And Elijah [0452] the Tishbite [08664], who was of the inhabitants [08453] of Gilead [01568], said [0559] unto Ahab [0256], As the Lord [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478] liveth [02416], before [06440] whom I stand [05975], there shall not be dew [02919] nor rain [04306] these years [08141], but according [06310] to my word [01697].Elijah: Heb. Elijahu: Gr. Elias
And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto her, Fear [03372] not; go [0935] and do [06213] as thou hast said [01697]: but make [06213] me thereof [08033] a little [06996] cake [05692] first [07223], and bring [03318] it unto me, and after [0314] make [06213] for thee and for thy son [01121].
And she went [03212] and did [06213] according to the saying [01697] of Elijah [0452]: and she, and he, and her house [01004], did eat [0398] many days [03117].many…: or, a full year
And the barrel [03537] of meal [07058] wasted [03615] not, neither did the cruse [06835] of oil [08081] fail [02638], according to the word [01697] of the Lord [03068], which he spake [01696] by [03027] Elijah [0452].by: Heb. by the hand of
And she said [0559] unto Elijah [0452], What have I to do with thee, O thou man [0376] of God [0430]? art thou come [0935] unto me to call [02142] my sin [05771] to remembrance [02142], and to slay [04191] my son [01121]?
And the Lord [03068] heard [08085] the voice [06963] of Elijah [0452]; and the soul [05315] of the child [03206] came [07725] into him [07130] again [07725], and he revived [02421].
And Elijah [0452] took [03947] the child [03206], and brought him down [03381] out of the chamber [05944] into the house [01004], and delivered [05414] him unto his mother [0517]: and Elijah [0452] said [0559], See [07200], thy son [01121] liveth [02416].
And the woman [0802] said [0559] to Elijah [0452], Now by this [02088] I know [03045] that thou art a man [0376] of God [0430], and that the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] in thy mouth [06310] is truth [0571].
And it came to pass after many [07227] days [03117], that the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came to Elijah [0452] in the third [07992] year [08141], saying [0559], Go [03212], shew [07200] thyself unto Ahab [0256]; and I will send [05414] rain [04306] upon [06440] the earth [0127].
And Elijah [0452] went [03212] to shew [07200] himself unto Ahab [0256]. And there was a sore [02389] famine [07458] in Samaria [08111].
And as Obadiah [05662] was in the way [01870], behold, Elijah [0452] met [07125] him: and he knew [05234] him, and fell [05307] on his face [06440], and said [0559], Art thou that my lord [0113] Elijah [0452]?
And he answered [0559] him, I am: go [03212], tell [0559] thy lord [0113], Behold, Elijah [0452] is here.
And now thou sayest [0559], Go [03212], tell [0559] thy lord [0113], Behold, Elijah [0452] is here.
And now thou sayest [0559], Go [03212], tell [0559] thy lord [0113], Behold, Elijah [0452] is here: and he shall slay [02026] me.
And Elijah [0452] said [0559], As the Lord [03068] of hosts [06635] liveth [02416], before [06440] whom I stand [05975], I will surely shew [07200] myself unto him to day [03117].
So Obadiah [05662] went [03212] to meet [07125] Ahab [0256], and told [05046] him: and Ahab [0256] went [03212] to meet [07125] Elijah [0452].
And it came to pass, when Ahab [0256] saw [07200] Elijah [0452], that Ahab [0256] said [0559] unto him, Art thou he that troubleth [05916] Israel [03478]?
And Elijah [0452] came [05066] unto all the people [05971], and said [0559], How long [05921] halt [06452] ye between two [08147] opinions [05587]? if the Lord [03068] be God [0430], follow him: but if Baal [01168], then follow [0310] [03212] him. And the people [05971] answered [06030] him not a word [01697].opinions: or, thoughts
Then said [0559] Elijah [0452] unto the people [05971], I, even I only, remain [03498] a prophet [05030] of the Lord [03068]; but Baal's [01168] prophets [05030] are four [0702] hundred [03967] and fifty [02572] men [0376].
And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto the prophets [05030] of Baal [01168], Choose [0977] you one [0259] bullock [06499] for yourselves, and dress [06213] it first [07223]; for ye are many [07227]; and call [07121] on the name [08034] of your gods [0430], but put [07760] no fire [0784] under.
And it came to pass at noon [06672], that Elijah [0452] mocked [02048] them, and said [0559], Cry [07121] aloud [06963] [01419]: for he is a god [0430]; either he is talking [07879], or he is pursuing [07873], or he is in a journey [01870], or peradventure [0194] he sleepeth [03463], and must be awaked [03364].aloud: Heb. with a great voicehe is talking: or, he meditatethis pursuing: Heb. hath a pursuit
And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto all the people [05971], Come near [05066] unto me. And all the people [05971] came near [05066] unto him. And he repaired [07495] the altar [04196] of the Lord [03068] that was broken down [02040].
And Elijah [0452] took [03947] twelve [06240] [08147] stones [068], according to the number [04557] of the tribes [07626] of the sons [01121] of Jacob [03290], unto whom the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came, saying [0559], Israel [03478] shall be thy name [08034]:
And it came to pass at the time of the offering [05927] of the evening sacrifice [04503], that Elijah [0452] the prophet [05030] came near [05066], and said [0559], Lord [03068] God [0430] of Abraham [085], Isaac [03327], and of Israel [03478], let it be known [03045] this day [03117] that thou art God [0430] in Israel [03478], and that I am thy servant [05650], and that I have done [06213] all these things at thy word [01697].
And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto them, Take [08610] the prophets [05030] of Baal [01168]; let not one [0376] of them escape [04422]. And they took [08610] them: and Elijah [0452] brought them down [03381] to the brook [05158] Kishon [07028], and slew [07819] them there.Take: or, Apprehend
And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto Ahab [0256], Get thee up [05927], eat [0398] and drink [08354]; for there is a sound [06963] of abundance [01995] of rain [01653].a sound…: or, a sound of a noise of rain
So Ahab [0256] went up [05927] to eat [0398] and to drink [08354]. And Elijah [0452] went up [05927] to the top [07218] of Carmel [03760]; and he cast himself down [01457] upon the earth [0776], and put [07760] his face [06440] between his knees [01290],
And the hand [03027] of the Lord [03068] was on Elijah [0452]; and he girded up [08151] his loins [04975], and ran [07323] before [06440] Ahab [0256] to the entrance [0935] of Jezreel [03157].to the…: Heb. till thou come to Jezreel
And Ahab [0256] told [05046] Jezebel [0348] all that Elijah [0452] had done [06213], and withal how he had slain [02026] all the prophets [05030] with the sword [02719].
Then Jezebel [0348] sent [07971] a messenger [04397] unto Elijah [0452], saying [0559], So let the gods [0430] do [06213] to me, and more [03254] also, if I make [07760] not thy life [05315] as the life [05315] of one [0259] of them by to morrow [04279] about this time [06256].
And he came [0935] thither unto a cave [04631], and lodged [03885] there; and, behold, the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came to him, and he said [0559] unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah [0452]?
And it was so, when Elijah [0452] heard [08085] it, that he wrapped [03874] his face [06440] in his mantle [0155], and went out [03318], and stood [05975] in the entering in [06607] of the cave [04631]. And, behold, there came a voice [06963] unto him, and said [0559], What doest thou here, Elijah [0452]?
So he departed [03212] thence, and found [04672] Elisha [0477] the son [01121] of Shaphat [08202], who was plowing [02790] with twelve [06240] [08147] yoke [06776] of oxen before [06440] him, and he with the twelfth [06240] [08147]: and Elijah [0452] passed [05674] by him, and cast [07993] his mantle [0155] upon him.
And he left [05800] the oxen [01241], and ran [07323] after [0310] Elijah [0452], and said [0559], Let me, I pray thee, kiss [05401] my father [01] and my mother [0517], and then I will follow [0310] [03212] thee. And he said [0559] unto him, Go back [03212] again [07725]: for what have I done [06213] to thee?Go…: Heb. Go return
And he returned back [07725] from him [0310], and took [03947] a yoke [06776] of oxen [01241], and slew [02076] them, and boiled [01310] their flesh [01320] with the instruments [03627] of the oxen [01241], and gave [05414] unto the people [05971], and they did eat [0398]. Then he arose [06965], and went [03212] after [0310] Elijah [0452], and ministered [08334] unto him.
And the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came to Elijah [0452] the Tishbite [08664], saying [0559],
And Ahab [0256] said [0559] to Elijah [0452], Hast thou found [04672] me, O mine enemy [0341]? And he answered [0559], I have found [04672] thee: because thou hast sold [04376] thyself to work [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the Lord [03068].
And the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came to Elijah [0452] the Tishbite [08664], saying [0559],
But the angel [04397] of the Lord [03068] said [01696] to Elijah [0452] the Tishbite [08664], Arise [06965], go up [05927] to meet [07125] the messengers [04397] of the king [04428] of Samaria [08111], and say [01696] unto them, Is it not because there is not a God [0430] in Israel [03478], that ye go [01980] to enquire [01875] of Baal–zebub [01176] the god [0430] of Ekron [06138]?
Now therefore thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], Thou shalt not come down [03381] from that bed [04296] on which thou art gone up [05927], but shalt surely [04191] die [04191]. And Elijah [0452] departed [03212].Thou shalt…: Heb. The bed whither thou art gone up, thou shalt not come down from it
And they answered [0559] him, He was an hairy [08181] man [0376] [01167], and girt [0247] with a girdle [0232] of leather [05785] about his loins [04975]. And he said [0559], It is Elijah [0452] the Tishbite [08664].
And Elijah [0452] answered [06030] and said [01696] to the captain [08269] of fifty [02572], If I be a man [0376] of God [0430], then let fire [0784] come down [03381] from heaven [08064], and consume [0398] thee and thy fifty [02572]. And there came down [03381] fire [0784] from heaven [08064], and consumed [0398] him and his fifty [02572].
And Elijah [0452] answered [06030] and said [01696] unto them, If I be a man [0376] of God [0430], let fire [0784] come down [03381] from heaven [08064], and consume [0398] thee and thy fifty [02572]. And the fire [0784] of God [0430] came down [03381] from heaven [08064], and consumed [0398] him and his fifty [02572].
And he sent [07971] again [07725] a captain [08269] of the third [07992] fifty [02572] with his fifty [02572]. And the third [07992] captain [08269] of fifty [02572] went up [05927], and came [0935] and fell [03766] on his knees [01290] before [05048] Elijah [0452], and besought [02603] him, and said [01696] unto him, O man [0376] of God [0430], I pray thee, let my life [05315], and the life [05315] of these fifty [02572] thy servants [05650], be precious [03365] in thy sight [05869].fell: Heb. bowed
And the angel [04397] of the Lord [03068] said [01696] unto Elijah [0452], Go down [03381] with him: be not afraid [03372] of him [06440]. And he arose [06965], and went down [03381] with him unto the king [04428].
So he died [04191] according to the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] which Elijah [0452] had spoken [01696]. And Jehoram [03088] reigned [04427] in his stead in the second [08147] year [08141] of Jehoram [03088] the son [01121] of Jehoshaphat [03092] king [04428] of Judah [03063]; because he had no son [01121].
And it came to pass, when the Lord [03068] would take up [05927] Elijah [0452] into heaven [08064] by a whirlwind [05591], that Elijah [0452] went [03212] with Elisha [0477] from Gilgal [01537].
And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto Elisha [0477], Tarry [03427] here, I pray thee; for the Lord [03068] hath sent [07971] me to Beth–el [01008]. And Elisha [0477] said [0559] unto him, As the Lord [03068] liveth [02416], and as thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], I will not leave [05800] thee. So they went down [03381] to Beth–el [01008].
And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto him, Elisha [0477], tarry [03427] here, I pray thee; for the Lord [03068] hath sent [07971] me to Jericho [03405]. And he said [0559], As the Lord [03068] liveth [02416], and as thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], I will not leave [05800] thee. So they came [0935] to Jericho [03405].
And Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto him, Tarry [03427], I pray thee, here; for the Lord [03068] hath sent [07971] me to Jordan [03383]. And he said [0559], As the Lord [03068] liveth [02416], and as thy soul [05315] liveth [02416], I will not leave [05800] thee. And they two [08147] went on [03212].
And Elijah [0452] took [03947] his mantle [0155], and wrapped it together [01563], and smote [05221] the waters [04325], and they were divided [02673] hither and thither, so that they two [08147] went over [05674] on dry [02724] ground.
And it came to pass, when they were gone over [05674], that Elijah [0452] said [0559] unto Elisha [0477], Ask [07592] what I shall do [06213] for thee, before I be taken away [03947] from thee. And Elisha [0477] said [0559], I pray thee, let a double [08147] portion [06310] of thy spirit [07307] be upon me.
And it came to pass, as they still [01980] went on [01980], and talked [01696], that, behold, there appeared a chariot [07393] of fire [0784], and horses [05483] of fire [0784], and parted [06504] them both [08147] asunder [0996]; and Elijah [0452] went up [05927] by a whirlwind [05591] into heaven [08064].
He took up [07311] also the mantle [0155] of Elijah [0452] that fell [05307] from him, and went back [07725], and stood [05975] by the bank [08193] of Jordan [03383];bank: Heb. lip
And he took [03947] the mantle [0155] of Elijah [0452] that fell [05307] from him, and smote [05221] the waters [04325], and said [0559], Where is the Lord [03068] God [0430] of Elijah [0452]? and when he also had smitten [05221] the waters [04325], they parted [02673] hither and thither: and Elisha [0477] went over [05674].
And when the sons [01121] of the prophets [05030] which were to view at Jericho [03405] saw [07200] him, they said [0559], The spirit [07307] of Elijah [0452] doth rest [05117] on Elisha [0477]. And they came [0935] to meet [07125] him, and bowed [07812] themselves to the ground [0776] before him.
But Jehoshaphat [03092] said [0559], Is there not here a prophet [05030] of the Lord [03068], that we may enquire [01875] of the Lord [03068] by him? And one [0259] of the king [04428] of Israel's [03478] servants [05650] answered [06030] and said [0559], Here is Elisha [0477] the son [01121] of Shaphat [08202], which poured [03332] water [04325] on the hands [03027] of Elijah [0452].
Wherefore they came again [07725], and told [05046] him. And he said [0559], This is the word [01697] of the Lord [03068], which he spake [01696] by [03027] his servant [05650] Elijah [0452] the Tishbite [08664], saying [0559], In the portion [02506] of Jezreel [03157] shall dogs [03611] eat [0398] the flesh [01320] of Jezebel [0348]:by: Heb. by the hand of
Know [03045] now [0645] that there shall fall [05307] unto the earth [0776] nothing of the word [01697] of the Lord [03068], which the Lord [03068] spake [01696] concerning the house [01004] of Ahab [0256]: for the Lord [03068] hath done [06213] that which he spake [01696] by [03027] his servant [05650] Elijah [0452].by: Heb. by the hand of
And when he came [0935] to Samaria [08111], he slew [05221] all that remained [07604] unto Ahab [0256] in Samaria [08111], till he had destroyed [08045] him, according to the saying [01697] of the Lord [03068], which he spake [01696] to Elijah [0452].
And Jaresiah [03298], and Eliah [0452], and Zichri [02147], the sons [01121] of Jeroham [03395].
And there came [0935] a writing [04385] to him from Elijah [0452] the prophet [05030], saying [0559], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068] God [0430] of David [01732] thy father [01], Because thou hast not walked [01980] in the ways [01870] of Jehoshaphat [03092] thy father [01], nor in the ways [01870] of Asa [0609] king [04428] of Judah [03063],
And of the sons [01121] of Harim [02766]; Maaseiah [04641], and Elijah [0452], and Shemaiah [08098], and Jehiel [03171], and Uzziah [05818].
And of the sons [01121] of Elam [05867]; Mattaniah [04983], Zechariah [02148], and Jehiel [03171], and Abdi [05660], and Jeremoth [03406], and Eliah [0452].
Behold, I will send [07971] you Elijah [0452] the prophet [05030] before [06440] the coming [0935] of the great [01419] and dreadful [03372] day [03117] of the Lord [03068]:
