Bible. Kings, 1st
11:018:038 Then the fire of the LORD fell, and consumed the burnt
sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and
licked up the water that was in the trench.
11:018:039 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and
they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God.
11:018:040 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not
one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought
them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.
11:018:041 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for
there is a sound of abundance of rain.
11:018:042 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the
top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and
put his face between his knees,
11:018:043 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And
he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he
said, Go again seven times.
11:018:044 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold,
there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's
hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot,
and get thee down that the rain stop thee not.
11:018:045 And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was
black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And
Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.
11:018:046 And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his
loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
11:019:001 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how
he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
11:019:002 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the
gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the
life of one of them by to morrow about this time.
11:019:003 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and
came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his
servant there.
11:019:004 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and
came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for
himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O
LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
11:019:005 And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an
angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
11:019:006 And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the
coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and
drink, and laid him down again.
11:019:007 And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and
touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is
too great for thee.
