whom the word of the L
ORD
came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:
32
And with the stones he built
an altar in the name of the L
ORD
: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain
two measures of seed.
33
And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid
him
on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour
it
on the burnt sacrifice, and on the
wood.
34
And he said, Do
it
the second time. And they did
it
the second time. And he said, Do
it
the third time. And they did
it
the third time.
35
And the water ran round about the altar; and he
filled the trench also with water.
36
And it came to pass at
the time of
the offering of the
evening
sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, L
ORD
God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel,
let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and
that
I
am
thy servant, and
that
I have done
all these things at thy word.
37
Hear me, O L
ORD
, hear me, that this people may know that thou
art
the L
ORD
God, and
that
thou hast turned their heart back again.
38
Then the fire of the L
ORD
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.
39
And when all the people saw
it,
they fell on their faces: and they
said, The L
ORD
, he
is
the God; the L
ORD
, he
is
the God.
40
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.
41
And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for
there is
a sound of abundance of
rain.
42
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,
43
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.
44
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.
45
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.
46
And the hand of the L
ORD
was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran
before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
CHAPTER KINGS 19
And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with
the sword.
2
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.
3
And when he
saw
that,
he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which
belongeth
to Judah, and
left his servant there.
4
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 L
ORD
, take away
my life; for I
am
not better than my fathers.
5
And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold,
