V.1 And it came to pass [after] many 7227 days, 3117 that the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came to Elijah 452 in the third 7992 year, 8141 saying, 559-2 Go, 3212-3 shew 7200-10 thyself unto Ahab; 256 and I will send 5414-4 rain 4306 upon 6440 the earth. 127

18:2 And Elijah 452 went 3212-4 to shew 7200-9 himself unto Ahab. 256 And [there was] a sore 2389 famine 7458 in Samaria. 8111

18:3 And Ahab 256 called 7121-4 Obadiah, 5662 which [was] the governor of [his] house. 1004 (Now Obadiah 5662 feared 3373 the LORD 3068 greatly: 3966

18:4 For it was [so], when Jezebel 348 cut off 3772-53 the prophets 5030 of the LORD, 3068 that Obadiah 5662 took 3947-4 an hundred 3967 prophets, 5030 and hid 2244-55 them by fifty 376 2572 in a cave, 4631 and fed 3557-43 them with bread 3899 and water.) 4325

18:5 And Ahab 256 said 559-4 unto Obadiah, 5662 Go 3212-3 into the land, 776 unto all fountains 4599 of water, 4325 and unto all brooks: 5158 peradventure 194 we may find 4672-4 grass 2682 to save the horses 5483 and mules 6505 alive, 2421-17 that we lose 3772-55 not all the beasts. 929

18:6 So they divided 2505-17 the land 776 between them to pass 5674-2 throughout it: Ahab 256 went 1980-1 one 259 way 1870 by himself, and Obadiah 5662 went 1980-1 another 259 way 1870 by himself.

18:7 And as Obadiah 5662 was in the way, 1870 behold, Elijah 452 met 7125-2 him: and he knew 5234-55 him, and fell 5307-4 on his face, 6440 and said, 559-4 [Art] thou that my lord 113 Elijah? 452

18:8 And he answered 559-4 him, I [am]: go, 3212-3 tell 559-3 thy lord, 113 Behold, Elijah 452 [is here].

18:9 And he said, 559-4 What have I sinned, 2398-1 that thou wouldest deliver 5414-6 thy servant 5650 into the hand 3027 of Ahab, 256 to slay 4191-53 me?

18:10 [As] the LORD 3068 thy God 430 liveth, 2416 there is 3426 no nation 1471 or kingdom, 4467 whither 834 my lord 113 hath not sent 7971-1 to seek 1245-15 thee: and when they said, 559-1 [He is] not [there]; he took an oath 7650-52 of the kingdom 4467 and nation, 1471 that they found 4672-4 thee not.

18:11 And now thou sayest, 559-6 Go, 3212-3 tell 559-3 thy lord, 113 Behold, Elijah 452 [is here].

18:12 And it shall come to pass, [as soon as] I am gone 3212- 4 from thee, that the Spirit 7307 of the LORD 3068 shall carry 5375-4 thee whither I know 3045-4 not; and [so] when I come 935-1 and tell 5046-53 Ahab, 256 and he cannot find 4672-4 thee, he shall slay 2026-1 me: but I thy servant 5650 fear 3372-1 the LORD 3068 from my youth. 5271

18:13 Was it not told 5046-90 my lord 113 what I did 6213-1 when Jezebel 348 slew 2026-2 the prophets 5030 of the LORD, 3068 how I hid 2244-55 an hundred 3967 men 376 of the LORD'S 3068 prophets 5030 by fifty 2572 2572 376 in a cave, 4631 and fed 3557-46 them with bread 3899 and water? 4325

18:14 And now thou sayest, 559-6 Go, 3212-3 tell 559-3 thy lord, 113 Behold, Elijah 452 [is here]: and he shall slay 2026-1 me.

18:15 And Elijah 452 said, 559-4 [As] the LORD 3068 of hosts 6635 liveth, 2416 before 6440 whom I stand, 5975-1 I will surely shew 7200-11 myself unto him to day. 3117

18:16 So Obadiah 5662 went 3212-4 to meet 7125-2 Ahab, 256 and told 5046-55 him: and Ahab 256 went 3212-4 to meet 7125-2 Elijah. 452

18:17 And it came to pass, when Ahab 256 saw 7200-2 Elijah, 452 that Ahab 256 said 559-4 unto him, [Art] thou he that troubleth 5916-6 Israel? 3478

18:18 And he answered, 559-4 I have not troubled 5916-1 Israel; 3478 but thou, and thy father's 1 house, 1004 in that ye have forsaken 5800-2 the commandments 4687 of the LORD, 3068 and thou hast followed 3212-4 310 Baalim. 1168

18:19 Now therefore send, 7971-3 [and] gather 6908-3 to me all Israel 3478 unto mount 2022 Carmel, 3760 and the prophets 5030 of Baal 1168 four 702 hundred 3967 and fifty, 2572 and the prophets 5030 of the groves 842 four 702 hundred, 3967 which eat 398-6 at Jezebel's 348 table. 7979

18:20 So Ahab 256 sent 7971-4 unto all the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 and gathered the prophets 5030 together 6908-4 unto mount 2022 Carmel. 3760

18:21 And Elijah 452 came 5066-4 unto all the people, 5971 and said, 559-4 How long halt 6452-6 ye between 5921 two 8147 opinions? 5587 if the LORD 3068 [be] God, 430 follow 3212-3 310 him: but if Baal, 1168 [then] follow 3212-3 310 him. And the people 5971 answered 6030-1 him not a word. 1697

18:22 Then said 559-4 Elijah 452 unto the people, 5971 I, [even] I only, remain 3498-8 a prophet 5030 of the LORD; 3068 but Baal's 1168 prophets 5030 [are] four 702 hundred 3967 and fifty 2572 men. 376

18:23 Let them therefore give 5414-4 us two 8147 bullocks; 6499 and let them choose 977-4 one 259 bullock 6499 for themselves, and cut it in pieces, 5408-17 and lay 7760-4 [it] on wood, 6086 and put 7760-4 no fire 784 [under]: and I will dress 6213-4 the other 259 bullock, 6499 and lay 5414-1 [it] on wood, 6086 and put 7760-4 no fire 784 [under]:

18:24 And call 7121-1 ye on the name 8034 of your gods, 430 and I will call 7121-4 on the name 8034 of the LORD: 3068 and the God 430 that answereth 6030-4 by fire, 784 let him be God. 430 And all the people 5971 answered 6030-4 and said, 559-4 It is well 2896 spoken. 1697

18:25 And Elijah 452 said 559-4 unto the prophets 5030 of Baal, 1168 Choose 977-3 you one 259 bullock 6499 for yourselves, and dress 6213-3 [it] first; 7223 for ye [are] many; 7227 and call 7121-3 on the name 8034 of your gods, 430 but put 7760-4 no fire 784 [under].

18:26 And they took 3947-4 the bullock 6499 which was given 5414-1 them, and they dressed 6213-4 [it], and called 7121-4 on the name 8034 of Baal 1168 from morning 1242 even until noon, 6672 saying, 559-2 O Baal, 1168 hear 6030-3 us. But [there was] no 369 voice, 6963 nor any 369 that answered. 6030-6 And they leaped 6452-17 upon the altar 4196 which was made. 6213-1

18:27 And it came to pass at noon, 6672 that Elijah 452 mocked 2048-17 them, and said, 559-4 Cry 7121-3 aloud: 1419 6963 for he [is] a god; 430 either he is talking, 7879 or he is pursuing, 7873 or he is in a journey, 1870 [or] peradventure 194 he sleepeth, 3463 and must be awaked. 3364-4

18:28 And they cried 7121-4 aloud, 6963 1419 and cut 1413-108 themselves after their manner 4941 with knives 2719 and lancets, 7420 till the blood 1818 gushed out 8210-2 upon them.

18:29 And it came to pass, when midday 6672 was past, 5674-2 and they prophesied 5012-101 until the [time] of the offering 5927-2 of the [evening] sacrifice, 4503 that [there was] neither voice, 6963 nor any to answer, 6030-6 nor any that regarded. 7182

18:30 And Elijah 452 said 559-4 unto all the people, 5971 Come near 5066-3 unto me. And all the people 5971 came near 5066-4 unto him. And he repaired 7495-17 the altar 4196 of the LORD 3068 [that was] broken down. 2040-7

18:31 And Elijah 452 took 3947-4 twelve 8147 6240 stones, 68 according to the number 4557 of the tribes 7626 of the sons 1121 of Jacob, 3290 unto whom the word 1697 of the LORD 3068 came, saying, 559-2 Israel 3478 shall be thy name: 8034

18:32 And with the stones 68 he built 1129-4 an altar 4196 in the name 8034 of the LORD: 3068 and he made 6213-4 a trench 8585 about 5439 the altar, 4196 as great as would contain 1004 two measures 5429 of seed. 2233

18:33 And he put the wood 6086 in order, 6186-4 and cut the bullock 6499 in pieces, 5408-17 and laid 7760-4 [him] on the wood, 6086 and said, 559-4 Fill 4390-3 four 702 barrels 3537 with water, 4325 and pour 3332-3 [it] on the burnt sacrifice, 5930 and on the wood. 6086

18:34 And he said, 559-4 Do [it] the second time. 8138-3 And they did [it] the second time. 8138-4 And he said, 559-4 Do [it] the third time. 8027-16 And they did [it] the third time. 8027-17

18:35 And the water 4325 ran 3212-4 round about 5439 the altar; 4196 and he filled 4390-14 the trench 8585 also with water. 4325

18:36 And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering 5927- 2 of the [evening] sacrifice, 4503 that Elijah 452 the prophet 5030 came near, 5066-4 and said, 559-4 LORD 3068 God 430 of Abraham, 85 Isaac, 3327 and of Israel, 3478 let it be known 3045-11 this day 3117 that thou [art] God 430 in Israel, 3478 and [that] I [am] thy servant, 5650 and [that] I have done 6213-1 all these things 1697 at thy word. 1697

18:37 Hear 6030-3 me, O LORD, 3068 hear 6030-3 me, that this people 5971 may know 3045-4 that thou [art] the LORD 3068 God, 430 and [that] thou hast turned 5437-52 their heart 3820 back again. 322

18:38 Then the fire 784 of the LORD 3068 fell, 5307-4 and consumed 398-4 the burnt sacrifice, 5930 and the wood, 6086 and the stones, 68 and the dust, 6083 and licked up 3897-14 the water 4325 that [was] in the trench. 8585

18:39 And when all the people 5971 saw 7200-4 [it], they fell 5307-4 on their faces: 6440 and they said, 559-4 The LORD, 3068 he [is] the God; 430 the LORD, 3068 he [is] the God. 430

18:40 And Elijah 452 said 559-4 unto them, Take 8610-3 the prophets 5030 of Baal; 1168 let not one 376 of them escape. 4422-11 And they took 8610-4 them: and Elijah 452 brought them down 3381-55 to the brook 5158 Kishon, 7028 and slew 7819-4 them there.

18:41 And Elijah 452 said 559-4 unto Ahab, 256 Get thee up, 5927-3 eat 398-3 and drink; 8354-3 for [there is] a sound 6963 of abundance 1995 of rain. 1653

18:42 So Ahab 256 went up 5927-4 to eat 398-2 and to drink. 8354-2 And Elijah 452 went up 5927-1 to the top 7218 of Carmel; 3760 and he cast himself down 1457-4 upon the earth, 776 and put 7760-4 his face 6440 between his knees, 1290

18:43 And said 559-4 to his servant, 5288 Go up 5927-3 now, look 5027-54 toward 1870 the sea. 3220 And he went up, 5927-4 and looked, 5027-55 and said, 559-4 [There is] nothing. 369 3972 And he said, 559-4 Go again 7725-3 seven 7651 times. 6471

18:44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, 7637 that he said, 559-4 Behold, there ariseth 5927-6 a little 6996 cloud 5645 out of the sea, 3220 like a man's 376 hand. 3709 And he said, 559-4 Go up, 5927-3 say 559-3 unto Ahab, 256 Prepare 631-3 [thy chariot], and get thee down, 3381-3 that the rain 1653 stop 6113-4 thee not.

18:45 And it came to pass in the mean while, 3541 that the heaven 8064 was black 6937-98 with clouds 5645 and wind, 7307 and there was a great 1419 rain. 1653 And Ahab 256 rode, 7392-4 and went 3212-4 to Jezreel. 3157
