KJV

1  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ after many⁷²²⁷ days,³¹¹⁷ that the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came¹⁹⁶¹ to⁴¹³ Elijah⁴⁵² in the third⁷⁹⁹² year,⁸¹⁴¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Go,¹⁹⁸⁰ show thyself⁷²⁰⁰ unto⁴¹³ Ahab;²⁵⁶ and I will send⁵⁴¹⁴ rain⁴³⁰⁶ upon^{5921 6440} the earth.¹²⁷

2  And Elijah⁴⁵² went¹⁹⁸⁰ to show himself⁷²⁰⁰ unto⁴¹³ Ahab.²⁵⁶ And there was a sore²³⁸⁹ famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ in Samaria.⁸¹¹¹

3  And Ahab²⁵⁶ called^{7121 413} Obadiah,⁵⁶⁶² which⁸³⁴ was the governor⁵⁹²¹ of his house.¹⁰⁰⁴ (Now Obadiah⁵⁶⁶² feared^{1961 3372 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ greatly:³⁹⁶⁶

4  For it was¹⁹⁶¹ so, when Jezebel³⁴⁸ cut off^{3772 853} the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ that Obadiah⁵⁶⁶² took³⁹⁴⁷ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ prophets,⁵⁰³⁰ and hid²²⁴⁴ them by fifty^{2572 376} in a cave,⁴⁶³¹ and fed³⁵⁵⁷ them with bread³⁸⁹⁹ and water.)⁴³²⁵

5  And Ahab²⁵⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Obadiah,⁵⁶⁶² Go¹⁹⁸⁰ into the land,⁷⁷⁶ unto⁴¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ fountains⁴⁵⁹⁹ of water,⁴³²⁵ and unto⁴¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ brooks:⁵¹⁵⁸ peradventure¹⁹⁴ we may find⁴⁶⁷² grass²⁶⁸² to save the horses and mules alive,^{2421 5483 6505} that we lose³⁷⁷² not³⁸⁰⁸ all the beasts.^{4480 929}

6  So they divided^{2505 853} the land⁷⁷⁶ between them to pass⁵⁶⁷⁴ throughout it: Ahab²⁵⁶ went¹⁹⁸⁰ one²⁵⁹ way¹⁸⁷⁰ by himself,⁹⁰⁵ and Obadiah⁵⁶⁶² went¹⁹⁸⁰ another²⁵⁹ way¹⁸⁷⁰ by himself.⁹⁰⁵

7  And as Obadiah⁵⁶⁶² was¹⁹⁶¹ in the way,¹⁸⁷⁰ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Elijah⁴⁵² met⁷¹²² him: and he knew⁵²³⁴ him, and fell⁵³⁰⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ his face,⁶⁴⁴⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Art thou⁸⁵⁹ that²⁰⁸⁸ my lord¹¹³ Elijah?⁴⁵²

8  And he answered⁵⁵⁹ him, I⁵⁸⁹ am: go,¹⁹⁸⁰ tell⁵⁵⁹ thy lord,¹¹³ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Elijah⁴⁵² is here.

9  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ What⁴¹⁰⁰ have I sinned,²³⁹⁸ that³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ wouldest deliver^{5414 853} thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ into the hand³⁰²⁷ of Ahab,²⁵⁶ to slay⁴¹⁹¹ me?

10  As the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ thy God⁴³⁰ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ there is³⁴²⁶ no⁵¹⁸ nation¹⁴⁷¹ or kingdom,⁴⁴⁶⁷ whither^{834 8033} my lord¹¹³ hath not³⁸⁰⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to seek¹²⁴⁵ thee: and when they said,⁵⁵⁹ He is not³⁶⁹ there; he took an oath⁷⁶⁵⁰ of ⁸⁵³ the kingdom⁴⁴⁶⁷ and nation,¹⁴⁷¹ that³⁵⁸⁸ they found⁴⁶⁷² thee not.³⁸⁰⁸

11  And now⁶²⁵⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ sayest,⁵⁵⁹ Go,¹⁹⁸⁰ tell⁵⁵⁹ thy lord,¹¹³ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Elijah⁴⁵² is here.

12  And it shall come to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ as soon as I⁵⁸⁹ am gone¹⁹⁸⁰ from^{4480 854} thee, that the Spirit⁷³⁰⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ shall carry⁵³⁷⁵ thee whither^{5921 834} I know³⁰⁴⁵ not;³⁸⁰⁸ and so when I come⁹³⁵ and tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ Ahab,²⁵⁶ and he cannot³⁸⁰⁸ find⁴⁶⁷² thee, he shall slay²⁰²⁶ me: but I thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ fear^{3372 853} the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ from my youth.^{4480 5271}

13  Was it not³⁸⁰⁸ told⁵⁰⁴⁶ my lord^{113 853} what⁸³⁴ I did⁶²¹³ when Jezebel³⁴⁸ slew^{2026 853} the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ how I hid²²⁴⁴ a hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men³⁷⁶ of the LORD's prophets^{4480 5030 3068} by fifty^{2572 2572 376} in a cave,⁴⁶³¹ and fed³⁵⁵⁷ them with bread³⁸⁹⁹ and water?⁴³²⁵

14  And now⁶²⁵⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ sayest,⁵⁵⁹ Go,¹⁹⁸⁰ tell⁵⁵⁹ thy lord,¹¹³ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ Elijah⁴⁵² is here: and he shall slay²⁰²⁶ me.

15  And Elijah⁴⁵² said,⁵⁵⁹ As the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ of hosts⁶⁶³⁵ liveth,²⁴¹⁶ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ whom⁸³⁴ I stand,⁵⁹⁷⁵ I will surely³⁵⁸⁸ show myself⁷²⁰⁰ unto⁴¹³ him today.³¹¹⁷

16  So Obadiah⁵⁶⁶² went¹⁹⁸⁰ to meet⁷¹²² Ahab,²⁵⁶ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ him: and Ahab²⁵⁶ went¹⁹⁸⁰ to meet⁷¹²² Elijah.⁴⁵²

17  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when Ahab²⁵⁶ saw^{7200 853} Elijah,⁴⁵² that Ahab²⁵⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Art thou⁸⁵⁹ he that²⁰⁸⁸ troubleth⁵⁹¹⁶ Israel?³⁴⁷⁸

18  And he answered,⁵⁵⁹ I have not³⁸⁰⁸ troubled^{5916 853} Israel;³⁴⁷⁸ but^{3588 518} thou,⁸⁵⁹ and thy father's¹ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ in that ye have forsaken^{5800 853} the commandments⁴⁶⁸⁷ of the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ and thou hast followed^{1980 310} Baalim.¹¹⁶⁸

19  Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore send,⁷⁹⁷¹ and gather⁶⁹⁰⁸ to⁴¹³ me ⁸⁵³ all³⁶⁰⁵ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ unto⁴¹³ mount²⁰²² Carmel,³⁷⁶⁰ and the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of Baal¹¹⁶⁸ four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty,²⁵⁷² and the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of the groves⁸⁴² four⁷⁰² hundred,³⁹⁶⁷ which eat³⁹⁸ at Jezebel's³⁴⁸ table.⁷⁹⁷⁹

20  So Ahab²⁵⁶ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ unto all³⁶⁰⁵ the children¹¹²¹ of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and gathered the prophets together^{6908 853 5030} unto⁴¹³ mount²⁰²² Carmel.³⁷⁶⁰

21  And Elijah⁴⁵² came⁵⁰⁶⁶ unto⁴¹³ all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ and said,⁵⁵⁹ How long^{5704 4970} halt⁶⁴⁵² ye⁸⁵⁹ between⁵⁹²¹ two⁸¹⁴⁷ opinions?⁵⁵⁸⁷ if⁵¹⁸ the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ be God,⁴³⁰ follow^{1980 310} him: but if⁵¹⁸ Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ then follow^{1980 310} him. And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ answered⁶⁰³⁰ him not³⁸⁰⁸ a word.¹⁶⁹⁷

22  Then said⁵⁵⁹ Elijah⁴⁵² unto⁴¹³ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ I,⁵⁸⁹ even I only,⁹⁰⁵ remain³⁴⁹⁸ a prophet⁵⁰³⁰ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ but Baal's¹¹⁶⁸ prophets⁵⁰³⁰ are four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ and fifty²⁵⁷² men.³⁷⁶

23  Let them therefore give⁵⁴¹⁴ us two⁸¹⁴⁷ bullocks;⁶⁴⁹⁹ and let them choose⁹⁷⁷ one²⁵⁹ bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ for themselves, and cut it in pieces,⁵⁴⁰⁸ and lay⁷⁷⁶⁰ it on⁵⁹²¹ wood,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ no³⁸⁰⁸ fire⁷⁸⁴ under: and I⁵⁸⁹ will dress^{6213 853} the other²⁵⁹ bullock,⁶⁴⁹⁹ and lay⁵⁴¹⁴ it on⁵⁹²¹ wood,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ no³⁸⁰⁸ fire⁷⁸⁴ under:

24  And call⁷¹²¹ ye on the name⁸⁰³⁴ of your gods,⁴³⁰ and I⁵⁸⁹ will call⁷¹²¹ on the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and the God⁴³⁰ that⁸³⁴ answereth⁶⁰³⁰ by fire,⁷⁸⁴ let him¹⁹³¹ be¹⁹⁶¹ God.⁴³⁰ And all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ It is well²⁸⁹⁶ spoken.¹⁶⁹⁷

25  And Elijah⁴⁵² said⁵⁵⁹ unto the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ Choose⁹⁷⁷ you one²⁵⁹ bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ for yourselves, and dress⁶²¹³ it first;⁷²²³ for³⁵⁸⁸ ye⁸⁵⁹ are many;⁷²²⁷ and call⁷¹²¹ on the name⁸⁰³⁴ of your gods,⁴³⁰ but put⁷⁷⁶⁰ no³⁸⁰⁸ fire⁷⁸⁴ under.

26  And they took^{3947 853} the bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ which⁸³⁴ was given⁵⁴¹⁴ them, and they dressed⁶²¹³ it, and called⁷¹²¹ on the name⁸⁰³⁴ of Baal¹¹⁶⁸ from morning^{4480 1242} even until⁵⁷⁰⁴ noon,⁶⁶⁷² saying,⁵⁵⁹ O Baal,¹¹⁶⁸ hear⁶⁰³⁰ us. But there was no³⁶⁹ voice,⁶⁹⁶³ nor³⁶⁹ any that answered.⁶⁰³⁰ And they leaped⁶⁴⁵² upon⁵⁹²¹ the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ which⁸³⁴ was made.⁶²¹³

27  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ at noon,⁶⁶⁷² that Elijah⁴⁵² mocked²⁰⁴⁸ them, and said,⁵⁵⁹ Cry⁷¹²¹ aloud:^{6963 1419} for³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ is a god;⁴³⁰ either³⁵⁸⁸ he is talking,⁷⁸⁷⁹ or³⁵⁸⁸ he is pursuing,⁷⁸⁷³ or³⁵⁸⁸ he is in a journey,¹⁸⁷⁰ or peradventure¹⁹⁴ he¹⁹³¹ sleepeth,³⁴⁶³ and must be awaked.³³⁶⁴

28  And they cried⁷¹²¹ aloud,^{6963 1419} and cut themselves¹⁴¹³ after their manner⁴⁹⁴¹ with knives²⁷¹⁹ and lancets,⁷⁴²⁰ till⁵⁷⁰⁴ the blood¹⁸¹⁸ gushed out⁸²¹⁰ upon⁵⁹²¹ them.

29  And it came to pass,¹⁹⁶¹ when midday⁶⁶⁷² was past,⁵⁶⁷⁴ and they prophesied⁵⁰¹² until⁵⁷⁰⁴ the time of the offering⁵⁹²⁷ of the evening sacrifice,⁴⁵⁰³ that there was neither³⁶⁹ voice,⁶⁹⁶³ nor³⁶⁹ any to answer,⁶⁰³⁰ nor³⁶⁹ any that regarded.⁷¹⁸²

30  And Elijah⁴⁵² said⁵⁵⁹ unto all³⁶⁰⁵ the people,⁵⁹⁷¹ Come near⁵⁰⁶⁶ unto⁴¹³ me. And all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ came near⁵⁰⁶⁶ unto⁴¹³ him. And he repaired^{7495 853} the altar⁴¹⁹⁶ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ that was broken down.²⁰⁴⁰

31  And Elijah⁴⁵² took³⁹⁴⁷ twelve^{8147 6240} stones,⁶⁸ according to the number⁴⁵⁵⁷ of the tribes⁷⁶²⁶ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Jacob,³²⁹⁰ unto⁴¹³ whom⁸³⁴ the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ came,¹⁹⁶¹ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Israel³⁴⁷⁸ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ thy name:⁸⁰³⁴

32  And with⁸⁵⁴ the stones⁶⁸ he built¹¹²⁹ an altar⁴¹⁹⁶ in the name⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD:³⁰⁶⁸ and he made⁶²¹³ a trench⁸⁵⁸⁵ about⁵⁴³⁹ the altar,⁴¹⁹⁶ as great as would contain¹⁰⁰⁴ two measures⁵⁴²⁹ of seed.²²³³

33  And he put^{6186 853} the wood⁶⁰⁸⁶ in order, and cut^{5408 853} the bullock⁶⁴⁹⁹ in pieces, and laid⁷⁷⁶⁰ him on⁵⁹²¹ the wood,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Fill⁴³⁹⁰ four⁷⁰² barrels³⁵³⁷ with water,⁴³²⁵ and pour³³³² it on⁵⁹²¹ the burnt sacrifice,⁵⁹³⁰ and on⁵⁹²¹ the wood.⁶⁰⁸⁶

34  And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Do it the second time.⁸¹³⁸ And they did it the second time.⁸¹³⁸ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Do it the third time.⁸⁰²⁷ And they did it the third time.⁸⁰²⁷

35  And the water⁴³²⁵ ran¹⁹⁸⁰ round about⁵⁴³⁹ the altar;⁴¹⁹⁶ and he filled^{4390 853} the trench⁸⁵⁸⁵ also¹⁵⁷¹ with water.⁴³²⁵

36  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ at the time of the offering⁵⁹²⁷ of the evening sacrifice,⁴⁵⁰³ that Elijah⁴⁵² the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ came near,⁵⁰⁶⁶ and said,⁵⁵⁹ LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God⁴³⁰ of Abraham,⁸⁵ Isaac,³³²⁷ and of Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ let it be known³⁰⁴⁵ this day³¹¹⁷ that³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art God⁴³⁰ in Israel,³⁴⁷⁸ and that I⁵⁸⁹ am thy servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ and that I have done^{6213 853} all³⁶⁰⁵ these⁴²⁸ things¹⁶⁹⁷ at thy word.¹⁶⁹⁷

37  Hear⁶⁰³⁰ me, O LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ hear⁶⁰³⁰ me, that this²⁰⁸⁸ people⁵⁹⁷¹ may know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ thou⁸⁵⁹ art the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ God,⁴³⁰ and that thou⁸⁵⁹ hast turned^{5437 853} their heart³⁸²⁰ back again.³²²

38  Then the fire⁷⁸⁴ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ fell,⁵³⁰⁷ and consumed^{398 853} the burnt sacrifice,⁵⁹³⁰ and the wood,⁶⁰⁸⁶ and the stones,⁶⁸ and the dust,⁶⁰⁸³ and licked up³⁸⁹⁷ the water⁴³²⁵ that⁸³⁴ was in the trench.⁸⁵⁸⁵

39  And when all³⁶⁰⁵ the people⁵⁹⁷¹ saw⁷²⁰⁰ it, they fell⁵³⁰⁷ on⁵⁹²¹ their faces:⁶⁴⁴⁰ and they said,⁵⁵⁹ The LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ he¹⁹³¹ is the God;⁴³⁰ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ he¹⁹³¹ is the God.⁴³⁰

40  And Elijah⁴⁵² said⁵⁵⁹ unto them, Take^{8610 853} the prophets⁵⁰³⁰ of Baal;¹¹⁶⁸ let not⁴⁰⁸ one³⁷⁶ of them⁴⁴⁸⁰ escape.⁴⁴²² And they took⁸⁶¹⁰ them: and Elijah⁴⁵² brought them down³³⁸¹ to⁴¹³ the brook⁵¹⁵⁸ Kishon,⁷⁰²⁸ and slew⁷⁸¹⁹ them there.⁸⁰³³

41  And Elijah⁴⁵² said⁵⁵⁹ unto Ahab,²⁵⁶ Get thee up,⁵⁹²⁷ eat³⁹⁸ and drink;⁸³⁵⁴ for³⁵⁸⁸ there is a sound⁶⁹⁶³ of abundance¹⁹⁹⁵ of rain.¹⁶⁵³

42  So Ahab²⁵⁶ went up⁵⁹²⁷ to eat³⁹⁸ and to drink.⁸³⁵⁴ And Elijah⁴⁵² went up⁵⁹²⁷ to⁴¹³ the top⁷²¹⁸ of Carmel;³⁷⁶⁰ and he cast himself down¹⁴⁵⁷ upon the earth,⁷⁷⁶ and put⁷⁷⁶⁰ his face⁶⁴⁴⁰ between⁹⁹⁶ his knees,¹²⁹⁰

43  And said⁵⁵⁹ to⁴¹³ his servant,⁵²⁸⁸ Go up⁵⁹²⁷ now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ look⁵⁰²⁷ toward¹⁸⁷⁰ the sea.³²²⁰ And he went up,⁵⁹²⁷ and looked,⁵⁰²⁷ and said,⁵⁵⁹ There is nothing.^{369 3972} And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Go again⁷⁷²⁵ seven⁷⁶⁵¹ times.⁶⁴⁷¹

44  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ at the seventh time,⁷⁶³⁷ that he said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ there ariseth⁵⁹²⁷ a little⁶⁹⁹⁶ cloud⁵⁶⁴⁵ out of the sea,^{4480 3220} like a man's³⁷⁶ hand.³⁷⁰⁹ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Go up,⁵⁹²⁷ say⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ Ahab,²⁵⁶ Prepare⁶³¹ thy chariot, and get thee down,³³⁸¹ that the rain¹⁶⁵³ stop⁶¹¹³ thee not.³⁸⁰⁸

45  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ in the meanwhile,^{5704 3541 5704 3541} that the heaven⁸⁰⁶⁴ was black⁶⁹³⁷ with clouds⁵⁶⁴⁵ and wind,⁷³⁰⁷ and there was¹⁹⁶¹ a great¹⁴¹⁹ rain.¹⁶⁵³ And Ahab²⁵⁶ rode,⁷³⁹² and went¹⁹⁸⁰ to Jezreel.³¹⁵⁷

46  And the hand³⁰²⁷ of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ was¹⁹⁶¹ on⁴¹³ Elijah;⁴⁵² and he girded up⁸¹⁵¹ his loins,⁴⁹⁷⁵ and ran⁷³²³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ Ahab²⁵⁶ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the entrance⁹³⁵ of Jezreel.³¹⁵⁷

1 καὶ ἐγένετο μεθ᾽ ἡμέρας πολλὰς καὶ ῥῆμα κυρίου ἐγένετο πρὸς Ηλιου ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ τρίτῳ λέγων πορεύθητι καὶ ὄφθητι τῷ Αχααβ καὶ δώσω ὑετὸν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον τῆς γῆς

2 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ηλιου τοῦ ὀφθῆναι τῷ Αχααβ καὶ ἡ λιμὸς κραταιὰ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ

3 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν Αχααβ τὸν Αβδιου τὸν οἰκονόμον καὶ Αβδιου ἦν φοβούμενος τὸν κύριον σφόδρα

4 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ τύπτειν τὴν Ιεζαβελ τοὺς προφήτας κυρίου καὶ ἔλαβεν Αβδιου ἑκατὸν ἄνδρας προφήτας καὶ ἔκρυψεν αὐτοὺς κατὰ πεντήκοντα ἐν σπηλαίῳ καὶ διέτρεφεν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἄρτῳ καὶ ὕδατι

5 καὶ εἶπεν Αχααβ πρὸς Αβδιου δεῦρο καὶ διέλθωμεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἐπὶ πηγὰς τῶν ὑδάτων καὶ ἐπὶ χειμάρρους ἐάν πως εὕρωμεν βοτάνην καὶ περιποιησώμεθα ἵππους καὶ ἡμιόνους καὶ οὐκ ἐξολοθρευθήσονται ἀπὸ τῶν κτηνῶν

6 καὶ ἐμέρισαν ἑαυτοῖς τὴν ὁδὸν τοῦ διελθεῖν αὐτήν Αχααβ ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ μιᾷ μόνος καὶ Αβδιου ἐπορεύθη ἐν ὁδῷ ἄλλῃ μόνος

7 καὶ ἦν Αβδιου ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ μόνος καὶ ἦλθεν Ηλιου εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῦ μόνος καὶ Αβδιου ἔσπευσεν καὶ ἔπεσεν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν εἰ σὺ εἶ αὐτός κύριέ μου Ηλιου

8 καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου αὐτῷ ἐγώ πορεύου λέγε τῷ κυρίῳ σου ἰδοὺ Ηλιου

9 καὶ εἶπεν Αβδιου τί ἡμάρτηκα ὅτι δίδως τὸν δοῦλόν σου εἰς χεῖρα Αχααβ τοῦ θανατῶσαί με

10 ζῇ κύριος ὁ θεός σου εἰ ἔστιν ἔθνος ἢ βασιλεία οὗ οὐκ ἀπέσταλκεν ὁ κύριός μου ζητεῖν σε καὶ εἶπον οὐκ ἔστιν καὶ ἐνέπρησεν τὴν βασιλείαν καὶ τὰς χώρας αὐτῆς ὅτι οὐχ εὕρηκέν σε

11 καὶ νῦν σὺ λέγεις πορεύου ἀνάγγελλε τῷ κυρίῳ σου ἰδοὺ Ηλιου

12 καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν ἐγὼ ἀπέλθω ἀπὸ σοῦ καὶ πνεῦμα κυρίου ἀρεῖ σε εἰς γῆν ἣν οὐκ οἶδα καὶ εἰσελεύσομαι ἀπαγγεῖλαι τῷ Αχααβ καὶ ἀποκτενεῖ με καὶ ὁ δοῦλός σού ἐστιν φοβούμενος τὸν κύριον ἐκ νεότητος αὐτοῦ

13 ἦ οὐκ ἀπηγγέλη σοι τῷ κυρίῳ μου οἷα πεποίηκα ἐν τῷ ἀποκτείνειν Ιεζαβελ τοὺς προφήτας κυρίου καὶ ἔκρυψα ἀπὸ τῶν προφητῶν κυρίου ἑκατὸν ἄνδρας ἀνὰ πεντήκοντα ἐν σπηλαίῳ καὶ ἔθρεψα ἐν ἄρτοις καὶ ὕδατι

14 καὶ νῦν σὺ λέγεις μοι πορεύου λέγε τῷ κυρίῳ σου ἰδοὺ Ηλιου καὶ ἀποκτενεῖ με

15 καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου ζῇ κύριος τῶν δυνάμεων ᾧ παρέστην ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ ὅτι σήμερον ὀφθήσομαι αὐτῷ

16 καὶ ἐπορεύθη Αβδιου εἰς συναντὴν τῷ Αχααβ καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐξέδραμεν Αχααβ καὶ ἐπορεύθη εἰς συνάντησιν Ηλιου

17 καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς εἶδεν Αχααβ τὸν Ηλιου καὶ εἶπεν Αχααβ πρὸς Ηλιου εἰ σὺ εἶ αὐτὸς ὁ διαστρέφων τὸν Ισραηλ

18 καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου οὐ διαστρέφω τὸν Ισραηλ ὅτι ἀλλ᾽ ἢ σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός σου ἐν τῷ καταλιμπάνειν ὑμᾶς τὸν κύριον θεὸν ὑμῶν καὶ ἐπορεύθης ὀπίσω τῶν Βααλιμ

19 καὶ νῦν ἀπόστειλον συνάθροισον πρός με πάντα Ισραηλ εἰς ὄρος τὸ Καρμήλιον καὶ τοὺς προφήτας τῆς αἰσχύνης τετρακοσίους καὶ πεντήκοντα καὶ τοὺς προφήτας τῶν ἀλσῶν τετρακοσίους ἐσθίοντας τράπεζαν Ιεζαβελ

20 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Αχααβ εἰς πάντα Ισραηλ καὶ ἐπισυνήγαγεν πάντας τοὺς προφήτας εἰς ὄρος τὸ Καρμήλιον

21 καὶ προσήγαγεν Ηλιου πρὸς πάντας καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ηλιου ἕως πότε ὑμεῖς χωλανεῖτε ἐπ᾽ ἀμφοτέραις ταῖς ἰγνύαις εἰ ἔστιν κύριος ὁ θεός πορεύεσθε ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ εἰ δὲ ὁ Βααλ αὐτός πορεύεσθε ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ λαὸς λόγον

22 καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου πρὸς τὸν λαόν ἐγὼ ὑπολέλειμμαι προφήτης τοῦ κυρίου μονώτατος καὶ οἱ προφῆται τοῦ Βααλ τετρακόσιοι καὶ πεντήκοντα ἄνδρες καὶ οἱ προφῆται τοῦ ἄλσους τετρακόσιοι

23 δότωσαν ἡμῖν δύο βόας καὶ ἐκλεξάσθωσαν ἑαυτοῖς τὸν ἕνα καὶ μελισάτωσαν καὶ ἐπιθέτωσαν ἐπὶ τῶν ξύλων καὶ πῦρ μὴ ἐπιθέτωσαν καὶ ἐγὼ ποιήσω τὸν βοῦν τὸν ἄλλον καὶ πῦρ οὐ μὴ ἐπιθῶ

24 καὶ βοᾶτε ἐν ὀνόματι θεῶν ὑμῶν καὶ ἐγὼ ἐπικαλέσομαι ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου τοῦ θεοῦ μου καὶ ἔσται ὁ θεός ὃς ἐὰν ἐπακούσῃ ἐν πυρί οὗτος θεός καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς καὶ εἶπον καλὸν τὸ ῥῆμα ὃ ἐλάλησας

25 καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου τοῖς προφήταις τῆς αἰσχύνης ἐκλέξασθε ἑαυτοῖς τὸν μόσχον τὸν ἕνα καὶ ποιήσατε πρῶτοι ὅτι πολλοὶ ὑμεῖς καὶ ἐπικαλέσασθε ἐν ὀνόματι θεοῦ ὑμῶν καὶ πῦρ μὴ ἐπιθῆτε

26 καὶ ἔλαβον τὸν μόσχον καὶ ἐποίησαν καὶ ἐπεκαλοῦντο ἐν ὀνόματι τοῦ Βααλ ἐκ πρωίθεν ἕως μεσημβρίας καὶ εἶπον ἐπάκουσον ἡμῶν ὁ Βααλ ἐπάκουσον ἡμῶν καὶ οὐκ ἦν φωνὴ καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἀκρόασις καὶ διέτρεχον ἐπὶ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου οὗ ἐποίησαν

27 καὶ ἐγένετο μεσημβρίᾳ καὶ ἐμυκτήρισεν αὐτοὺς Ηλιου ὁ Θεσβίτης καὶ εἶπεν ἐπικαλεῖσθε ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ὅτι θεός ἐστιν ὅτι ἀδολεσχία αὐτῷ ἐστιν καὶ ἅμα μήποτε χρηματίζει αὐτός ἢ μήποτε καθεύδει αὐτός καὶ ἐξαναστήσεται

28 καὶ ἐπεκαλοῦντο ἐν φωνῇ μεγάλῃ καὶ κατετέμνοντο κατὰ τὸν ἐθισμὸν αὐτῶν ἐν μαχαίραις καὶ σειρομάσταις ἕως ἐκχύσεως αἵματος ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς

29 καὶ ἐπροφήτευον ἕως οὗ παρῆλθεν τὸ δειλινόν καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ὁ καιρὸς τοῦ ἀναβῆναι τὴν θυσίαν καὶ οὐκ ἦν φωνή καὶ ἐλάλησεν Ηλιου ὁ Θεσβίτης πρὸς τοὺς προφήτας τῶν προσοχθισμάτων λέγων μετάστητε ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν καὶ ἐγὼ ποιήσω τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμά μου καὶ μετέστησαν καὶ ἀπῆλθον

30 καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου πρὸς τὸν λαόν προσαγάγετε πρός με καὶ προσήγαγεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς πρὸς αὐτόν

31 καὶ ἔλαβεν Ηλιου δώδεκα λίθους κατ᾽ ἀριθμὸν φυλῶν τοῦ Ισραηλ ὡς ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγων Ισραηλ ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά σου

32 καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν τοὺς λίθους ἐν ὀνόματι κυρίου καὶ ἰάσατο τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ κατεσκαμμένον καὶ ἐποίησεν θααλα χωροῦσαν δύο μετρητὰς σπέρματος κυκλόθεν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου

33 καὶ ἐστοίβασεν τὰς σχίδακας ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον ὃ ἐποίησεν καὶ ἐμέλισεν τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὰς σχίδακας καὶ ἐστοίβασεν ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον

34 καὶ εἶπεν λάβετέ μοι τέσσαρας ὑδρίας ὕδατος καὶ ἐπιχέετε ἐπὶ τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ ἐπὶ τὰς σχίδακας καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως καὶ εἶπεν δευτερώσατε καὶ ἐδευτέρωσαν καὶ εἶπεν τρισσώσατε καὶ ἐτρίσσευσαν

35 καὶ διεπορεύετο τὸ ὕδωρ κύκλῳ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ τὴν θααλα ἔπλησαν ὕδατος

36 καὶ ἀνεβόησεν Ηλιου εἰς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ εἶπεν κύριε ὁ θεὸς Αβρααμ καὶ Ισαακ καὶ Ισραηλ ἐπάκουσόν μου κύριε ἐπάκουσόν μου σήμερον ἐν πυρί καὶ γνώτωσαν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς οὗτος ὅτι σὺ εἶ κύριος ὁ θεὸς Ισραηλ κἀγὼ δοῦλός σου καὶ διὰ σὲ πεποίηκα τὰ ἔργα ταῦτα

37 ἐπάκουσόν μου κύριε ἐπάκουσόν μου ἐν πυρί καὶ γνώτω ὁ λαὸς οὗτος ὅτι σὺ εἶ κύριος ὁ θεὸς καὶ σὺ ἔστρεψας τὴν καρδίαν τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου ὀπίσω

38 καὶ ἔπεσεν πῦρ παρὰ κυρίου ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ κατέφαγεν τὸ ὁλοκαύτωμα καὶ τὰς σχίδακας καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ τὸ ἐν τῇ θααλα καὶ τοὺς λίθους καὶ τὸν χοῦν ἐξέλιξεν τὸ πῦρ

39 καὶ ἔπεσεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν καὶ εἶπον ἀληθῶς κύριός ἐστιν ὁ θεός αὐτὸς ὁ θεός

40 καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου πρὸς τὸν λαόν συλλάβετε τοὺς προφήτας τοῦ Βααλ μηθεὶς σωθήτω ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ συνέλαβον αὐτούς καὶ κατάγει αὐτοὺς Ηλιου εἰς τὸν χειμάρρουν Κισων καὶ ἔσφαξεν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ

41 καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου τῷ Αχααβ ἀνάβηθι καὶ φάγε καὶ πίε ὅτι φωνὴ τῶν ποδῶν τοῦ ὑετοῦ

42 καὶ ἀνέβη Αχααβ τοῦ φαγεῖν καὶ πιεῖν καὶ Ηλιου ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὸν Κάρμηλον καὶ ἔκυψεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ ἔθηκεν τὸ πρόσωπον ἑαυτοῦ ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν γονάτων ἑαυτοῦ

43 καὶ εἶπεν τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὑτοῦ ἀνάβηθι καὶ ἐπίβλεψον ὁδὸν τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν τὸ παιδάριον καὶ εἶπεν οὐκ ἔστιν οὐθέν καὶ εἶπεν Ηλιου καὶ σὺ ἐπίστρεψον ἑπτάκι καὶ ἐπέστρεψεν τὸ παιδάριον ἑπτάκι

44 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἑβδόμῳ καὶ ἰδοὺ νεφέλη μικρὰ ὡς ἴχνος ἀνδρὸς ἀνάγουσα ὕδωρ καὶ εἶπεν ἀνάβηθι καὶ εἰπὸν τῷ Αχααβ ζεῦξον τὸ ἅρμα σου καὶ κατάβηθι μὴ καταλάβῃ σε ὁ ὑετός

45 καὶ ἐγένετο ἕως ὧδε καὶ ὧδε καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς συνεσκότασεν νεφέλαις καὶ πνεύματι καὶ ἐγένετο ὑετὸς μέγας καὶ ἔκλαιεν καὶ ἐπορεύετο Αχααβ εἰς Ιεζραελ

46 καὶ χεὶρ κυρίου ἐπὶ τὸν Ηλιου καὶ συνέσφιγξεν τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔτρεχεν ἔμπροσθεν Αχααβ ἕως Ιεζραελ

Vul

1 Post dies multos factum est verbum Domini ad Eliam, in anno tertio, dicens: Vade, et ostende te Achab, ut dem pluviam super faciem terræ.

2 Ivit ergo Elias, ut ostenderet se Achab: erat autem fames vehemens in Samaria.

3 Vocavitque Achab Abdiam dispensatorem domus suæ: Abdias autem timebat Dominum valde.

4 Nam cum interficeret Jezabel prophetas Domini, tulit ille centum prophetas, et abscondit eos quinquagenos et quinquagenos in speluncis, et pavit eos pane et aqua.

5 Dixit ergo Achab ad Abdiam: Vade in terram ad universos fontes aquarum, et in cunctas valles, si forte possimus invenire herbam, et salvare equos et mulos, et non penitus jumenta intereant.

6 Diviseruntque sibi regiones ut circuirent eas: Achab ibat per viam unam, et Abdias per viam alteram seorsum.

7 Cumque esset Abdias in via, Elias occurrit ei: qui cum cognovisset eum, cecidit super faciem suam, et ait: Num tu es, domine mi, Elias?

8 Cui ille respondit: Ego. Vade, et dic domino tuo: Adest Elias.

9 Et ille: Quid peccavi, inquit, quoniam tradis me servum tuum in manu Achab, ut interficiat me?

10 Vivit Dominus Deus tuus, quia non est gens aut regnum quo non miserit dominus meus te requirens: et respondentibus cunctis: Non est hic: adjuravit regna singula et gentes, eo quod minime reperireris.

11 Et nunc tu dicis mihi: Vade, et dic domino tuo: Adest Elias.

12 Cumque recessero a te, spiritus Domini asportabit te in locum quem ego ignoro: et ingressus nuntiabo Achab, et non inveniens te, interficiet me: servus autem tuus timet Dominum ab infantia sua.

13 Numquid non indicatum est tibi domino meo quid fecerim cum interficeret Jezabel prophetas Domini, quod absconderim de prophetis Domini centum viros, quinquagenos et quinquagenos, in speluncis, et paverim eos pane et aqua?

14 et nunc tu dicis: Vade, et dic domino tuo: Adest Elias: ut interficiat me?

15 Et dixit Elias: Vivit Dominus exercituum, ante cujus vultum sto, quia hodie apparebo ei.

16 Abiit ergo Abdias in occursum Achab, et indicavit ei: venitque Achab in occursum Eliæ.

17 Et cum vidisset eum, ait: Tune es ille, qui conturbas Israël?

18 Et ille ait: Non ego turbavi Israël, sed tu, et domus patris tui, qui dereliquistis mandata Domini, et secuti estis Baalim.

19 Verumtamen nunc mitte, et congrega ad me universum Israël in monte Carmeli, et prophetas Baal quadringentos quinquaginta, prophetasque lucorum quadringentos, qui comedunt de mensa Jezabel.

20 Misit Achab ad omnes filios Israël, et congregavit prophetas in monte Carmeli.

21 Accedens autem Elias ad omnem populum, ait: Usquequo claudicatis in duas partes? si Dominus est Deus, sequimini eum: si autem Baal, sequimini illum. Et non respondit ei populus verbum.

22 Et ait rursus Elias ad populum: Ego remansi propheta Domini solus: prophetæ autem Baal quadringenti et quinquaginta viri sunt.

23 Dentur nobis duo boves, et illi eligant sibi bovem unum, et in frustra cædentes ponant super ligna, ignem autem non supponant: et ego faciam bovem alterum, et imponam super ligna, ignem autem non supponam.

24 Invocate nomina deorum vestrorum, et ego invocabo nomen Domini mei: et Deus qui exaudierit per ignem, ipse sit Deus. Respondens omnis populus ait: Optima propositio.

25 Dixit ergo Elias prophetis Baal: Eligite vobis bovem unum, et facite primi, quia vos plures estis: et invocate nomina deorum vestrorum, ignemque non supponatis.

26 Qui cum tulissent bovem quem dederat eis, fecerunt: et invocabant nomen Baal de mane usque ad meridiem, dicentes: Baal, exaudi nos. Et non erat vox, nec qui responderet: transiliebantque altare quod fecerant.

27 Cumque esset jam meridies, illudebat illis Elias, dicens: Clamate voce majore: deus enim est, et forsitan loquitur, aut in diversorio est, aut in itinere, aut certe dormit, ut excitetur.

28 Clamabant ergo voce magna, et incidebant se juxta ritum suum cultris et lanceolis, donec perfunderentur sanguine.

29 Postquam autem transiit meridies, et illis prophetantibus venerat tempus quo sacrificium offerri solet, nec audiebatur vox, nec aliquis respondebat, nec attendebat orantes,

30 dixit Elias omni populo: Venite ad me.
Et accedente ad se populo, curavit altare Domini quod destructum fuerat.

31 Et tulit duodecim lapides juxta numerum tribuum filiorum Jacob, ad quem factus est sermo Domini, dicens: Israël erit nomen tuum.

32 Et ædificavit de lapidibus altare in nomine Domini: fecitque aquæductum, quasi per duas aratiunculas in circuitu altaris,

33 et composuit ligna: divisitque per membra bovem, et posuit super ligna,

34 et ait: Implete quatuor hydrias aqua, et fundite super holocaustum et super ligna. Rursumque dixit: Etiam secundo hoc facite. Qui cum fecissent secundo, ait: Etiam tertio idipsum facite. Feceruntque tertio,

35 et currebant aquæ circum altare, et fossa aquæductus repleta est.

36 Cumque jam tempus esset ut offerretur holocaustum, accedens Elias propheta ait: Domine Deus Abraham, et Isaac, et Israël, ostende hodie quia tu es Deus Israël, et ego servus tuus, et juxta præceptum tuum feci omnia verba hæc.

37 Exaudi me, Domine, exaudi me: ut discat populus iste quia tu es Dominus Deus, et tu convertisti cor eorum iterum.

38 Cecidit autem ignis Domini, et voravit holocaustum, et ligna, et lapides, pulverem quoque, et aquam quæ erat in aquæductu lambens.

39 Quod cum vidisset omnis populus, cecidit in faciem suam, et ait: Dominus ipse est Deus, Dominus ipse est Deus.

40 Dixitque Elias ad eos: Apprehendite prophetas Baal, et ne unus quidem effugiat ex eis. Quos cum apprehendissent, duxit eos Elias ad torrentem Cison, et interfecit eos ibi.

41 Et ait Elias ad Achab: Ascende, comede, et bibe, quia sonus multæ pluviæ est.

42 Ascendit Achab ut comederet et biberet: Elias autem ascendit in verticem Carmeli, et pronus in terram posuit faciem suam inter genua sua,

43 et dixit ad puerum suum: Ascende, et prospice contra mare. Qui cum ascendisset, et contemplatus esset, ait: Non est quidquam. Et rursum ait illi: Revertere septem vicibus.

44 In septima autem vice, ecce nubecula parva quasi vestigium hominis ascendebat de mari. Qui ait: Ascende, et dic Achab: Junge currum tuum et descende, ne occupet te pluvia.

45 Cumque se verteret huc atque illuc, ecce cæli contenebrati sunt, et nubes, et ventus, et facta est pluvia grandis. Ascendens itaque Achab, abiit in Jezrahel:

46 et manus Domini facta est super Eliam, accinctisque lumbis currebat ante Achab, donec veniret in Jezrahel.
