1 Kings 18 (KJV)

And it came to pass

after many

days,

that the word

of the Lord

came

Elijah

in the third

year,

saying,

Go,

shew thyself

unto

Ahab;

and I will send

rain

upon

the earth.

And Elijah

went

to shew himself

unto

Ahab.

And there was a sore

famine

in Samaria.

For it was

so, when Jezebel

cut off

the prophets

of the Lord,

that Obadiah

took

an hundred

prophets,

and hid

them by fifty

in a cave,

and fed

them with bread

and water.)

And as Obadiah

was

in the way,

behold,

Elijah

met

him: and he knew

him, and fell

his face,

and said,

Art thou

that

my lord

Elijah?

And he answered

him, I

am: go,

tell

thy lord,

Behold,

Elijah

is here.

And he said,

What

have I sinned,

that

thou

wouldest deliver

thy servant

into the hand

of Ahab,

to slay

me?

As the Lord

thy God

liveth,

there is no

nation

or kingdom,

whither

my lord

hath not

sent

to seek

thee: and when they said,

He is not

there; he took an

the kingdom

and nation,

that

they found

thee not.

And now

thou

sayest,

Go,

tell

thy lord,

Behold,

Elijah

is here.

And it shall come to pass,

as soon as I

am gone

from

thee, that the Spirit

of the Lord

shall carry

thee whither

I know

not;

and so when I come

and tell

Ahab,

and he cannot

find

thee, he shall slay

me: but I thy servant

fear

the Lord

from my youth.

Was it not

told

my lord

what

I did

when Jezebel

slew

the prophets

of the Lord,

how I hid

an hundred

men

of the Lord's

prophets

by fifty

in a cave,

and fed

them with bread

and water?

And now

thou

sayest,

Go,

tell

thy lord,

Behold,

Elijah

is here: and he shall slay

me.

And Elijah

said,

As the Lord

of hosts

liveth,

before

whom

I stand,

I will surely

shew myself

unto

him to day.

So Obadiah

went

to meet

Ahab,

and told

him: and Ahab

went

to meet

Elijah.

And it came to pass,

when Ahab

saw

Elijah,

that Ahab

said

unto

him, Art thou

he that

troubleth

Israel?

So Ahab

sent

unto all

the children

of Israel,

and gathered

the prophets

together

unto

mount

Carmel.

And Elijah

came

unto

all

the people,

and said,

How long

halt

between

two

opinions?

the Lord

be God,

him: but if

Baal,

then follow

him. And the people

answered

him not

a word.

Let them therefore give

us two

bullocks;

and let them choose

one

bullock

for themselves, and cut it in pieces,

and lay

it on

wood,

and put

fire

under: and I

will dress

the other

bullock,

and lay

it on

wood,

and put

fire

under:

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

God.

And all

the people

answered

and said,

It is well

spoken.

And Elijah

said

unto the prophets

of Baal,

Choose

you one

bullock

for yourselves, and dress

it first;

for

are many;

and call

on the name

of your gods,

but put

fire

under.

And they took

the bullock

which

was given

them, and they dressed

it, and called

on the name

of Baal

from morning

even until

noon,

saying,

O Baal,

hear

us. But there was no

voice,

nor

any that answered.

And they leaped

upon

the altar

which

was made.

And it came to pass

at noon,

that Elijah

mocked

them, and said,

Cry

aloud:

for

is a god;

either

he is talking,

he is pursuing,

he is in a journey,

or peradventure

sleepeth,

and must be awaked.

And Elijah

said

unto all

the people,

Come near

unto

me. And all

the people

came near

unto

him. And he repaired

the altar

of the Lord

that was broken down.

And with

the stones

he built

an altar

in the name

of the Lord:

and he made

a trench

about

the altar,

as great as would contain

two measures

of seed.

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.

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.

And the water

ran

round about

the altar;

and he filled

the trench

also

with water.

And it came to pass

at the time of the offering

of the evening sacrifice,

that Elijah

the prophet

came near,

and said,

Lord

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.

Hear

me, O Lord,

hear

me, that this

people

may know

that

thou

art the Lord

God,

and that thou

hast turned

their heart

back again.

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.

And when all

the people

saw

it, they fell

their faces:

and they said,

The Lord,

is the God;

the Lord,

is the God.

And Elijah

said

unto Ahab,

Get thee up,

eat

and drink;

for

there is a sound

of abundance

of rain.

So Ahab

went up

to eat

and to drink.

And Elijah

went up

the top

of Carmel;

and he cast himself down

upon the earth,

and put

his face

between

his knees,

And said

his servant,

Go up

times.

that he said,
