Context
18:40 Elijah told them, “Seize the prophets of Baal ! Don’t let even one of them escape !” So they seized them, and Elijah led them down to the Kishon Valley and executed them there .
18:41 Then Elijah told Ahab , “Go on up and eat and drink , for the sound of a heavy rainstorm can be heard.”
18:42 So Ahab went on up to eat and drink , while Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel . He bent down toward the ground and put his face between his knees .
18:43 He told his servant , “Go on up and look in the direction of the sea .” So he went on up , looked , and reported , “There is nothing .” Seven times Elijah sent him to look.
18:44 The seventh time the servant said , “Look , a small cloud , the size of the palm of a man’s hand , is rising up from the sea .” Elijah then said , “Go and tell Ahab , ‘Hitch up the chariots and go down , so that the rain won’t overtake you.’”
18:45 Meanwhile the sky was covered with dark clouds , the wind blew, and there was a heavy rainstorm . Ahab rode toward Jezreel .
18:46 Now the Lord energized Elijah with power; he tucked his robe into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel .
