| [1]And it came to pass after manyH7227 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to ElijahH452 in the thirdH7992 yearH8141, sayingH559[H8800], GoH3212[H8798], shewH7200[H8734] thyself unto AhabH256; and I will sendH5414[H8799] rainH4306 uponH6440 the earthH127. |
[No book] |
| [2]And ElijahH452 wentH3212[H8799] to shewH7200[H8736] himself unto AhabH256. And there was a soreH2389 famineH7458 in SamariaH8111. |
[No book] |
| [3]And AhabH256 calledH7121[H8799] ObadiahH5662, which was the governor of his houseH1004. (Now ObadiahH5662 fearedH3373 the LORDH3068 greatlyH3966: |
[No book] |
| [4]For it was so, when JezebelH348 cut offH3772[H8687] the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, that ObadiahH5662 tookH3947[H8799] an hundredH3967 prophetsH5030, and hidH2244[H8686] them by fiftyH376[H2572] in a caveH4631, and fedH3557[H8773] them with breadH3899 and waterH4325.) |
[No book] |
| [5]And AhabH256 saidH559[H8799] unto ObadiahH5662, GoH3212[H8798] into the landH776, unto all fountainsH4599 of waterH4325, and unto all brooksH5158: peradventureH194 we may findH4672[H8799] grassH2682 to saveH2421[H8762] the horsesH5483 and mulesH6505 aliveH2421[H8762], that we loseH3772[H8686] not all the beastsH929. |
[No book] |
| [6]So they dividedH2505[H8762] the landH776 between them to pass throughoutH5674[H8800] it: AhabH256 wentH1980[H8804] oneH259 wayH1870 by himself, and ObadiahH5662 wentH1980[H8804] anotherH259 way by himselfH1870. |
[No book] |
| [7]And as ObadiahH5662 was in the wayH1870, behold, ElijahH452 metH7125[H8800] him: and he knewH5234[H8686] him, and fellH5307[H8799] on his faceH6440, and saidH559[H8799], Art thou that my lordH113 ElijahH452? |
[No book] |
| [8]And he answeredH559[H8799] him, I am: goH3212[H8798], tellH559[H8798] thy lordH113, Behold, Elijah is hereH452. |
[No book] |
| [9]And he saidH559[H8799], What have I sinnedH2398[H8804], that thou wouldest deliverH5414[H8802] thy servantH5650 into the handH3027 of AhabH256, to slayH4191 meH8687? |
[No book] |
| [10]As the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 livethH2416, there is noH3426 nationH1471 or kingdomH4467, whitherH834 my lordH113 hath not sentH7971[H8804] to seekH1245[H8763] thee: and when they saidH559[H8804], He is not there; he took an oathH7650[H8689] of the kingdomH4467 and nationH1471, that they foundH4672 thee notH8799. |
[No book] |
| [11]And now thou sayestH559[H8802], GoH3212[H8798], tellH559[H8798] thy lordH113, Behold, Elijah is hereH452. |
[No book] |
| [12]And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am goneH3212[H8799] from thee, that the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall carryH5375[H8799] thee whither I knowH3045[H8799] not; and so when I comeH935[H8804] and tellH5046[H8687] AhabH256, and he cannot findH4672[H8799] thee, he shall slayH2026[H8804] me: but I thy servantH5650 fearH3372[H8804] the LORDH3068 from my youthH5271. |
[No book] |
| [13]Was it not toldH5046[H8717] my lordH113 what I didH6213[H8804] when JezebelH348 slewH2026[H8800] the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, how I hidH2244[H8686] an hundredH3967 menH376 of the LORD'SH3068 prophetsH5030 by fiftyH2572 in a caveH4631, and fedH3557[H8770] them with breadH3899 and waterH4325? |
[No book] |
| [14]And now thou sayestH559[H8802], GoH3212[H8798], tellH559[H8798] thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here: and he shall slayH2026 meH8804. |
[No book] |
| [15]And ElijahH452 saidH559[H8799], As the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975[H8804], I will surely shewH7200[H8735] myself unto him to dayH3117. |
[No book] |
| [16]So ObadiahH5662 wentH3212[H8799] to meetH7125[H8800] AhabH256, and toldH5046[H8686] him: and AhabH256 wentH3212[H8799] to meetH7125[H8800] ElijahH452. |
[No book] |
| [17]And it came to pass, when AhabH256 sawH7200[H8800] ElijahH452, that AhabH256 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Art thou he that troublethH5916[H8802] IsraelH3478? |
[No book] |
| [18]And he answeredH559[H8799], I have not troubledH5916[H8804] IsraelH3478; but thou, and thy father'sH1 houseH1004, in that ye have forsakenH5800[H8800] the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, and thou hast followedH3212[H8799][H310] BaalimH1168. |
[No book] |
| [19]Now therefore sendH7971[H8798], and gatherH6908[H8798] 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[H8802] at Jezebel'sH348 tableH7979. |
[No book] |
| [20]So AhabH256 sentH7971[H8799] unto all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and gatheredH6908 the prophetsH5030 togetherH6908[H8799] unto mountH2022 CarmelH3760. |
[No book] |
| [21]And ElijahH452 cameH5066[H8799] unto all the peopleH5971, and saidH559[H8799], How longH5921 haltH6452[H8802] ye between twoH8147 opinionsH5587? if the LORDH3068 be GodH430, follow him: but if BaalH1168, then followH3212[H8798][H310] him. And the peopleH5971 answeredH6030[H8804] him not a wordH1697. |
[No book] |
| [22]Then saidH559[H8799] ElijahH452 unto the peopleH5971, I, even I only, remainH3498[H8738] a prophetH5030 of the LORDH3068; but Baal'sH1168 prophetsH5030 are fourH702 hundredH3967 and fiftyH2572 menH376. |
[No book] |
| [23]Let them therefore giveH5414[H8799] us twoH8147 bullocksH6499; and let them chooseH977[H8799] oneH259 bullockH6499 for themselves, and cut it in piecesH5408[H8762], and layH7760[H8799] it on woodH6086, and putH7760[H8799] no fireH784 under: and I will dressH6213[H8799] the otherH259 bullockH6499, and layH5414[H8804] it on woodH6086, and putH7760[H8799] no fire underH784: |
[No book] |
| [24]And callH7121[H8804] ye on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, and I will callH7121[H8799] on the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and the GodH430 that answerethH6030[H8799] by fireH784, let him be GodH430. And all the peopleH5971 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], It is wellH2896 spokenH1697. |
[No book] |
| [25]And ElijahH452 saidH559[H8799] unto the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168, ChooseH977[H8798] you oneH259 bullockH6499 for yourselves, and dressH6213[H8798] it firstH7223; for ye are manyH7227; and callH7121[H8798] on the nameH8034 of your godsH430, but putH7760[H8799] no fire underH784. |
[No book] |
| [26]And they tookH3947[H8799] the bullockH6499 which was givenH5414[H8804] them, and they dressedH6213[H8799] it, and calledH7121[H8799] on the nameH8034 of BaalH1168 from morningH1242 even until noonH6672, sayingH559[H8800], O BaalH1168, hearH6030[H8798] us. But there was noH369 voiceH6963, nor any that answeredH6030[H8802]. And they leapedH6452[H8762] upon the altarH4196 which was madeH6213.[H8804] |
[No book] |
| [27]And it came to pass at noonH6672, that ElijahH452 mockedH2048[H8762] them, and saidH559[H8799], CryH7121[H8798] 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.[H8799] |
[No book] |
| [28]And they criedH7121[H8799] aloudH6963[H1419], and cutH1413[H8704] themselves after their mannerH4941 with knivesH2719 and lancetsH7420, till the bloodH1818 gushed outH8210 upon themH8800. |
[No book] |
| [29]And it came to pass, when middayH6672 was pastH5674[H8800], and they prophesiedH5012[H8691] until the time of the offeringH5927[H8800] of the evening sacrificeH4503, that there was neither voiceH6963, nor any to answerH6030[H8802], nor any that regardedH7182. |
[No book] |
| [30]And ElijahH452 saidH559[H8799] unto all the peopleH5971, Come nearH5066[H8798] unto me. And all the peopleH5971 came nearH5066[H8799] unto him. And he repairedH7495[H8762] the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 that was broken downH2040.[H8803] |
[No book] |
| [31]And ElijahH452 tookH3947[H8799] twelveH8147[H6240] stonesH68, according to the numberH4557 of the tribesH7626 of the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290, unto whom the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came, sayingH559[H8800], IsraelH3478 shall be thy nameH8034: |
[No book] |
| [32]And with the stonesH68 he builtH1129[H8799] an altarH4196 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: and he madeH6213[H8799] a trenchH8585 aboutH5439 the altarH4196, as great as would containH1004 two measuresH5429 of seedH2233. |
[No book] |
| [33]And he putH6186 the woodH6086 in orderH6186[H8799], and cutH5408[H8762] the bullockH6499 in pieces, and laidH7760[H8799] him on the woodH6086, and saidH559[H8799], FillH4390[H8798] fourH702 barrelsH3537 with waterH4325, and pourH3332[H8798] it on the burnt sacrificeH5930, and on the woodH6086. |
[No book] |
| [34]And he saidH559[H8799], Do it the second timeH8138[H8798]. And they did it the second timeH8138[H8799]. And he saidH559[H8799], Do it the third timeH8027[H8761]. And they did it the third timeH8027.[H8762] |
[No book] |
| [35]And the waterH4325 ranH3212[H8799] round aboutH5439 the altarH4196; and he filledH4390[H8765] the trenchH8585 also with waterH4325. |
[No book] |
| [36]And it came to pass at the time of the offeringH5927[H8800] of the evening sacrificeH4503, that ElijahH452 the prophetH5030 came nearH5066[H8799], and saidH559[H8799], LORDH3068 GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and of IsraelH3478, let it be knownH3045[H8735] this dayH3117 that thou art GodH430 in IsraelH3478, and that I am thy servantH5650, and that I have doneH6213[H8804] all these things at thy wordH1697. |
[No book] |
| [37]HearH6030[H8798] me, O LORDH3068, hearH6030[H8798] me, that this peopleH5971 may knowH3045[H8799] that thou art the LORDH3068 GodH430, and that thou hast turnedH5437 their heartH3820 backH5437[H8689] againH322. |
[No book] |
| [38]Then the fireH784 of the LORDH3068 fellH5307[H8799], and consumedH398[H8799] the burnt sacrificeH5930, and the woodH6086, and the stonesH68, and the dustH6083, and licked upH3897[H8765] the waterH4325 that was in the trenchH8585. |
[No book] |
| [39]And when all the peopleH5971 sawH7200[H8799] it, they fellH5307[H8799] on their facesH6440: and they saidH559[H8799], The LORDH3068, he is the GodH430; the LORDH3068, he is the GodH430. |
[No book] |
| [40]And ElijahH452 saidH559[H8799] unto them, TakeH8610[H8798] the prophetsH5030 of BaalH1168; let not oneH376 of them escapeH4422[H8735]. And they tookH8610[H8799] them: and ElijahH452 brought them downH3381[H8686] to the brookH5158 KishonH7028, and slewH7819 them thereH8799. |

| [41]And ElijahH452 saidH559[H8799] unto AhabH256, Get thee upH5927[H8798], eatH398[H8798] and drinkH8354[H8798]; for there is a soundH6963 of abundanceH1995 of rainH1653. |
[No book] |
| [42]So AhabH256 went upH5927[H8799] to eatH398[H8800] and to drinkH8354[H8800]. And ElijahH452 went upH5927[H8804] to the topH7218 of CarmelH3760; and he cast himself downH1457[H8799] upon the earthH776, and putH7760[H8799] his faceH6440 between his kneesH1290, |
[No book] |
| [43]And saidH559[H8799] to his servantH5288, Go upH5927[H8798] now, lookH5027[H8685] towardH1870 the seaH3220. And he went upH5927[H8799], and lookedH5027[H8686], and saidH559[H8799], There is nothingH3972. And he saidH559[H8799], Go againH7725[H8798] sevenH7651 timesH6471. |
[No book] |
| [44]And it came to pass at the seventh timeH7637, that he saidH559[H8799], Behold, there arisethH5927[H8802] a littleH6996 cloudH5645 out of the seaH3220, like a man'sH376 handH3709. And he saidH559[H8799], Go upH5927[H8798], sayH559[H8798] unto AhabH256, PrepareH631[H8798] thy chariot, and get thee downH3381[H8798], that the rainH1653 stopH6113 thee notH8799. |
