1 Kings 17:1

¶ And Elijah the Tishbite, [who was] of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, [As] the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.

And Elijah {H452} the Tishbite {H8664}, who was of the inhabitants {H8453} of Gilead {H1568}, said {H559} unto Ahab {H256}, As the LORD {H3068} God {H430} of Israel {H3478} liveth {H2416}, before {H6440} whom I stand {H5975}, there shall not be dew {H2919} nor rain {H4306} these years {H8141}, but according {H6310} to my word {H1697}.

Eliyahu from Tishbe, an inhabitant of Gil'ad, said to Ach'av, "As ADONAI the God of Isra'el lives, before whom I stand, there will be neither rain nor dew in the years ahead unless I say so."

Now Elijah the Tishbite, who was among the settlers of Gilead, said to Ahab, “As surely as the LORD lives—the God of Israel before whom I stand—there will be neither dew nor rain in these years except at my word!”

And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the sojourners of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As Jehovah, the God of Israel, liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
