1 Kings 18:1-46

And it came to pass [after] many
<07227>

days
<03117>_,

that the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came to Elijah
<0452>

in the third
<07992>

year
<08141>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

shew
<07200> (8734)

thyself unto Ahab
<0256>_;

and I will send
<05414> (8799)

rain
<04306>

upon
<06440>

the earth
<0127>_.

And Elijah
<0452>

went
<03212> (8799)

to shew
<07200> (8736)

himself unto Ahab
<0256>_.

And [there was] a sore
<02389>

famine
<07458>

in Samaria
<08111>_.

And Ahab
<0256>

called
<07121> (8799)

Obadiah
<05662>_,

which [was] the governor of [his] house
<01004>_.

(Now Obadiah
<05662>

feared
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>

greatly
<03966>_:

{Obadiah: Heb. Obadiahu} {the governor...: Heb. over his house}

For it was [so], when Jezebel
<0348>

cut off
<03772> (8687)

the prophets
<05030>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that Obadiah
<05662>

took
<03947> (8799)

an hundred
<03967>

prophets
<05030>_,

and hid
<02244> (8686)

them by fifty
<0376> <02572>

in a cave
<04631>_,

and fed
<03557> (8773)

them with bread
<03899>

and water
<04325>.)

{Jezebel: Heb. Izebel}

And Ahab
<0256>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Obadiah
<05662>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

into the land
<0776>_,

unto all fountains
<04599>

of water
<04325>_,

and unto all brooks
<05158>_:

peradventure
<0194>

we may find
<04672> (8799)

grass
<02682>

to save
<02421> (8762)

the horses
<05483>

and mules
<06505>

alive
<02421> (8762)_,

that we lose
<03772> (8686)

not all the beasts
<0929>_.

{that...: Heb. that we cut not off ourselves from the beasts}

So they divided
<02505> (8762)

the land
<0776>

between them to pass throughout
<05674> (8800)

it: Ahab
<0256>

went
<01980> (8804)

one
<0259>

way
<01870>

by himself, and Obadiah
<05662>

went
<01980> (8804)

another
<0259>

way
<01870>

by himself.

And as Obadiah
<05662>

was in the way
<01870>_,

behold, Elijah
<0452>

met
<07125> (8800)

him: and he knew
<05234> (8686)

him, and fell
<05307> (8799)

on his face
<06440>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Art] thou that my lord
<0113>

Elijah
<0452>_?

And he answered
<0559> (8799)

him, I [am]: go
<03212> (8798)_,

tell
<0559> (8798)

thy lord
<0113>_,

Behold, Elijah
<0452>

[is here].

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What have I sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

that thou wouldest deliver
<05414> (8802)

thy servant
<05650>

into the hand
<03027>

of Ahab
<0256>_,

to slay
<04191> (8687)

me?

[As] the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

liveth
<02416>_,

there is no
<03426>

nation
<01471>

or kingdom
<04467>_,

whither
<0834>

my lord
<0113>

hath not sent
<07971> (8804)

to seek
<01245> (8763)

thee: and when they said
<0559> (8804)_,

[He is] not [there]; he took an oath
<07650> (8689)

of the kingdom
<04467>

and nation
<01471>_,

that they found
<04672> (8799)

thee not.

And now thou sayest
<0559> (8802)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

tell
<0559> (8798)

thy lord
<0113>_,

Behold, Elijah
<0452>

[is here].

And it shall come to pass, [as soon as] I am gone
<03212> (8799)

from thee, that the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall carry
<05375> (8799)

thee whither I know
<03045> (8799)

not; and [so] when I come
<0935> (8804)

and tell
<05046> (8687)

Ahab
<0256>_,

and he cannot find
<04672> (8799)

thee, he shall slay
<02026> (8804)

me: but I thy servant
<05650>

fear
<03372> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

from my youth
<05271>_.

Was it not told
<05046> (8717)

my lord
<0113>

what I did
<06213> (8804)

when Jezebel
<0348>

slew
<02026> (8800)

the prophets
<05030>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

how I hid
<02244> (8686)

an hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

prophets
<05030>

by fifty
<02572>

in a cave
<04631>_,

and fed
<03557> (8770)

them with bread
<03899>

and water
<04325>_?

And now thou sayest
<0559> (8802)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

tell
<0559> (8798)

thy lord
<0113>_,

Behold, Elijah
<0452>

[is here]: and he shall slay
<02026> (8804)

me.

And Elijah
<0452>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

liveth
<02416>_,

before
<06440>

whom I stand
<05975> (8804)_,

I will surely shew
<07200> (8735)

myself unto him to day
<03117>_.

So Obadiah
<05662>

went
<03212> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

Ahab
<0256>_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

him: and Ahab
<0256>

went
<03212> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

Elijah
<0452>_.

And it came to pass, when Ahab
<0256>

saw
<07200> (8800)

Elijah
<0452>_,

that Ahab
<0256>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Art] thou he that troubleth
<05916> (8802)

Israel
<03478>_?

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I have not troubled
<05916> (8804)

Israel
<03478>_;

but thou, and thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

in that ye have forsaken
<05800> (8800)

the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and thou hast followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>

Baalim
<01168>_.

Now therefore send
<07971> (8798)_,

[and] gather
<06908> (8798)

to me all Israel
<03478>

unto mount
<02022>

Carmel
<03760>_,

and the prophets
<05030>

of Baal
<01168>

four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

and fifty
<02572>_,

and the prophets
<05030>

of the groves
<0842>

four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>_,

which eat
<0398> (8802)

at Jezebel's
<0348>

table
<07979>_.

So Ahab
<0256>

sent
<07971> (8799)

unto all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and gathered
<06908> (0)

the prophets
<05030>

together
<06908> (8799)

unto mount
<02022>

Carmel
<03760>_.

And Elijah
<0452>

came
<05066> (8799)

unto all the people
<05971>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

How long
<05921>

halt
<06452> (8802)

ye between two
<08147>

opinions
<05587>_?

if the LORD
<03068>

[be] God
<0430>_,

follow him: but if Baal
<01168>_,

[then] follow
<03212> (8798) <0310>

him. And the people
<05971>

answered
<06030> (8804)

him not a word
<01697>_.

{opinions: or, thoughts}

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Elijah
<0452>

unto the people
<05971>_,

I, [even] I only, remain
<03498> (8738)

a prophet
<05030>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

but Baal's
<01168>

prophets
<05030>

[are] four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

and fifty
<02572>

men
<0376>_.

Let them therefore give
<05414> (8799)

us two
<08147>

bullocks
<06499>_;

and let them choose
<0977> (8799)

one
<0259>

bullock
<06499>

for themselves, and cut it in pieces
<05408> (8762)_,

and lay
<07760> (8799)

[it] on wood
<06086>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

no fire
<0784>

[under]: and I will dress
<06213> (8799)

the other
<0259>

bullock
<06499>_,

and lay
<05414> (8804)

[it] on wood
<06086>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

no fire
<0784>

[under]:

And call
<07121> (8804)

ye on the name
<08034>

of your gods
<0430>_,

and I will call
<07121> (8799)

on the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

and the God
<0430>

that answereth
<06030> (8799)

by fire
<0784>_,

let him be God
<0430>_.

And all the people
<05971>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

It is well
<02896>

spoken
<01697>_.

{It is...: Heb. The word is good}

And Elijah
<0452>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the prophets
<05030>

of Baal
<01168>_,

Choose
<0977> (8798)

you one
<0259>

bullock
<06499>

for yourselves, and dress
<06213> (8798)

[it] first
<07223>_;

for ye [are] many
<07227>_;

and call
<07121> (8798)

on the name
<08034>

of your gods
<0430>_,

but put
<07760> (8799)

no fire
<0784>

[under].

And they took
<03947> (8799)

the bullock
<06499>

which was given
<05414> (8804)

them, and they dressed
<06213> (8799)

[it], and called
<07121> (8799)

on the name
<08034>

of Baal
<01168>

from morning
<01242>

even until noon
<06672>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

O Baal
<01168>_,

hear
<06030> (8798)

us. But [there was] no
<0369>

voice
<06963>_,

nor any that answered
<06030> (8802)_.

And they leaped
<06452> (8762)

upon the altar
<04196>

which was made
<06213> (8804)_.

{hear: or, answer} {answered: or, heard} {leaped...: or, leaped up and down at the altar}

And it came to pass at noon
<06672>_,

that Elijah
<0452>

mocked
<02048> (8762)

them, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Cry
<07121> (8798)

aloud
<01419> <06963>_:

for he [is] a god
<0430>_;

either he is talking
<07879>_,

or he is pursuing
<07873>_,

or he is in a journey
<01870>_,

[or] peradventure
<0194>

he sleepeth
<03463>_,

and must be awaked
<03364> (8799)_.

{aloud: Heb. with a great voice} {he is talking: or, he meditateth} {is pursuing: Heb. hath a pursuit}

And they cried
<07121> (8799)

aloud
<06963> <01419>_,

and cut
<01413> (8704)

themselves after their manner
<04941>

with knives
<02719>

and lancets
<07420>_,

till the blood
<01818>

gushed out
<08210> (8800)

upon them. {the blood...: Heb. poured out blood upon them}

And it came to pass, when midday
<06672>

was past
<05674> (8800)_,

and they prophesied
<05012> (8691)

until the [time] of the offering
<05927> (8800)

of the [evening] sacrifice
<04503>_,

that [there was] neither voice
<06963>_,

nor any to answer
<06030> (8802)_,

nor any that regarded
<07182>_.

{offering: Heb. ascending} {that regarded: Heb. attention}

And Elijah
<0452>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto all the people
<05971>_,

Come near
<05066> (8798)

unto me. And all the people
<05971>

came near
<05066> (8799)

unto him. And he repaired
<07495> (8762)

the altar
<04196>

of the LORD
<03068>

[that was] broken down
<02040> (8803)_.

And Elijah
<0452>

took
<03947> (8799)

twelve
<08147> <06240>

stones
<068>_,

according to the number
<04557>

of the tribes
<07626>

of the sons
<01121>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

unto whom the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

came, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Israel
<03478>

shall be thy name
<08034>_:

And with the stones
<068>

he built
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

and he made
<06213> (8799)

a trench
<08585>

about
<05439>

the altar
<04196>_,

as great as would contain
<01004>

two measures
<05429>

of seed
<02233>_.

And he put
<06186> (0)

the wood
<06086>

in order
<06186> (8799)_,

and cut
<05408> (8762)

the bullock
<06499>

in pieces, and laid
<07760> (8799)

[him] on the wood
<06086>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Fill
<04390> (8798)

four
<0702>

barrels
<03537>

with water
<04325>_,

and pour
<03332> (8798)

[it] on the burnt sacrifice
<05930>_,

and on the wood
<06086>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Do [it] the second time
<08138> (8798)_.

And they did [it] the second time
<08138> (8799)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Do [it] the third time
<08027> (8761)_.

And they did [it] the third time
<08027> (8762)_.

And the water
<04325>

ran
<03212> (8799)

round about
<05439>

the altar
<04196>_;

and he filled
<04390> (8765)

the trench
<08585>

also with water
<04325>_.

{ran: Heb. went}

And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering
<05927> (8800)

of the [evening] sacrifice
<04503>_,

that Elijah
<0452>

the prophet
<05030>

came near
<05066> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

Isaac
<03327>_,

and of Israel
<03478>_,

let it be known
<03045> (8735)

this day
<03117>

that thou [art] God
<0430>

in Israel
<03478>_,

and [that] I [am] thy servant
<05650>_,

and [that] I have done
<06213> (8804)

all these things at thy word
<01697>_.

Hear
<06030> (8798)

me, O LORD
<03068>_,

hear
<06030> (8798)

me, that this people
<05971>

may know
<03045> (8799)

that thou [art] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_,

and [that] thou hast turned
<05437> (0)

their heart
<03820>

back
<05437> (8689)

again
<0322>_.

Then the fire
<0784>

of the LORD
<03068>

fell
<05307> (8799)_,

and consumed
<0398> (8799)

the burnt sacrifice
<05930>_,

and the wood
<06086>_,

and the stones
<068>_,

and the dust
<06083>_,

and licked up
<03897> (8765)

the water
<04325>

that [was] in the trench
<08585>_.

And when all the people
<05971>

saw
<07200> (8799)

[it], they fell
<05307> (8799)

on their faces
<06440>_:

and they said
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>_,

he [is] the God
<0430>_;

the LORD
<03068>_,

he [is] the God
<0430>_.

And Elijah
<0452>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Take
<08610> (8798)

the prophets
<05030>

of Baal
<01168>_;

let not one
<0376>

of them escape
<04422> (8735)_.

And they took
<08610> (8799)

them: and Elijah
<0452>

brought them down
<03381> (8686)

to the brook
<05158>

Kishon
<07028>_,

and slew
<07819> (8799)

them there. {Take: or, Apprehend}

And Elijah
<0452>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Ahab
<0256>_,

Get thee up
<05927> (8798)_,

eat
<0398> (8798)

and drink
<08354> (8798)_;

for [there is] a sound
<06963>

of abundance
<01995>

of rain
<01653>_.

{a sound...: or, a sound of a noise of rain}

So Ahab
<0256>

went up
<05927> (8799)

to eat
<0398> (8800)

and to drink
<08354> (8800)_.

And Elijah
<0452>

went up
<05927> (8804)

to the top
<07218>

of Carmel
<03760>_;

and he cast himself down
<01457> (8799)

upon the earth
<0776>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

his face
<06440>

between his knees
<01290>_,

And said
<0559> (8799)

to his servant
<05288>_,

Go up
<05927> (8798)

now, look
<05027> (8685)

toward
<01870>

the sea
<03220>_.

And he went up
<05927> (8799)_,

and looked
<05027> (8686)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[There is] nothing
<03972>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go again
<07725> (8798)

seven
<07651>

times
<06471>_.

And it came to pass at the seventh time
<07637>_,

that he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, there ariseth
<05927> (8802)

a little
<06996>

cloud
<05645>

out of the sea
<03220>_,

like a man's
<0376>

hand
<03709>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go up
<05927> (8798)_,

say
<0559> (8798)

unto Ahab
<0256>_,

Prepare
<0631> (8798)

[thy chariot], and get thee down
<03381> (8798)_,

that the rain
<01653>

stop
<06113> (8799)

thee not. {Prepare: Heb. Tie, or, Bind}

And it came to pass in the mean while
<03541>_,

that the heaven
<08064>

was black
<06937> (8694)

with clouds
<05645>

and wind
<07307>_,

and there was a great
<01419>

rain
<01653>_.

And Ahab
<0256>

rode
<07392> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Jezreel
<03157>_.

And the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

was on Elijah
<0452>_;

and he girded up
<08151> (8762)

his loins
<04975>_,

and ran
<07323> (8799)

before
<06440>

Ahab
<0256>

to the entrance
<0935> (8800)

of Jezreel
<03157>_.

{to the...: Heb. till thou come to Jezreel}
