1 Kings 18:1 (YLT) Young's Literal Translation

1 And the days are many, and the word of Jehovah hath been unto Elijah in the third year, saying, `Go, appear unto Ahab, and I give rain on the face of the ground;`
2 and Elijah goeth to appear unto Ahab. And the famine is severe in Samaria,
3 and Ahab calleth unto Obadiah, who is over the house -- and Obadiah hath been fearing Jehovah greatly,
4 and it cometh to pass, in Jezebel`s cutting off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah taketh a hundred prophets, and hideth them, fifty men in a cave, and hath sustained them with bread and water --
5 and Ahab saith unto Obadiah, `Go through the land, unto all fountains of waters, and unto all the brooks, if so be we find hay, and keep alive horse and mule, and do not cut off any of the cattle.`
6 And they apportion to themselves the land, to pass over into it; Ahab hath gone in one way by himself, and Obadiah hath gone in another way by himself;
7 and Obadiah is in the way, and lo, Elijah -- to meet him; and he discerneth him, and falleth on his face, and saith, `Art thou he -- my lord Elijah?`
8 And he saith to him, `I am; go, say to thy lord, Lo, Elijah.`
9 And he saith, `What have I sinned, that thou art giving thy servant into the hand of Ahab -- to put me to death?
10 Jehovah thy God liveth, if there is a nation and kingdom whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee; and they said, He is not, then he caused the kingdom and the nation to swear, that it doth not find thee;
11 and now, thou art saying, Go, say to thy lord, Lo, Elijah;
12 and it hath been, I go from thee, and the Spirit of Jehovah doth lift thee up, whither I know not, and I have come to declare to Ahab, and he doth not find thee, and he hath slain me; and thy servant is fearing Jehovah from my youth.
13 `Hath it not been declared to my lord that which I have done in Jezebel`s slaying the prophets of Jehovah, that I hide of the prophets of Jehovah a hundred men, fifty by fifty in a cave, and sustained them with bread and water?
14 and now thou art saying, Go, say to my lord, Lo, Elijah -- and he hath slain me!`
15 And Elijah saith, `Jehovah of Hosts liveth, before whom I have stood, surely to-day I appear unto him.`
16 And Obadiah goeth to meet Ahab, and declareth it to him, and Ahab goeth to meet Elijah,
17 and it cometh to pass at Ahab`s seeing Elijah, that Ahab saith unto him, `Art thou he -- the troubler of Israel?`
18 And he saith, `I have not troubled Israel, but thou and the house of thy father, in your forsaking the commands of Jehovah, and thou goest after the Baalim;
19 and now, send, gather unto me all Israel, unto the mount of Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the shrine, four hundred -- eating at the table of Jezebel.`
20 And Ahab sendeth among all the sons of Israel, and gathereth the prophets unto the mount of Carmel;
21 and Elijah cometh nigh unto all the people, and saith, `Till when are ye leaping on the two branches? -- if Jehovah is God, go after Him; and if Baal, go after him;` and the people have not answered him a word.
22 And Elijah saith unto the people, `I -- I have been left a prophet of Jehovah -- by myself; and the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men;
23 and let them give to us two bullocks, and they choose for themselves the one bullock, and cut it in pieces, and place it on the wood, and place no fire; and I -- I prepare the other bullock, and have put it on the wood, and fire I do not place; --
24 and ye have called in the name of your god, and I -- I call in the name of Jehovah, and it hath been, the god who answereth by fire -- He is the God.` And all the people answer and say, `Good is the word.`
25 And Elijah saith to the prophets of Baal, `Choose for you the one bullock, and prepare first, for ye are the multitude, and call ye in the name of your god, and place no fire.`
26 And they take the bullock that one gave to them, and prepare, and call in the name of Baal from the morning even till the noon, saying, `O Baal, answer us!` and there is no voice, and there is none answering; and they leap on the altar that one had made.
27 And it cometh to pass, at noon, that Elijah playeth on them, and saith, `Call with a loud voice, for he is a god, for he is meditating, or pursuing, or on a journey; it may be he is asleep, an doth awake.`
28 And they call with a loud voice, and cut themselves, according to their ordinance, with swords and with spears, till a flowing of blood is on them;
29 and it cometh to pass, at the passing by of the noon, that they feign themselves prophets till the going up of the present, and there is no voice, and there is none answering, and there is none attending.
30 And Elijah saith to all the people, `Come nigh unto me;` and all the people come nigh unto him, and he repaireth the altar of Jehovah that is broken down;
31 and Elijah taketh twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of Jehovah was, saying, `Israel is thy name;`
32 and he buildeth with the stones an altar, in the name of Jehovah, and maketh a trench, as about the space of two measures of seed, round about the altar.
33 And he arrangeth the wood, and cutteth in pieces the bullock, and placeth it on the wood, and saith, `Fill ye four pitchers of water, and pour on the burnt-offering, and on the wood;
34 and he saith, `Do it a second time;` and they do it a second time; and he saith, `Do it a third time;` and they do it a third time;
35 and the water goeth round about the altar, and also, the trench he hath filled with water.
36 And it cometh to pass, at the going up of the evening-present, that Elijah the prophet cometh nigh and saith, `Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to-day let it be known that Thou art God in Israel, and I Thy servant, that by Thy word I have done the whole of these things;
37 answer me, O Jehovah, answer me, and this people doth know that Thou art Jehovah God; and Thou hast turned their heart backward.`
38 And there falleth a fire of Jehovah, and consumeth the burnt-offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and the water that is in the trench it hath licked up.
39 And all the people see, and fall on their faces, and say, `Jehovah, He is the God, Jehovah, He is the God.`
40 And Elijah saith to them, `Catch ye the prophets of Baal; let not a man escape of them;` and they catch them, and Elijah bringeth them down unto the stream Kishon, and doth slaughter them there.
41 And Elijah saith to Ahab, `Go up, eat and drink, because of the sound of the noise of the shower.`
42 And Ahab goeth up to eat, and to drink, and Elijah hath gone up unto the top of Carmel, and he stretcheth himself out on the earth, and he placeth his face between his knees,
43 and saith unto his young man, `Go up, I pray thee, look attentively the way of the sea;` and he goeth up and looketh attentively, and saith, `There is nothing;` and he saith, `Turn back,` seven times.
44 And it cometh to pass, at the seventh, that he saith, `Lo, a little thickness as the palm of a man is coming up out of the sea.` And he saith, `Go up, say unto Ahab, `Bind -- and go down, and the shower doth not restrain thee.`
45 And it cometh to pass, in the meantime, that the heavens have become black -- thick clouds and wind -- and the shower is great; and Ahab rideth, and goeth to Jezreel,
46 and the hand of Jehovah hath been on Elijah, and he girdeth up his loins, and runneth before Ahab, till thine entering Jezreel.
1 And it came to pass H1961 after many H7227 days, H3117 that the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to H413 Elijah H452 in the third H7992 year, H8141 saying, H559 Go, H1980 show thyself H7200 unto H413 Ahab; H256 and I will send H5414 rain H4306 upon H5921 H6440 the earth. H127
2 And Elijah H452 went H1980 to show himself H7200 unto H413 Ahab. H256 And there was a sore H2389 famine H7458 in Samaria. H8111
3 And Ahab H256 called H7121 H413 Obadiah, H5662 which H834 was the governor H5921 of his house. H1004 (Now Obadiah H5662 feared H1961 H3372 H853 the LORD H3068 greatly: H3966
4 For it was H1961 so , when Jezebel H348 cut off H3772 H853 the prophets H5030 of the LORD, H3068 that Obadiah H5662 took H3947 a hundred H3967 prophets, H5030 and hid H2244 them by fifty H2572 H376 in a cave, H4631 and fed H3557 them with bread H3899 and water. H4325 )
5 And Ahab H256 said H559 unto H413 Obadiah, H5662 Go H1980 into the land, H776 unto H413 all H3605 fountains H4599 of water, H4325 and unto H413 all H3605 brooks: H5158 peradventure H194 we may find H4672 grass H2682 to save the horses and mules alive H2421 H5483, H6505 that we lose H3772 not H3808 all the beasts H4480. H929
6 So they divided H2505 H853 the land H776 between them to pass H5674 throughout it: Ahab H256 went H1980 one H259 way H1870 by himself, H905 and Obadiah H5662 went H1980 another H259 way H1870 by himself. H905
7 And as Obadiah H5662 was H1961 in the way, H1870 behold, H2009 Elijah H452 met H7122 him : and he knew H5234 him , and fell H5307 on H5921 his face, H6440 and said, H559 Art thou H859 that H2088 my lord H113 Elijah H452 ?
8 And he answered H559 him, I H589 am : go, H1980 tell H559 thy lord, H113 Behold, H2009 Elijah H452 is here .
9 And he said, H559 What H4100 have I sinned, H2398 that H3588 thou H859 wouldest deliver H5414 H853 thy servant H5650 into the hand H3027 of Ahab, H256 to slay H4191 me?
10 As the LORD H3068 thy God H430 liveth, H2416 there is H3426 no H518 nation H1471 or kingdom, H4467 whither H834 H8033 my lord H113 hath not H3808 sent H7971 to seek H1245 thee : and when they said, H559 He is not H369 there ; he took an oath H7650 of H853 the kingdom H4467 and nation, H1471 that H3588 they found H4672 thee not. H3808
11 And now H6258 thou H859 sayest, H559 Go, H1980 tell H559 thy lord, H113 Behold, H2009 Elijah H452 is here .
12 And it shall come to pass, H1961 as soon as I H589 am gone H1980 from H4480 H854 thee , that the Spirit H7307 of the LORD H3068 shall carry H5375 thee whither H5921 H834 I know H3045 not; H3808 and so when I come H935 and tell H5046 Ahab, H256 and he cannot H3808 find H4672 thee , he shall slay H2026 me : but I thy servant H5650 fear H3372 H853 the LORD H3068 from my youth H4480 H5271 .
13 Was it not H3808 told H5046 my lord what H834 I did H6213 when Jezebel H348 slew the prophets H5030 of the LORD, H3068 how I hid H2244 a hundred H3967 men H376 of the LORD's prophets H4480 H5030 H3068 by fifty H2572 H2572 H376 in a cave, H4631 and fed H3557 them with bread H3899 and water H4325 ?
14 And now H6258 thou H859 sayest, H559 Go, H1980 tell H559 thy lord, H113 Behold, H2009 Elijah H452 is here : and he shall slay H2026 me.
15 And Elijah H452 said, H559 As the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 liveth, H2416 before H6440 whom H834 I stand, H5975 I will surely H3588 show myself H7200 unto H413 him today. H3117
16 So Obadiah H5662 went H1980 to meet H7122 Ahab, H256 and told H5046 him : and Ahab H256 went H1980 to meet H7122 Elijah. H452
17 And it came to pass, H1961 when Ahab H256 saw H7200 H853 Elijah, H452 that Ahab H256 said H559 unto H413 him, Art thou H859 he that H2088 troubleth H5916 Israel H3478 ?
18 And he answered, H559 I have not H3808 troubled H5916 H853 Israel; H3478 but H3588 H518 thou, H859 and thy father's H1 house, H1004 in that ye have forsaken H5800 H853 the commandments H4687 of the LORD, H3068 and thou hast followed H1980 H310 Baalim. H1168
19 Now H6258 therefore send, H7971 and gather H6908 to H413 me H853 all H3605 Israel H3478 unto H413 mount H2022 Carmel, H3760 and the prophets H5030 of Baal H1168 four H702 hundred H3967 and fifty, H2572 and the prophets H5030 of the groves H842 four H702 hundred, H3967 which eat H398 at Jezebel's H348 table. H7979
20 So Ahab H256 sent H7971 unto all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 and gathered the prophets together H6908 H853 H5030 unto H413 mount H2022 Carmel. H3760
21 And Elijah H452 came H5066 unto H413 all H3605 the people, H5971 and said, H559 How long H5704 H4970 halt H6452 ye H859 between H5921 two H8147 opinions H5587 ? if H518 the LORD H3068 be God, H430 follow H1980 H310 him : but if H518 Baal, H1168 then follow H1980 H310 him . And the people H5971 answered H6030 him not H3808 a word. H1697
22 Then said H559 Elijah H452 unto H413 the people, H5971 I, H589 even I only, H905 remain H3498 a prophet H5030 of the LORD; H3068 but Baal's H1168 prophets H5030 are four H702 hundred H3967 and fifty H2572 men. H376
23 Let them therefore give H5414 us two H8147 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 wood, H6086 and put H7760 no H3808 fire H784 under : and I H589 will dress H6213 H853 the other H259 bullock, H6499 and lay H5414 it on H5921 wood, H6086 and put H7760 no H3808 fire H784 under :
24 And call H7121 ye on the name H8034 of your gods, H430 and I H589 will call H7121 on the name H8034 of the LORD: H3068 and the God H430 that H834 answereth H6030 by fire, H784 let him H1931 be H1961 God. H430 And all H3605 the people H5971 answered H6030 and said, H559 It is well H2896 spoken. H1697
25 And Elijah H452 said H559 unto the prophets H5030 of Baal, H1168 Choose H977 you one H259 bullock H6499 for yourselves , and dress H6213 it first; H7223 for H3588 ye H859 are many; H7227 and call H7121 on the name H8034 of your gods, H430 but put H7760 no H3808 fire H784 under .
26 And they took H3947 H853 the bullock H6499 which H834 was given H5414 them , and they dressed H6213 it , and called H7121 on the name H8034 of Baal H1168 from morning H4480 H1242 even until H5704 noon, H6672 saying, H559 O Baal, H1168 hear H6030 us . But there was no H369 voice, H6963 nor H369 any that answered. H6030 And they leaped H6452 upon H5921 the altar H4196 which H834 was made. H6213
27 And it came to pass H1961 at noon, H6672 that Elijah H452 mocked H2048 them , and said, H559 Cry H7121 aloud H6963 H1419 : for H3588 he H1931 is a god; H430 either H3588 he is talking, H7879 or H3588 he is pursuing, H7873 or H3588 he is in a journey, H1870 or peradventure H194 he H1931 sleepeth, H3463 and must be awaked. H3364
28 And they cried H7121 aloud H6963 H1419 , and cut themselves H1413 after their manner H4941 with knives H2719 and lancets, H7420 till H5704 the blood H1818 gushed out H8210 upon H5921 them.
29 And it came to pass, H1961 when midday H6672 was past, H5674 and they prophesied H5012 until H5704 the time of the offering H5927 of the evening sacrifice, H4503 that there was neither H369 voice, H6963 nor H369 any to answer, H6030 nor H369 any that regarded. H7182
30 And Elijah H452 said H559 unto all H3605 the people, H5971 Come near H5066 unto H413 me . And all H3605 the people H5971 came near H5066 unto H413 him . And he repaired H7495 H853 the altar H4196 of the LORD H3068 that was broken down. H2040
31 And Elijah H452 took H3947 twelve H8147 H6240 stones, H68 according to the number H4557 of the tribes H7626 of the sons H1121 of Jacob, H3290 unto H413 whom H834 the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came, H1961 saying, H559 Israel H3478 shall be H1961 thy name: H8034
32 And with H854 the stones H68 he built H1129 an altar H4196 in the name H8034 of the LORD: H3068 and he made H6213 a trench H8585 about H5439 the altar, H4196 as great as would contain H1004 two measures H5429 of seed. H2233
33 And he put H6186 H853 the wood H6086 in order , and cut H5408 H853 the bullock H6499 in pieces , and laid H7760 him on H5921 the wood, H6086 and said, H559 Fill H4390 four H702 barrels H3537 with water, H4325 and pour H3332 it on H5921 the burnt sacrifice, H5930 and on H5921 the wood. H6086
34 And he said, H559 Do it the second time. H8138 And they did it the second time. H8138 And he said, H559 Do it the third time. H8027 And they did it the third time. H8027
35 And the water H4325 ran H1980 round about H5439 the altar; H4196 and he filled H4390 H853 the trench H8585 also H1571 with water. H4325
36 And it came to pass H1961 at the time of the offering H5927 of the evening sacrifice, H4503 that Elijah H452 the prophet H5030 came near, H5066 and said, H559 LORD H3068 God H430 of Abraham, H85 Isaac, H3327 and of Israel, H3478 let it be known H3045 this day H3117 that H3588 thou H859 art God H430 in Israel, H3478 and that I H589 am thy servant, H5650 and that I have done H6213 H853 all H3605 these H428 things H1697 at thy word. H1697
37 Hear H6030 me , O LORD, H3068 hear H6030 me , that this H2088 people H5971 may know H3045 that H3588 thou H859 art the LORD H3068 God, H430 and that thou H859 hast turned H5437 H853 their heart H3820 back again. H322
38 Then the fire H784 of the LORD H3068 fell, H5307 and consumed H398 H853 the burnt sacrifice, H5930 and the wood, H6086 and the stones, H68 and the dust, H6083 and licked up H3897 the water H4325 that H834 was in the trench. H8585
39 And when all H3605 the people H5971 saw H7200 it , they fell H5307 on H5921 their faces: H6440 and they said, H559 The LORD, H3068 he H1931 is the God; H430 the LORD, H3068 he H1931 is the God. H430
40 And Elijah H452 said H559 unto them, Take H8610 H853 the prophets H5030 of Baal; H1168 let not H408 one H376 of them H4480 escape. H4422 And they took H8610 them : and Elijah H452 brought them down H3381 to H413 the brook H5158 Kishon, H7028 and slew H7819 them there. H8033
41 And Elijah H452 said H559 unto Ahab, H256 Get thee up, H5927 eat H398 and drink; H8354 for H3588 there is a sound H6963 of abundance H1995 of rain. H1653
42 So Ahab H256 went up H5927 to eat H398 and to drink. H8354 And Elijah H452 went up H5927 to H413 the top H7218 of Carmel; H3760 and he cast himself down H1457 upon the earth, H776 and put H7760 his face H6440 between H996 his knees, H1290
43 And said H559 to H413 his servant, H5288 Go up H5927 now, H4994 look H5027 toward H1870 the sea. H3220 And he went up, H5927 and looked, H5027 and said, H559 There is nothing H369 H3972 . And he said, H559 Go again H7725 seven H7651 times. H6471
44 And it came to pass H1961 at the seventh time, H7637 that he said, H559 Behold, H2009 there ariseth H5927 a little H6996 cloud H5645 out of the sea H4480 H3220 , like a man's H376 hand. H3709 And he said, H559 Go up, H5927 say H559 unto H413 Ahab, H256 Prepare H631 thy chariot , and get thee down, H3381 that the rain H1653 stop H6113 thee not. H3808
45 And it came to pass H1961 in the meanwhile H5704 H3541 H5704 H3541 , that the heaven H8064 was black H6937 with clouds H5645 and wind, H7307 and there was H1961 a great H1419 rain. H1653 And Ahab H256 rode, H7392 and went H1980 to Jezreel. H3157
46 And the hand H3027 of the LORD H3068 was H1961 on H413 Elijah; H452 and he girded up H8151 his loins, H4975 and ran H7323 before H6440 Ahab H256 to H5704 the entrance H935 of Jezreel. H3157
