1 Kings 18:37–46

37 Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. 38 Then ethe 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, fThe 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 gbrook Kishon, and hslew 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 iCarmel; and he kcast 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 la little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, †Prepare mthy 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 nJezreel. 46 And othe hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he pgirded up his loins, and ran before Ahab †to the entrance of nJezreel.
