ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

1KI-18:1 And it came to pass [after] many days, that the word of

the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show

thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.

1KI-18:2 And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And [there

was] a sore famine in Samaria.

1KI-18:3 And Ahab called Obadiah, which [was] the governor of

[his] house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:

1KI-18:4 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.)

1KI-18:5 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.

1KI-18:6 So they divided the land between them to pass

throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went

another way by himself.

1KI-18:7 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?

1KI-18:8 And he answered him, I [am]: go, tell thy lord, Behold,

Elijah [is here].

1KI-18:9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest

deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?

1KI-18:10 [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.

1KI-18:11 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah

[is here].

1KI-18:12 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.

1KI-18:13 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?

1KI-18:14 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah

[is here]: and he shall slay me.

1KI-18:15 And Elijah said, [As] the LORD of hosts liveth, before

whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him to day.

1KI-18:16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab

went to meet Elijah.

1KI-18:17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab

said unto him, [Art] thou he that troubleth Israel?

1KI-18:18 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.

1KI-18:19 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.

1KI-18:20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and

gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.

1KI-18:21 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.

1KI-18:22 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.

1KI-18:23 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]:

1KI-18:24 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.

1KI-18:25 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].

1KI-18:26 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.

1KI-18:27 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.

1KI-18:28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their

manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon

them.

1KI-18:29 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.

1KI-18:30 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.

1KI-18:31 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:

1KI-18:32 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.

1KI-18:33 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.

1KI-18:34 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.

1KI-18:35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled

the trench also with water.

1KI-18:36 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.

1KI-18:37 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.

1KI-18:38 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.

1KI-18:39 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.

1KI-18:40 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.

1KI-18:41 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink;

for [there is] a sound of abundance of rain.

1KI-18:42 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,

1KI-18:43 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.

1KI-18:44 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.

1KI-18:45 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.

1KI-18:46 And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded

up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
