And it came to pass [after] many
<07227>
<07227>
days
<03117>_,
<03117>_,
that the word

<0127>_.
And Elijah
<0452>
<0452>

(Now Obadiah

<03068>
greatly
<03966>_:
{Obadiah: Heb. Obadiahu} {the governor...: Heb. over his house}<03966>_:

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

<06996>
cloud
<05645>
<05645>
out of the sea

unto Ahab

<0256>_,
that the rain

And it came to pass in the mean while
<03541>_,
<03541>_,
that the heaven
<08064>
<08064>
with clouds
<05645>
<05645>
and wind
<07307>_,
<07307>_,
and there was a great
<01419>
<01419>
rain
<01653>_.
<01653>_.
And Ahab
<0256>
<0256>
to Jezreel

<03157>_.
And the hand
<03027>
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
<03068>
was on Elijah
<0452>_;
<0452>_;
his loins

<04975>_,
before

<06440>
Ahab

<0256>
of Jezreel

{to the...: Heb. till thou come to Jezreel}<03157>_.
And Ahab

<02719>_.
Then Jezebel
<0348>
<0348>
a messenger
<04397>
<04397>
unto Elijah
<0452>_,
<0452>_,
So let the gods

<01870>
<01870>
into the wilderness
<04057>_,
<04057>_,
under a
<0259>
<0259>
juniper tree
<07574>_:
<07574>_:
for himself
<05315>
<05315>
It is enough

<07227>_;
now, O LORD
<03068>_,
<03068>_,

{for himself: Heb. for his life}<01>_.
and, behold, [there was] a cake
