And it came to pass after days and of the lord came to Elijah in year saying, Go, and appear to Ahab! and I will put rain upon of the earth.
And Elijah went to appear Ahab, and there was famine in Samaria.
And Ahab called Obadiah the manager. And Obadiah was fearing the exceedingly.
And it came to pass when Jezebel struck the prophets of the lord, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and he hid them by fifty in two caves, and nourished them with bread and water.
And Ahab said to Obadiah, Come, and we should go through in the land unto the springs of the waters, and unto all the rushing streams, if perchance we should find pasturage, and we should preserve and mules, and shall not be destroyed
And they divided to themselves the way to go by it; Ahab went by way and Obadiah went by way alone.
And Obadiah was in the way alone, and behold, Elijah meet with him. And Obadiah hastened and fell upon his face, and he said, Are you he, O my master, Elijah?
And Elijah said to him, I am, Go, tell your master, Behold, Elijah!
And Obadiah said, How have I sinned that you appoint your servant into of Ahab to kill me?
As lives is there a nation or kingdom of which did not to seek you? And if they said, He is not here; then he adjured the kingdom and its places, for he did not find you.
And now you say, Go announce your master, Behold, Elijah!
And it will be if I should go forth from you, and a wind of the lord shall lift you into the land which I do not know, and I shall enter to report to Ahab, and he should not find you, then he will kill me. But your servant is fearing the from out of his youth.
Or was it not reported to you, O my master, what things I have done when Jezebel killed the prophets of the lord, that I took some of the prophets of the lord a hundred men, and I hid them in the caves by fifty, and I maintained them with bread loaves and water?
And now you say, Go, tell your master, Behold, Elijah! and he will kill me.
And Elijah said, As lives in which I stand before him, that today I will appear to him.
And Obadiah went to meet with Ahab, and he reported to him. And Ahab ran forth and went to meet with Elijah.
And it came to pass as Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to Elijah, Are you he turning aside Israel?
And Elijah said, I do not turn aside Israel, but you, and the house of your father, in your leaving the your God, and to go after the Baalim.
And now, send and gather together to me all Israel at mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the sacred groves four hundred, eating of Jezebel!
And Ahab sent into all Israel, and he assembled all the prophets to mount Carmel.
And Elijah came near to all the people, and he said to them, For how long will you be lame upon both your hams? If God, go after him! But if Baal, go after him! And answered not a word.
And Elijah said to the people, I am left a prophet and the prophets of Baal and fifty men.
Give then to us two oxen, and let them choose for themselves one, and let them dismember it, and place it upon the wood, and fire And I will do the same ox and fire
And you yell out in of your gods, and I will call upon the name of the lord my God. And it will be the God who ever heeds by fire, this And answered and said, is good which you have spoken.
And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose for yourselves the ox and prepare it first! for you and call in of your god, and fire
And they took the ox, and offered it, and they called in of Baal from morning until midday. And they said, Heed us, O Baal, heed us! And there was no sound, and there was no hearing a thing. And they ran upon the altar of which they made.
And it became midday, and sneered at and he said, Call with voice perhaps in meditation and at the same time perhaps executing business or perhaps he sleeps and shall rise up.
And they called out with voice and mutilated themselves according to their custom with knives and by spears, until poured out of them.
And they prophesied until of which time it went into the midday. And it came to pass as the time of the midday to ascend for the sacrifice and there was no sound, and there was no hearing.
And Elijah said to the people, Come forward to me! And came forward to him. And he repaired the altar, the one having been razed.
And Elijah took twelve stones, according to of the tribes of Israel, as to him, saying, Israel will be your name.
And he built the stones in of the lord, and he repaired the altar of the lord, the one having been razed. And he made a sea , having the space to hold two measures of seed, round about the altar.
And he put the kindling upon the altar which he made. And he dismembered the whole burnt-offering, and he put it upon the kindling, and he piled upon the altar. And Elijah said, Bring to me four pitchers and pour upon the whole burnt-offering, and upon the kindling!
And he said, Repeat it a second time! And they repeated it a second time. And he said, Do it a third time! And they did it a third time.
And went round about the altar, and the sea filled with water.
And as it was time of the offering the sacrifice, and came and said, O lord God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel, today let it be known to all this people! that you are God of Israel, and I am your servant, and through you I have done all these things.
Heed me, O lord, heed me! And let know that you are God! and you turned the heart of this people back.
And fell from from out of the heaven, and it devoured the whole burnt-offering, and the kindling, and the water in the sea, and the stones, and the dust was licked up by the fire.
And saw and fell upon their face. And they said, Truly, is God. he is God.
And Elijah said to the people, Seize the prophets of Baal, let not one escape And they seized them. And led them down unto the rushing stream Kishon, and slew them there.
And Elijah said to Ahab, Ascend, and eat, and drink! for of the noise of the rain.
And Ahab ascended to eat and to drink. And Elijah ascended unto Carmel, and bowed upon the ground, and put his face between his knees.
And he said his servant-lad, Ascend, and look of the sea! And ascended And he said, There is nothing. And Elijah said, Return seven times!
And it came to pass in the seventh time, and behold, cloud as of a man's foot came from And he said, Ascend and say to Ahab! Team up your chariot, and go down, lest should overtake
And it happened from here and here, and the heaven darkened with clouds and wind, and there became rain And Ahab rode horseback, and went unto Jezreel.
And of the lord came upon Elijah, and he fastened his loin, and he ran in front of Ahab unto Jezreel.
