1 Kings 18:31 (KJV) King James Version

1 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 governor 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, nor any to answer, nor 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 heart 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.
1 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS after many H7227 AMP days H3117 NMP , that the word H1697 W-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS came H1961 VQQ3MS to H413 PREP Elijah H452 in the third H7992 D-MFS year H8141 , saying H559 L-VQFC , Go H1980 VQI2MS , show thyself H7200 unto H413 PREP Ahab H256 ; and I will send H5414 rain H4306 NMS upon H5921 PREP the earth H127 D-NFS .
2 And Elijah H452 went H1980 W-VQY3MS to show himself H7200 unto H413 PREP Ahab H256 . And there was a sore H2389 AMS famine H7458 in Samaria H8111 .
3 And Ahab H256 called H7121 W-VQY3MS Obadiah H5662 , which H834 RPRO was the governor H5921 PREP of his house H1004 . (Now Obadiah H5662 feared H1961 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS greatly H3966 ADV :
4 For it was H1961 W-VQY3MS so , when Jezebel H348 cut off H3772 the prophets H5030 of the LORD H3068 EDS , that Obadiah H5662 took H3947 W-VQY3MS a hundred H3967 MFS prophets H5030 , and hid H2244 them by fifty H2572 MMP in a cave H4631 , and fed H3557 them with bread H3899 NMS and water H4325 . )
5 And Ahab H256 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Obadiah H5662 , Go H1980 VQI2MS into the land H776 B-NFS , unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS fountains H4599 of water H4325 D-CMS , and unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS brooks H5158 : peradventure H194 ADV we may find H4672 VNQ3MS grass H2682 NMS to save the horses and mules alive H2421 , that we lose H3772 not H3808 all the beasts H929 .
6 So they divided H2505 the land H776 D-GFS between them to pass H5674 throughout it : Ahab H256 went H1980 VQQ3MS one H259 MMS way H1870 B-NMS by himself H905 L-CMS-3MS , and Obadiah H5662 went H1980 VQQ3MS another H259 MMS way H1870 B-NMS by himself H905 .
7 And as Obadiah H5662 was H1961 W-VQY3MS in the way H1870 , behold H2009 IJEC , Elijah H452 met H7122 him : and he knew H5234 him , and fell H5307 W-VQY3MS on H5921 PREP his face H6440 CMP-3MS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Art thou H859 that H2088 DPRO my lord H113 Elijah H452 ?
8 And he answered H559 W-VQY3MS him , I H589 PPRO-1MS am : go H1980 VQI2MS , tell H559 W-VQY3MS thy lord H113 , Behold H2009 IJEC , Elijah H452 is here .
9 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , What H4100 IPRO have I sinned H2398 VQQ1MS , that H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS wouldest deliver H5414 VQPMS thy servant H5650 into the hand H3027 B-CFS of Ahab H256 , to slay H4191 me ?
10 As the LORD H3068 EDS thy God H430 CMP-2MS liveth H2416 AMS , there is H3426 ADV no H518 PART nation H1471 NMS or kingdom H4467 , whither H834 RPRO my lord H113 hath not H3808 ADV sent H7971 VQQ3MS to seek H1245 thee : and when they said H559 W-VQQ3MP , He is not H369 there ; he took an oath H7650 of the kingdom H4467 and nation H1471 , that H3588 CONJ they found H4672 thee not H3808 NADV .
11 And now H6258 W-ADV thou H859 PPRO-2MS sayest H559 , Go H1980 VQI2MS , tell H559 thy lord H113 , Behold H2009 IJEC , Elijah H452 is here .
12 And it shall come to pass H1961 W-VQQ3MS , as soon as I H589 PPRO-1MS am gone H1980 VQY1MS from thee , that the Spirit H7307 W-GFS of the LORD H3068 EDS shall carry H5375 thee whither H834 RPRO I know H3045 not H3808 ADV ; and so when I come H935 and tell H5046 L-VHFC Ahab H256 , and he cannot H3808 W-NADV find H4672 thee , he shall slay H2026 me : but I thy servant H5650 fear H3372 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS from my youth H5271 .
13 Was it not H3808 I-NPAR told H5046 my lord H113 what H834 RPRO I did H6213 VQQ1MS when Jezebel H348 slew H2026 the prophets H5030 of the LORD H3068 EDS , how I hid H2244 a hundred H3967 MFS men H376 NMS of the LORD\'s prophets H5030 by fifty H2572 MMP in a cave H4631 , and fed H3557 them with bread H3899 NMS and water H4325 ?
14 And now H6258 W-ADV thou H859 PPRO-2MS sayest H559 , Go H1980 VQI2MS , tell H559 thy lord H113 , Behold H2009 IJEC , Elijah H452 is here : and he shall slay H2026 me .
15 And Elijah H452 said H559 W-VQY3MS , As the LORD H3068 EDS of hosts H6635 liveth H2416 AMS , before H6440 L-CMP-3MS whom H834 RPRO I stand H5975 VQQ1MS , I will surely H3588 CONJ show myself H7200 unto H413 him today H3117 D-AMS .
16 So Obadiah H5662 went H1980 W-VQY3MS to meet H7122 Ahab H256 , and told H5046 him : and Ahab H256 went H1980 W-VQY3MS to meet H7122 Elijah H452 .
17 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when Ahab H256 saw H7200 K-VQFC Elijah H452 , that Ahab H256 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP-3MS him , Art thou H859 he that H2088 DPRO troubleth H5916 Israel H3478 LMS ?
18 And he answered H559 W-VQY3MS , I have not H3808 NADV troubled H5916 Israel H3478 ; but H518 PART thou H859 PPRO-2MS , and thy father H1 NMS \'s house H1004 W-NMS , in that ye have forsaken H5800 the commandments H4687 of the LORD H3068 EDS , and thou hast followed H1980 W-VQQ3FS Baalim H1168 .
19 Now H6258 W-ADV therefore send H7971 , and gather H6908 to H413 PREP me all H3605 NMS Israel H3478 unto H413 PREP mount H2022 CMS Carmel H3760 , and the prophets H5030 of Baal H1168 four H702 MFS hundred H3967 BFP and fifty H2572 W-MMP , and the prophets H5030 of the groves H842 four H702 MFS hundred H3967 BFP , which eat H398 at Jezebel H348 \'s table H7979 .
20 So Ahab H256 sent H7971 W-VQY3MS unto all H3605 B-CMS the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , and gathered the prophets together H6908 unto H413 PREP mount H2022 CMS Carmel H3760 .
21 And Elijah H452 came H5066 unto H413 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , How long H5704 PREP halt H6452 ye H859 PPRO-2MS between H5921 PREP two H8147 ONUM opinions H5587 ? if H518 PART the LORD H3068 EDS be God H430 D-NAME-4MP , follow H1980 VQI2MP him : but if H518 PART Baal H1168 , then follow H1980 VQI2MP him . And the people H5971 answered H6030 VQQ3MP him not H3808 W-NPAR a word H1697 .
22 Then said H559 W-VQY3MS Elijah H452 unto H413 PREP the people H5971 , I H589 PPRO-1MS , even I only H905 L-CMS-1MS , remain H3498 a prophet H5030 of the LORD H3068 L-EDS ; but Baal H1168 \'s prophets H5030 are four H702 MFS hundred H3967 BFP and fifty H2572 W-MMP men H376 NMS .
23 Let them therefore give H5414 us two H8147 ONUM bullocks H6499 ; and let them choose H977 one H259 bullock H6499 for themselves , and cut it in pieces H5408 , and lay H7760 it on H5921 PREP wood H6086 , and put H7760 VQY3MP no H3808 NADV fire H784 W-NMS under : and I H589 W-PPRO-1MS will dress H6213 the other H259 bullock H6499 , and lay H5414 it on H5921 PREP wood H6086 , and put H7760 no H3808 NADV fire H784 W-NMS under :
24 And call H7121 ye on the name H8034 B-CMS of your gods H430 , and I H589 will call H7121 on the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 EDS : and the God H430 D-EDP that H834 RPRO answereth H6030 VQY3MS by fire H784 , let him H1931 PPRO-3MS be H1961 W-VQQ3MS God H430 D-EDP . And all H3605 NMS the people H5971 answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MP , It is well H2896 AMS spoken H1697 .
25 And Elijah H452 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto the prophets H5030 of Baal H1168 , Choose H977 you one H259 D-AMS bullock H6499 for yourselves , and dress H6213 it first H7223 ; for H3588 CONJ ye H859 PPRO-2MS are many H7227 ; and call H7121 on the name H8034 B-CMS of your gods H430 , but put H7760 no H3808 NADV fire H784 W-NMS under .
26 And they took H3947 W-VQY3MP the bullock H6499 which H834 RPRO was given H5414 VQQ3MS them , and they dressed H6213 W-EMS it , and called H7121 W-VQY3MP on the name H8034 of Baal H1168 from morning H1242 even until H5704 W-PREP noon H6672 , saying H559 L-VQFC , O Baal H1168 , hear H6030 us . But there was no H369 W-NPAR voice H6963 CMS , nor H369 W-NPAR any that answered H6030 . And they leaped H6452 upon H5921 PREP the altar H4196 D-NMS which H834 RPRO was made H6213 VQQ3MS .
27 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS at noon H6672 , that Elijah H452 mocked H2048 them , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , Cry H7121 aloud H6963 : for H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS is a god H430 EDP ; either H3588 CONJ he is talking H7879 , or H3588 CONJ he is pursuing H7873 , or H3588 CONJ he is in a journey H1870 , or peradventure H194 ADV he H1931 PPRO-3MS sleepeth H3463 , and must be awaked H3364 .
28 And they cried H7121 aloud H6963 B-NMS , and cut themselves H1413 after their manner H4941 with knives H2719 and lancets H7420 , till H5704 PREP the blood H1818 NMS gushed out H8210 upon H5921 PREP-3MP them .
29 And it came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS , when midday H6672 was past H5674 , and they prophesied H5012 until H5704 PREP the time of the offering H5927 L-VQFC of the evening sacrifice H4503 , that there was neither H369 W-ADV voice H6963 CMS , nor H369 W-NPAR any to answer H6030 , nor H369 W-NPAR any that regarded H7182 .
30 And Elijah H452 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto all H3605 L-CMS the people H5971 , Come near H5066 unto H413 PREP-1MS me . And all H3605 CMS the people H5971 came near H5066 unto H413 PREP-3MS him . And he repaired H7495 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 EDS that was broken down H2040 .
31 And Elijah H452 took H3947 W-VQY3MS twelve H8147 MFS stones H68 NFP , according to the number H4557 of the tribes H7626 of the sons H1121 of Jacob H3290 , unto H413 PREP-3MS whom H834 RPRO the word H1697 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS came H1961 VQQ3MS , saying H559 L-VQFC , Israel H3478 shall be H1961 VQY3MS thy name H8034 :
32 And with H854 PREP the stones H68 he built H1129 an altar H4196 NMS in the name H8034 B-CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS : and he made H6213 W-VQY3MS a trench H8585 NFS about H5439 ADV the altar H4196 , as great as would contain H1004 two measures H5429 of seed H2233 NMS .
33 And he put H6186 the wood H6086 in order , and cut H5408 the bullock H6499 in pieces , and laid H7760 W-VQY3MS him on H5921 PREP the wood H6086 , and said H559 , Fill H4390 four H702 barrels H3537 with water H4325 , and pour H3332 it on H5921 PREP the burnt sacrifice H5930 , and on H5921 PREP the wood H6086 .
34 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Do it the second time H8138 . And they did it the second time H8138 . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Do it the third time H8027 . And they did it the third time H8027 .
35 And the water H4325 D-CMS ran H1980 W-VQY3MP round about H5439 ADV the altar H4196 ; and he filled H4390 VPQ3MS the trench H8585 also H1571 W-CONJ with water H4325 D-CMS .
36 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS at the time of the offering H5927 B-CFP of the evening sacrifice H4503 , that Elijah H452 the prophet H5030 came near H5066 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , LORD H3068 EDS God H430 NAME-4MP of Abraham H85 , Isaac H3327 , and of Israel H3478 , let it be known H3045 this day H3117 D-AMS that H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS art God H430 EDP in Israel H3478 , and that I H589 W-PPRO-1MS am thy servant H5650 , and that I have done H6213 VQQ1MS all H3605 NMS these H428 things H1697 at thy word H1697 AMP .
37 Hear H6030 me , O LORD H3068 EDS , hear H6030 me , that this H2088 D-PMS people H5971 may know H3045 that H3588 CONJ thou H859 PPRO-2MS art the LORD H3068 EDS God H430 D-EDP , and that thou H859 PPRO-2FS hast turned H5437 their heart H3820 CMS-3MP back again H322 .
38 Then the fire H784 CMS of the LORD H3068 EDS fell H5307 W-VQY3FS , and consumed H398 W-VQY3FS the burnt sacrifice H5930 , and the wood H6086 , and the stones H68 , and the dust H6083 , and licked up H3897 the water H4325 D-CMS that H834 RPRO was in the trench H8585 .
39 And when all H3605 NMS the people H5971 saw H7200 W-VIY3MS it , they fell H5307 W-VQY3MP on H5921 PREP their faces H6440 CMP-3MP : and they said H559 W-VQY3MP , The LORD H3068 EDS , he H1931 PPRO-3MS is the God H430 D-EDP ; the LORD H3068 EDS , he H1931 PPRO-3MS is the God H430 .
40 And Elijah H452 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto them , Take H8610 the prophets H5030 of Baal H1168 ; let not H408 NPAR one H376 NMS of them H4480 escape H4422 . And they took H8610 them : and Elijah H452 brought them down H3381 to H413 PREP the brook H5158 NMS Kishon H7028 , and slew H7819 them there H8033 ADV .
41 And Elijah H452 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto Ahab H256 , Get thee up H5927 , eat H398 and drink H8354 ; for H3588 CONJ there is a sound H6963 CMS of abundance H1995 of rain H1653 .
42 So Ahab H256 went up H5927 to eat H398 L-VQFC and to drink H8354 WL-VQFC . And Elijah H452 went up H5927 to H413 PREP the top H7218 NMS of Carmel H3760 ; and he cast himself down H1457 upon the earth H776 NFS-3FS , and put H7760 W-VQY3MS his face H6440 CMP-3MS between H996 PREP his knees H1290 ,
43 And said H559 W-VQY3MS to H413 PREP his servant H5288 , Go up H5927 now H4994 IJEC , look H5027 VHI2MS toward H1870 the sea H3220 NMS . And he went up H5927 W-VHY3MS , and looked H5027 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , There is nothing H369 NPAR . And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Go again H7725 seven H7651 MFS times H6471 .
44 And it came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS at the seventh time H7637 , that he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Behold H2009 IJEC , there ariseth H5927 a little H6996 cloud H5645 NCS out of the sea H3220 M-NMS , like a man H376 NMS \'s hand H3709 .
