8050 was establishedH539 to be a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068. {established: or, faithful}
Afterwards the spiritH7307 took me upH5375, and broughtH935 me in a visionH4758 by the SpiritH7307 of GodH430 into ChaldeaH3778, to them of the captivityH1473. So the visionH4758 that I had seenH7200 went upH5927 from me.
For in the eighthH8083 yearH8141 of his reignH4427, while he was yet youngH5288, he beganH2490 to seekH1875 after the GodH430 of DavidH1732 his fatherH1: and in the twelfthH8147+H6240 yearH8141 he beganH2490 to purgeH2891 JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389 from the high placesH1116, and the grovesH842, and the carved imagesH6456, and the molten imagesH4541.
The handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was upon me, and carried me outH3318 in the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068, and set me downH5117 in the midstH8432 of the valleyH1237 which was fullH4392 of bonesH6106,
O GodH430, thou hast taughtH3925 me from my youthH5271: and hitherto have I declaredH5046 thy wondrous worksH6381.
In the fiveH2568 and twentiethH6242 yearH8141 of our captivityH1546, in the beginningH7218 of the yearH8141, in the tenthH6218 day of the monthH2320, in the fourteenthH702+H6240 yearH8141 afterH310 that the cityH5892 was smittenH5221, in the selfsameH6106 dayH3117 the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 was upon me, and broughtH935 me thither.
Now also whenH5704 I am oldH2209 and grayheadedH7872, O GodH430, forsakeH5800 me not; until I have shewedH5046 thy strengthH2220 unto this generationH1755, and thy powerH1369 to every one that is to comeH935. {when…: Heb. unto old age and gray hairs} {thy strength: Heb. thine arm}
In the visionsH4759 of GodH430 broughtH935 he me into the landH776 of IsraelH3478, and setH5117 me upon a veryH3966 highH1364 mountainH2022, by which was as the frameH4011 of a cityH5892 on the southH5045. {by which: or, upon which}
The fearH3374 of the LORDH3068 is to hateH8130 evilH7451: prideH1344, and arrogancyH1347, and the evilH7451 wayH1870, and the frowardH8419 mouthH6310, do I hateH8130.
ThenG5119 was JesusG2424 led upG321 ofG5259 the SpiritG4151 intoG1519 the wildernessG2048 to be temptedG3985 ofG5259 the devilG1228.
It is goodH2896 that thou shouldest take holdH270 of this; yea, also from thisH2088 withdrawH3240 not thine handH3027: for he that fearethH3373 GodH430 shall come forthH3318 of them all.
AndG1161 whenG3753 they were come upG305 out ofG1537 the waterG5204, the SpiritG4151 of the LordG2962 caught awayG726 PhilipG5376+G2532, that the eunuchG2135 sawG1492+G3756 himG846 no moreG3765: andG1063 he wentG4198 on hisG846 wayG3598 rejoicingG5463.
Who is among you that fearethH3373 the LORDH3068, that obeyethH8085 the voiceH6963 of his servantH5650, that walkethH1980 in darknessH2825, and hath no lightH5051? let him trustH982 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, and stayH8172 upon his GodH430.
I knewG1492 a manG444 inG1722 ChristG5547 aboveG4253 fourteenG1180 yearsG2094 agoG4253, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492; or whetherG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;) such an oneG5108 caught upG726 toG2193 the thirdG5154 heavenG3772.
ForG1063 he shall beG2071 greatG3173 in the sightG1799 of the LordG2962, andG2532 shall drinkG4095 neitherG3364 wineG3631 norG2532 strong drinkG4608; andG2532 he shall be filledG4130 with the HolyG40 GhostG4151, evenG2089 fromG1537 hisG846 mother'sG3384 wombG2836.
