Chapter 18
And
it
came
to
passe
after
many
daies,
that
the
word
of
the
Lord
came
to
Eliiah
in
the
third
yeere,
saying,
Goe
shewe
thy
selfe
vnto
Ahab,
and
I
will
send
raine
vpon
the
earth.
2
And
Eliiah
went
to
shew
himselfe
vnto
Ahab,
and
there
was
a
sore
famine
in
Samaria.
3
And
Ahab
called
Obadiah
which
was
the
gouernour
of
his
house:
(now
Obadiah
feared
the
Lord
greatly:
4
For
it
was
so,
when
Iezebel
cut
off
the
Prophets
of
the
Lord,
that
Obadiah
tooke
an
hundred
Prophets,
and
hid
them
by
fiftie
in
a
caue,
and
fed
them
with
bread
and
water.)
5
And
Ahab
said
vnto
Obadiah,
Goe
into
the
land,
vnto
all
fountaines
of
water,
and
vnto
all
brookes:
peraduenture
we
may
finde
grasse
to
saue
the
horses
and
mules
aliue,
that
we
leese
not
all
the
beasts.
6
So
they
diuided
the
land
betweene
them
to
passe
throughout
it:
Ahab
went
one
way
by
himselfe,
and
Obadiah
went
another
way
by
himselfe.
7
And
as
Obadiah
was
in
the
way,
behold,
Eliiah
met
him:
and
hee
knew
him,
and
fell
on
his
face,
and
said;
Art
thou
that
my
lord
Eliiah?
8
And
he
answered
him,
I
am:
goe,
tell
thy
lord,
Behold,
Eliiah
is
here.
9
And
he
said,
What
haue
I
sinned,
that
thou
wouldest
deliuer
thy
seruant
into
the
hand
of
Ahab,
to
slay
mee?
10
As
the
Lord
thy
God
liueth,
there
is
no
nation
or
kingdome,
whither
my
lord
hath
not
sent
to
seeke
thee:
and
when
they
said,
He
is
not
there,
hee
tooke
an
oath
of
the
kingdome
and
nation,
that
they
found
thee
not.
11
And
now
thou
sayest,
Goe,
tell
thy
lord,
Behold,
Eliiah
is
here.
12
And
it
shall
come
to
passe,
as
soone
as
I
am
gone
from
thee,
that
the
spirit
of
the
Lord
shall
cary
thee
whither
I
know
not;
and
so
when
I
come
and
tell
Ahab,
and
he
cannot
finde
thee,
he
shall
slay
mee:
but
I
thy
seruant
feare
the
Lord
from
my
youth.
13
Was
it
not
told
my
lord,
what
I
did
when
Iezebel
slew
the
Prophets
of
the
Lord?
How
I
hid
an
hundred
men
of
the
Lords
Prophets,
by
fiftie
in
a
caue,
and
fedde
them
with
bread
and
water?
14
And
now
thou
sayest,
Goe,
tell
thy
lord,
Behold,
Eliiah
is
here:
and
hee
shall
slay
me.
15
And
Eliiah
said,
As
the
Lord
of
hostes
liueth,
before
whom
I
stand,
I
will
surely
shew
my
selfe
vnto
him
to
day.
16
So
Obadiah
went
to
meete
Ahab,
and
told
him:
and
Ahab
went
to
meete
Eliiah.
17
And
it
came
to
passe
when
Ahab
saw
Eliiah,
that
Ahab
saide
vnto
him,
Art
thou
hee
that
troubleth
Israel?
18
And
hee
answered,
I
haue
not
troubled
Israel,
but
thou
and
thy
fathers
house,
in
that
yee
haue
forsaken
the
Commandements
of
the
Lord,
and
thou
hast
followed
Baalim.
19
Now
therefore
send,
and
gather
to
mee
all
Israel
vnto
mount
Carmel,
and
the
prophets
of
Baal
foure
hundred
and
fiftie,
and
the
prophets
of
the
groues
foure
hundred,
which
eate
at
Iezebels
table.
20
So
Ahab
sent
vnto
all
the
children
of
Israel,
and
gathered
the
prophets
together
vnto
mount
Carmel.
21
And
Eliiah
came
vnto
all
the
people,
and
said,
how
long
halt
yee
betweene
two
opinions?
If
the
Lord
bee
God,
follow
him:
but
if
Baal,
then
follow
him:
and
the
people
answered
him
not
a
word.
22
Then
said
Eliiah
vnto
the
people,
I,
euen
I
onely
remaine
a
Prophet
of
the
Lord:
but
Baals
prophets
are
foure
hundred
and
fiftie
men.
23
Let
them
therefore
giue
vs
two
bullocks,
and
let
them
chuse
one
bullocke
for
themselues,
and
cut
it
in
pieces,
and
lay
it
on
wood,
and
put
no
fire
vnder:
and
I
will
dresse
the
other
bullocke,
and
lay
it
on
wood,
and
put
no
fire
vnder.
24
And
call
ye
on
the
name
of
your
gods,
and
I
will
call
on
the
Name
of
the
Lord:
and
the
God
that
answereth
by
fire,
let
him
be
God.
And
all
the
people
answered,
and
said,
It
is
well
spoken.
25
And
Eliiah
said
vnto
the
prophets
of
Baal,
Chuse
you
one
bullocke
for
your
selues,
and
dresse
it
first,
for
yee
are
many:
and
call
on
the
name
of
your
gods,
but
put
no
fire
vnder.
26
And
they
took
the
bullocke
which
was
giuen
them,
and
they
dressed
it,
and
called
on
the
name
of
Baal
from
morning,
euen
vntil
noone,
saying,
O
Baal,
heare
vs.
But
there
was
no
voyce,
nor
any
that
answered:
And
they
leapt
vpon
the
altar
which
was
made.
27
And
it
came
to
passe
at
noone,
that
Eliiah
mocked
them,
and
saide,
Crie
aloud:
for
he
is
a
god,
either
he
is
talking,
or
he
is
pursuing,
or
hee
is
in
a
iourney,
or
peraduenture
he
sleepeth,
and
must
be
awaked.
28
And
they
cried
loud,
and
cut
themselues
after
their
maner,
with
kniues,
and
lancers,
till
the
blood
gushed
out
vpon
them.
29
And
it
came
to
passe
when
midday
was
past,
and
they
prophesied
vntil
the
time
of
the
offering
of
the
euening
sacrifice;
that
there
was
neither
voice,
nor
any
to
answere,
nor
any
that
regarded.
30
And
Eliiah
said
vnto
all
the
people,
Come
neere
vnto
me.
And
all
the
people
came
neere
vnto
him.
And
he
repaired
the
Altar
of
the
Lord
that
was
broken
downe.
31
And
Eliiah
tooke
twelue
stones,
according
to
the
number
of
the
tribes
of
the
sonnes
of
Iacob,
vnto
whome
the
word
of
the
Lord
came,
saying,
Israel
shall
bee
thy
name.
32
And
with
the
stones
hee
built
an
altar
in
the
Name
of
the
Lord,
and
hee
made
a
trench
about
the
altar,
as
great
as
would
containe
two
measures
of
seed.
33
And
he
put
the
wood
in
order,
and
cut
the
bullocke
in
pieces,
and
laide
him
on
the
wood,
and
said,
Fill
foure
barrels
with
water,
and
powre
it
on
the
burnt
sacrifice,
and
on
the
wood.
34
And
hee
said,
Doe
it
the
second
time.
And
they
did
it
the
second
time.
And
he
said,
Doe
it
the
third
time.
And
they
did
it
the
third
time.
35
And
the
water
ran
round
about
the
altar,
and
hee
filled
the
trench
also
with
water.
36
And
it
came
to
passe
at
the
time
of
the
offering
of
the
euening
sacrifice,
that
Eliiah
the
prophet
came
neere
and
said,
Lord
God
of
Abraham,
Isaac,
and
of
Israel,
Let
it
bee
knowen
this
day
that
thou
art
God
in
Israel,
and
that
I
am
thy
seruant,
and
that
I
haue
done
all
these
things
at
thy
word.
37
Heare
me,
O
Lord,
heare
me,
that
this
people
may
know
that
thou
art
the
Lord
God,
and
that
thou
hast
turned
their
heart
backe
againe.
38
Then
the
fire
of
the
Lord
fell,
and
consumed
the
burnt
sacrifice,
and
the
wood,
and
the
stones,
and
the
dust,
and
licked
vp
the
water
that
was
in
the
trench.
39
And
when
all
the
people
sawe
it,
they
fell
on
their
faces:
and
they
saide,
The
Lord,
he
is
the
God,
the
Lord,
he
is
the
God.
40
And
Eliiah
saide
vnto
them,
Take
the
prophets
of
Baal,
let
not
one
of
them
escape:
And
they
tooke
them,
and
Eliiah
brought
them
downe
to
the
brooke
Kishon,
and
slewe
them
there.
41
And
Eliiah
said
vnto
Ahab,
Get
thee
vp,
eate
and
drinke,
for
there
is
a
sound
of
abundance
of
raine.
42
So
Ahab
went
vp
to
eate
and
to
drinke,
and
Eliiah
went
vp
to
the
top
of
Carmel,
and
he
cast
himselfe
downe
vpon
the
earth,
and
put
his
face
betweene
his
knees,
43
And
said
to
his
seruant,
Goe
vp
now,
looke
toward
the
Sea.
And
hee
went
vp,
and
looked,
and
saide,
There
is
nothing.
And
he
said,
Goe
againe
seuen
times.
44
And
it
came
to
passe
at
the
seuenth
time,
that
he
said,
Behold,
there
ariseth
a
little
cloud
out
of
the
Sea,
like
a
mans
hand.
And
he
said,
Goe
vp,
say
vnto
Ahab,
Prepare
thy
charet,
and
get
thee
downe,
that
the
raine
stop
thee
not.
45
And
it
came
to
passe
in
the
meane
while,
that
the
heauen
was
blacke
with
cloudes
and
winde,
and
there
was
a
great
raine:
and
Ahab
rode
and
went
to
Iezreel.
46
And
the
hand
of
the
Lord
was
on
Eliiah;
and
hee
girded
vp
his
loynes,
and
ranne
before
Ahab,
to
the
entrance
of
Iezreel.
