1 Kings 18:1-23

18:1

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> (8800)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

shew
<07200> (8734)

thyself unto Ahab
<0256>_;

and I will send
<05414> (8799)

rain
<04306>

upon
<06440>

the earth
<0127>_.

18:2

And Elijah
<0452>

went
<03212> (8799)

to shew
<07200> (8736)

himself unto Ahab
<0256>_.

And [there was] a sore
<02389>

famine
<07458>

in Samaria
<08111>_.

18:3

And Ahab
<0256>

called
<07121> (8799)

Obadiah
<05662>_,

which [was] the governor of [his] house
<01004>_.

(Now Obadiah
<05662>

feared
<03373>

the LORD
<03068>

greatly
<03966>_:

{Obadiah: Heb. Obadiahu} {the governor...: Heb. over his house}

18:4

For it was [so], when Jezebel
<0348>

cut off
<03772> (8687)

the prophets
<05030>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

that Obadiah
<05662>

took
<03947> (8799)

an hundred
<03967>

prophets
<05030>_,

and hid
<02244> (8686)

them by fifty
<0376> <02572>

in a cave
<04631>_,

and fed
<03557> (8773)

them with bread
<03899>

and water
<04325>.)

{Jezebel: Heb. Izebel}

18:5

And Ahab
<0256>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Obadiah
<05662>_,

Go
<03212> (8798)

into the land
<0776>_,

unto all fountains
<04599>

of water
<04325>_,

and unto all brooks
<05158>_:

peradventure
<0194>

we may find
<04672> (8799)

grass
<02682>

to save
<02421> (8762)

the horses
<05483>

and mules
<06505>

alive
<02421> (8762)_,

that we lose
<03772> (8686)

not all the beasts
<0929>_.

{that...: Heb. that we cut not off ourselves from the beasts}

18:6

So they divided
<02505> (8762)

the land
<0776>

between them to pass throughout
<05674> (8800)

it: Ahab
<0256>

went
<01980> (8804)

one
<0259>

way
<01870>

by himself, and Obadiah
<05662>

went
<01980> (8804)

another
<0259>

way
<01870>

by himself.

18:7

And as Obadiah
<05662>

was in the way
<01870>_,

behold, Elijah
<0452>

met
<07125> (8800)

him: and he knew
<05234> (8686)

him, and fell
<05307> (8799)

on his face
<06440>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[Art] thou that my lord
<0113>

Elijah
<0452>_?

18:8

And he answered
<0559> (8799)

him, I [am]: go
<03212> (8798)_,

tell
<0559> (8798)

thy lord
<0113>_,

Behold, Elijah
<0452>

[is here].

18:9

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

What have I sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

that thou wouldest deliver
<05414> (8802)

thy servant
<05650>

into the hand
<03027>

of Ahab
<0256>_,

to slay
<04191> (8687)

me?

18:10

[As] the LORD
<03068>

thy God
<0430>

liveth
<02416>_,

there is no
<03426>

nation
<01471>

or kingdom
<04467>_,

whither
<0834>

my lord
<0113>

hath not sent
<07971> (8804)

to seek
<01245> (8763)

thee: and when they said
<0559> (8804)_,

[He is] not [there]; he took an oath
<07650> (8689)

of the kingdom
<04467>

and nation
<01471>_,

that they found
<04672> (8799)

thee not.

18:11

And now thou sayest
<0559> (8802)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

tell
<0559> (8798)

thy lord
<0113>_,

Behold, Elijah
<0452>

[is here].

18:12

And it shall come to pass, [as soon as] I am gone
<03212> (8799)

from thee, that the Spirit
<07307>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall carry
<05375> (8799)

thee whither I know
<03045> (8799)

not; and [so] when I come
<0935> (8804)

and tell
<05046> (8687)

Ahab
<0256>_,

and he cannot find
<04672> (8799)

thee, he shall slay
<02026> (8804)

me: but I thy servant
<05650>

fear
<03372> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

from my youth
<05271>_.

18:13

Was it not told
<05046> (8717)

my lord
<0113>

what I did
<06213> (8804)

when Jezebel
<0348>

slew
<02026> (8800)

the prophets
<05030>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

how I hid
<02244> (8686)

an hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>

of the LORD'S
<03068>

prophets
<05030>

by fifty
<02572>

in a cave
<04631>_,

and fed
<03557> (8770)

them with bread
<03899>

and water
<04325>_?

18:14

And now thou sayest
<0559> (8802)_,

Go
<03212> (8798)_,

tell
<0559> (8798)

thy lord
<0113>_,

Behold, Elijah
<0452>

[is here]: and he shall slay
<02026> (8804)

me.

18:15

And Elijah
<0452>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

of hosts
<06635>

liveth
<02416>_,

before
<06440>

whom I stand
<05975> (8804)_,

I will surely shew
<07200> (8735)

myself unto him to day
<03117>_.

18:16

So Obadiah
<05662>

went
<03212> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

Ahab
<0256>_,

and told
<05046> (8686)

him: and Ahab
<0256>

went
<03212> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

Elijah
<0452>_.

18:17

And it came to pass, when Ahab
<0256>

saw
<07200> (8800)

Elijah
<0452>_,

that Ahab
<0256>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Art] thou he that troubleth
<05916> (8802)

Israel
<03478>_?

18:18

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

I have not troubled
<05916> (8804)

Israel
<03478>_;

but thou, and thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

in that ye have forsaken
<05800> (8800)

the commandments
<04687>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and thou hast followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>

Baalim
<01168>_.

18:19

Now therefore send
<07971> (8798)_,

[and] gather
<06908> (8798)

to me all Israel
<03478>

unto mount
<02022>

Carmel
<03760>_,

and the prophets
<05030>

of Baal
<01168>

four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

and fifty
<02572>_,

and the prophets
<05030>

of the groves
<0842>

four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>_,

which eat
<0398> (8802)

at Jezebel's
<0348>

table
<07979>_.

18:20

So Ahab
<0256>

sent
<07971> (8799)

unto all the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and gathered
<06908> (0)

the prophets
<05030>

together
<06908> (8799)

unto mount
<02022>

Carmel
<03760>_.

18:21

And Elijah
<0452>

came
<05066> (8799)

unto all the people
<05971>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

How long
<05921>

halt
<06452> (8802)

ye between two
<08147>

opinions
<05587>_?

if the LORD
<03068>

[be] God
<0430>_,

follow him: but if Baal
<01168>_,

[then] follow
<03212> (8798) <0310>

him. And the people
<05971>

answered
<06030> (8804)

him not a word
<01697>_.

{opinions: or, thoughts}

18:22

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Elijah
<0452>

unto the people
<05971>_,

I, [even] I only, remain
<03498> (8738)

a prophet
<05030>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

but Baal's
<01168>

prophets
<05030>

[are] four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

and fifty
<02572>

men
<0376>_.

18:23

Let them therefore give
<05414> (8799)

us two
<08147>

bullocks
<06499>_;

and let them choose
<0977> (8799)

one
<0259>

bullock
<06499>

for themselves, and cut it in pieces
<05408> (8762)_,

and lay
<07760> (8799)

[it] on wood
<06086>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

no fire
<0784>

[under]: and I will dress
<06213> (8799)

the other
<0259>

bullock
<06499>_,

and lay
<05414> (8804)

[it] on wood
<06086>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

no fire
<0784>

[under]:
