NETBible

Now the Lord energized Elijah with power;¹ he tucked his robe into his belt² and ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.

NET Notes

¹tn Heb “and the hand of the Lord was on Elijah.”

²tn Heb “and girded up his loins.” The idea is that of gathering up the robes and tucking them into the sash or belt so that they do not get in the way of the legs when running (or working or fighting).
