And it
came
to pass
after
many
days
,
that the word
of the LORD
came
to Elijah
in the third
year
,
saying
,
Go
,
shew
thyself unto Ahab
;
and I will send
rain
upon
the earth
.
2
And Elijah
went
to shew
himself unto Ahab
.
And
there was
a sore
famine
in Samaria
.
3
And Ahab
called
Obadiah
,
which
was
the g
over
nor of
his
house
.
(Now
Obadiah
feared
the LORD
greatly
:
4
For it was
so
, when Jezebel
cut off
the
prophets
of the LORD
,
that Obadiah
took
an hundred
prophets
,
and hid
them by fifty
in a cave
,
and fed
them with bread
and water.)
5
And Ahab
said
unto Obadiah
,
Go
into the land
,
unto
all
fountains
of water
,
and unto
all
brooks
:
peradventure
we may find
grass
to save
the horses
and mules
alive,
that we lose
not
all
the beasts
.
6
So they divided
the land
between them to pass throughout
it: Ahab
went
one
way
by
himself
, and Obadiah
went
another
way
by
himself
.
7
And as Obadiah
was in the way
,
behold
,
Elijah
met him: and he knew him, and fell
on his face
,
and said
,
Art
thou that my lord
Elijah
?
8
And he answered
him, I
am
: go,
tell
thy lord
,
Behold
, Elijah
is here
.
9
And he said
,
What
have I sinned
,
that thou wouldest deliver
thy servant
into the hand
of Ahab
,
to slay
me?
10
As
the LORD
thy God
liveth
,
there
is no
nation
or kingdom
,
whither
my lord
hath not sent
to seek
thee: and when they said,
He is
not
there
; he took an oath
of the kingdom
and
nation
,
that they found
thee not.
11
And now thou sayest
,
Go
,
tell
thy lord
,
Behold
, Elijah
is here
.
12
And it shall come to pass,
as soon as
I am gone from thee, that the Spirit
of
the LORD
shall carry
thee whither I know
not;
and
so
when I come
and
tell
Ahab
,
and
he
cannot
find
thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant
fear
the LORD
from my youth
.
13
Was it not told
my lord
what
I did
when Jezebel
slew
the
prophets
of the LORD
,
how I hid
an hundred
men
of the LORD
'S
prophets
by fifty
in a cave
,
and fed
them with bread
and water?
14
And now thou sayest
,
Go
,
tell
thy lord
,
Behold
, Elijah
is here
: and he shall slay me.
15
And Elijah
said
,
As
the LORD
of hosts
liveth
,
before
whom
I stand
,
I
will surely
shew
myself unto him to day
.
16
So Obadiah
went
to meet
Ahab
,
and told
him: and
Ahab
went
to meet
Elijah
.
17
And it came to pass, when Ahab
saw
Elijah
,
that Ahab
said
unto him,
Art
thou he that troubleth
Israel
?
18
And he answered
,
I have not troubled
Israel
; but thou, and thy father's
house
,
in that ye have forsaken
the commandments
of the LORD
, and thou hast followed
Baalim
.
19
Now therefore send
,
and
gather
to me
all
Israel
unto mount
Carmel
,
and the prophets
of Baal
four
hundred and fifty,
and the prophets
of the groves
four
hundred,
which eat
at Jezebel's
table
.
20
So Ahab
sent
unto
all
the children
of Israel
, and gathered
the prophets
together
unto mount
Carmel
.
21
And Elijah
came
unto
all
the people
,
and said
,
How
long
halt
ye between two
opinions?
if
the LORD
be
God
, follow him: but
if
Baal,
then
follow him. And the people
answered
him not a word
.
22
Then said
Elijah
unto the people
, I,
even
I only, remain
a prophet
of the LORD
;
but Baal's
prophets
are
four
hundred and fifty
men
.
23
Let them therefore give
us two
bullocks
;
and let them choose
one
bullock
for themselves, and cut it in pieces,
and lay
it
on wood
,
and put
no
fire
under
: and I will dress
the other
bullock
,
and lay
it
on wood
,
and put
no
fire
under
:
24
And call
ye
on the name
of your gods
,
and I will call
on the name
of the LORD
:
and the God
that answereth
by fire
,
let him be God
.
And all the people
answered
and said
,
It is well
spoken
.
25
And Elijah
said
unto the prophets
of Baal
,
Choose
you one
bullock
for
yourselves, and dress
it
first
;
for
ye
are
many
; and call
on the name
of your gods
,
but put
no
fire
under
.
26
And they took
the bullock
which
was given
them, and they dressed
it
, and called
on the name
of Baal
from morning
even
until
noon
,
saying
,
O Baal
,
hear
us. But
there was
no
voice
,
nor any that answered
.
And they leaped
upon the altar
which
was made
.
27
And it
came
to pass at noon
,
that Elijah
mocked
them, and said,
Cry
aloud:
for he
is
a god
;
either
he is talking
, or he is pursuing,
or he is in a journey
,
or
peradventure
he sleepeth
,
and must be awaked
.
28
And they cried
aloud,
and cut
themselves after their manner
with knives
and lancets
,
till the blood
gushed out
upon them.
29
And it came to pass, when midday
was past
,
and they prophesied
until
the
time
of the offering
of the
evening
sacrifice
,
that
there
was
neither voice
,
no
r any to answer
,
no
r any that regarded
.
30
And Elijah
said
unto
all
the people
,
Come near
unto me. And
all
the people
came near
unto him. And he repaired
the altar
of the LORD
that was
broken down
.
31
And Elijah
took
twelve
stones
,
according to the number
of the tribes
of the sons
of Jacob
,
unto whom the word
of the LORD
came, saying,
Israel
shall be thy name
:
32
And with the stones
he built
an altar
in the name
of the LORD
:
and he made
a trench
about
the altar
,
as great as would contain
two measures
of seed
.
33
And he put
the wood
in order
,
and cut
the bullock
in pieces, and laid
him
on
the wood
, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour
it
on the burnt sacrifice, and on
the wood
.
34
And he
said
,
Do
it
the second time
.
And they did
it
the second time
.
And he
said
,
Do
it
the third time
.
And they did
it
the third time
.
35
And the water
ran
round about
the altar
;
and he filled
the trench
also
with water
.
36
And it came to pass at
the time of
the offering
of the
evening
sacrifice
,
that Elijah
the prophet
came near
,
and said
,
LORD
God
of Abraham
,
Isaac
,
and of Israel
,
let it be known
this day
that thou
art
God
in Israel
,
and
that
I
am
thy servant
,
and
that
I have done
all
these
things at thy word
.
37
Hear
me, O LORD,
hear
me, that
this
people
may know
that thou
art
the LORD
God
, and
that
thou hast turned
their
hear
t
back
again
.
38
Then the fire
of the LORD
fell
,
and consumed
the burnt sacrifice
,
and the wood
,
and the stones
,
and the dust
,
and licked up
the water
that
was
in the trench
.
39
And when
all
the people
saw
it
, they fell
on their faces
:
and they said
,
The LORD
,
he
is
the God
;
the LORD
,
he
is
the God
.
40
And Elijah
said
unto them, Take
the prophets
of Baal
;
let not one
of them escape
.
And they took
them: and Elijah
brought them down
to the brook
Kishon
,
and slew
them
there
.
41
And Elijah
said
unto Ahab
,
Get thee up
,
eat
and drink
;
for
there is
a sound
of abundance
of rain
.
42
So Ahab
went up
to eat
and to drink
.
And Elijah
went up
to the top
of Carmel
;
and he cast himself down
upon the earth
,
and put
his face
between
his knees,
43
And said
to his servant
,
Go up
now
, look
toward
the sea
.
And he went up
,
and looked
,
and said
,
There
is
nothing.
And he said
,
Go again
seven
times
.
44
And it
came
to pass at the seventh time
,
that he said
,
Behold
, there ariseth
a little
cloud
out of the sea
,
like a man's
hand
.
And he said
,
Go up
,
say
unto Ahab
,
Prepare
thy chariot
, and get thee down,
that the rain
stop
thee not.
45
And it came to pass in the mean while,
that the heaven
was black
with clouds
and wind
,
and there was a great
rain
.
And Ahab
rode
,
and went
to Jezreel
.
46
And the hand
of the LORD
was on Elijah
;
and he girded up
his loins
,
and ran
before
Ahab
to the entrance
of Jezreel
.
