1 Kings 18:31-46

18:31

And Elijah
<0452>

took
<03947> (8799)

twelve
<08147> <06240>

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> (8800)_,

Israel
<03478>

shall be thy name
<08034>_:

18:32

And with the stones
<068>

he built
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

in the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

and he made
<06213> (8799)

a trench
<08585>

about
<05439>

the altar
<04196>_,

as great as would contain
<01004>

two measures
<05429>

of seed
<02233>_.

18:33

And he put
<06186> (0)

the wood
<06086>

in order
<06186> (8799)_,

and cut
<05408> (8762)

the bullock
<06499>

in pieces, and laid
<07760> (8799)

[him] on the wood
<06086>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Fill
<04390> (8798)

four
<0702>

barrels
<03537>

with water
<04325>_,

and pour
<03332> (8798)

[it] on the burnt sacrifice
<05930>_,

and on the wood
<06086>_.

18:34

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Do [it] the second time
<08138> (8798)_.

And they did [it] the second time
<08138> (8799)_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Do [it] the third time
<08027> (8761)_.

And they did [it] the third time
<08027> (8762)_.

18:35

And the water
<04325>

ran
<03212> (8799)

round about
<05439>

the altar
<04196>_;

and he filled
<04390> (8765)

the trench
<08585>

also with water
<04325>_.

{ran: Heb. went}

18:36

And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering
<05927> (8800)

of the [evening] sacrifice
<04503>_,

that Elijah
<0452>

the prophet
<05030>

came near
<05066> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Abraham
<085>_,

Isaac
<03327>_,

and of Israel
<03478>_,

let it be known
<03045> (8735)

this day
<03117>

that thou [art] God
<0430>

in Israel
<03478>_,

and [that] I [am] thy servant
<05650>_,

and [that] I have done
<06213> (8804)

all these things at thy word
<01697>_.

18:37

Hear
<06030> (8798)

me, O LORD
<03068>_,

hear
<06030> (8798)

me, that this people
<05971>

may know
<03045> (8799)

that thou [art] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>_,

and [that] thou hast turned
<05437> (0)

their heart
<03820>

back
<05437> (8689)

again
<0322>_.

18:38

Then the fire
<0784>

of the LORD
<03068>

fell
<05307> (8799)_,

and consumed
<0398> (8799)

the burnt sacrifice
<05930>_,

and the wood
<06086>_,

and the stones
<068>_,

and the dust
<06083>_,

and licked up
<03897> (8765)

the water
<04325>

that [was] in the trench
<08585>_.

18:39

And when all the people
<05971>

saw
<07200> (8799)

[it], they fell
<05307> (8799)

on their faces
<06440>_:

and they said
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>_,

he [is] the God
<0430>_;

the LORD
<03068>_,

he [is] the God
<0430>_.

18:40

And Elijah
<0452>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Take
<08610> (8798)

the prophets
<05030>

of Baal
<01168>_;

let not one
<0376>

of them escape
<04422> (8735)_.

And they took
<08610> (8799)

them: and Elijah
<0452>

brought them down
<03381> (8686)

to the brook
<05158>

Kishon
<07028>_,

and slew
<07819> (8799)

them there. {Take: or, Apprehend}

18:41

And Elijah
<0452>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Ahab
<0256>_,

Get thee up
<05927> (8798)_,

eat
<0398> (8798)

and drink
<08354> (8798)_;

for [there is] a sound
<06963>

of abundance
<01995>

of rain
<01653>_.

{a sound...: or, a sound of a noise of rain}

18:42

So Ahab
<0256>

went up
<05927> (8799)

to eat
<0398> (8800)

and to drink
<08354> (8800)_.

And Elijah
<0452>

went up
<05927> (8804)

to the top
<07218>

of Carmel
<03760>_;

and he cast himself down
<01457> (8799)

upon the earth
<0776>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

his face
<06440>

between his knees
<01290>_,

18:43

And said
<0559> (8799)

to his servant
<05288>_,

Go up
<05927> (8798)

now, look
<05027> (8685)

toward
<01870>

the sea
<03220>_.

And he went up
<05927> (8799)_,

and looked
<05027> (8686)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[There is] nothing
<03972>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go again
<07725> (8798)

seven
<07651>

times
<06471>_.

18:44

And it came to pass at the seventh time
<07637>_,

that he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, there ariseth
<05927> (8802)

a little
<06996>

cloud
<05645>

out of the sea
<03220>_,

like a man's
<0376>

hand
<03709>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Go up
<05927> (8798)_,

say
<0559> (8798)

unto Ahab
<0256>_,

Prepare
<0631> (8798)

[thy chariot], and get thee down
<03381> (8798)_,

that the rain
<01653>

stop
<06113> (8799)

thee not. {Prepare: Heb. Tie, or, Bind}

18:45

And it came to pass in the mean while
<03541>_,

that the heaven
<08064>

was black
<06937> (8694)

with clouds
<05645>

and wind
<07307>_,

and there was a great
<01419>

rain
<01653>_.

And Ahab
<0256>

rode
<07392> (8799)_,

and went
<03212> (8799)

to Jezreel
<03157>_.

18:46

And the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

was on Elijah
<0452>_;

and he girded up
<08151> (8762)

his loins
<04975>_,

and ran
<07323> (8799)

before
<06440>

Ahab
<0256>

to the entrance
<0935> (8800)

of Jezreel
<03157>_.

{to the...: Heb. till thou come to Jezreel}
