Elijah

And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, saith unto Ahab, `Jehovah, God of Israel, liveth, before whom I have stood, there is not these years dew and rain, except according to my word.'

And Elijah saith unto her, `Fear not, go, do according to thy word, only make for me thence a little cake, in the first place, and thou hast brought out to me; and for thee and for thy son make--last;

And she goeth, and doth according to the word of Elijah, and she eateth, she and he, and her household--days;

the pitcher of meal was not consumed, and the dish of oil did not lack, according to the word of Jehovah that He spake by the hand of Elijah.

And she saith unto Elijah, `What--to me and to thee, O man of God? thou hast come unto me to cause mine iniquity to be remembered, and to put my son to death!'

and Jehovah hearkeneth to the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the lad turneth back into his midst, and he liveth.

And Elijah taketh the lad, and bringeth him down from the upper chamber of the house, and giveth him to his mother, and Elijah saith, `See, thy son liveth!'

And the woman saith unto Elijah, `Now, this I have known, that a man of God thou art , and the word of Jehovah in thy mouth is truth.'

And the days are many, and the word of Jehovah hath been unto Elijah in the third year, saying, `Go, appear unto Ahab, and I give rain on the face of the ground;'

and Elijah goeth to appear unto Ahab. And the famine is severe in Samaria,

and Obadiah is in the way, and lo, Elijah--to meet him; and he discerneth him, and falleth on his face, and saith, `Art thou he--my lord Elijah?'

And he saith to him, `I am ; go, say to thy lord, Lo, Elijah.'

and now, thou art saying, Go, say to thy lord, Lo, Elijah;

and now thou art saying, Go, say to my lord, Lo, Elijah--and he hath slain me!'

And Elijah saith, `Jehovah of Hosts liveth, before whom I have stood, surely to-day I appear unto him.'

And Obadiah goeth to meet Ahab, and declareth it to him, and Ahab goeth to meet Elijah,

and it cometh to pass at Ahab's seeing Elijah, that Ahab saith unto him, `Art thou he--the troubler of Israel?'

and Elijah cometh nigh unto all the people, and saith, `Till when are ye leaping on the two branches? --if Jehovah is God, go after Him; and if Baal, go after him;' and the people have not answered him a word.

And Elijah saith unto the people, `I--I have been left a prophet of Jehovah--by myself; and the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men;

And Elijah saith to the prophets of Baal, `Choose for you the one bullock, and prepare first, for ye are the multitude, and call ye in the name of your god, and place no fire.'

And it cometh to pass, at noon, that Elijah playeth on them, and saith, `Call with a loud voice, for he is a god, for he is meditating, or pursuing, or on a journey; it may be he is asleep, an doth awake.'

And Elijah saith to all the people, `Come nigh unto me;' and all the people come nigh unto him, and he repaireth the altar of Jehovah that is broken down;

and Elijah taketh twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of Jehovah was, saying, `Israel is thy name;'

And it cometh to pass, at the going up of the evening- present, that Elijah the prophet cometh nigh and saith, `Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, to-day let it be known that Thou art God in Israel, and I Thy servant, that by Thy word I have done the whole of these things;

And Elijah saith to them, `Catch ye the prophets of Baal; let not a man escape of them;' and they catch them, and Elijah bringeth them down unto the stream Kishon, and doth slaughter them there.
