And Elijah the Tishbite, which was of the inhabiters of Gilead, said unto Ahab, "As truly as the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, save as I appoint it."

And Elijah said unto her, "Fear not, but go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first of all, and bring it out to me, and afterward make for thee and thy son.

And she went and did as Elijah bade. And she and he and her house did eat a good space,

and the pitcher of meal wasted not neither was the oil cruse without oil according to the word of the LORD which he spake through Elijah.

Then said she unto Elijah, "What have I to do with thee, O thou man of God? Art thou come unto me, that my sin should be thought on and my son slain?"

And Elijah said unto her, "Give me thy son." And he took him out of her lap and carried him up into a loft where he lay, and laid him upon his own bed,

And the LORD heard the voice of Elijah, and the soul of the lad came into him again and he revived.

And Elijah took the boy and brought him down out of the chamber into the house and delivered him unto his mother and said, "See, thy son liveth."

Then the wife said to Elijah, "Now I know that thou art God's man, and that the word of the LORD in thy mouth is truth."

And at the last, the word of the LORD came to Elijah the third year, saying, "Go show thyself unto Ahab, that I may send rain upon the earth."

And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab, for there was a great famishment in Samaria.

And it chanced, as Obadiah went in the way, that Elijah met him. And Obadiah knew him and fell on his face and said, "Art not thou my lord Elijah?"

And he said unto him, "I am he. Go and tell Ahab that Elijah is here."

And now thou sayest, 'Go and tell thy Lord Elijah is here.'

And yet now thou sayest, "Go show thy lord that Elijah is here, that he should slay me."

Then Elijah said, "As truly as the LORD of Hosts liveth, before whom I stand: I will show myself unto him this day."

And thereupon Obadiah went to Ahab and told him. And Ahab went against Elijah.

And when Ahab saw Elijah, he said unto him, "Art thou he that troubleth Israel?"

And Elijah came unto all the people and said, "Why halt ye between two opinions? If the LORD be very God, follow him: or if Baal be he, follow him." And the people answered him not one word.

Then said Elijah unto the people, "I only remain of the LORD's Prophets, and Baal's Prophets are four hundredth and fifty.

Then said Elijah unto the Prophets of Baal, "Choose you an ox and dress him first - for ye are many - and call on the name of your God, but put no fire under."

And at noon Elijah mocked them, and said, "Call loud, for he is a god: but he is talking, or occupied, or in the way, or haply he sleepeth, that he may awake!"

Then Elijah said to all the folk, "Come to me." And all the people came to him. And he mended the altar of the LORD that was broken.

And when offering time was come, Elijah the prophet went to and said, "LORD God of Abraham, Isaac and of Israel, let it be known this day, that thou art the God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I do all these things at thy commandment.

Then said Elijah unto them, "Lay hands on the Prophets of Baal - let not one of them escape." And when they had taken them, Elijah brought them down unto the brook Kishon, and slew them there.

Then Elijah said unto Ahab, "Get thee up and eat and drink, for there is a sound of much rain."

And when Ahab went up to eat and to drink, Elijah went up to the top of mount Carmel; and bowed himself to the earth, and put his face between his knees,

And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah, and he girded up his loins and ran before Ahab, till they came to Jezreel.

And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and altogether how he had slain the Prophets with the sword.

Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, "So do God to me, and so thereto, except I make thy soul like one of theirs by tomorrow this time."

and entered there into a cave and lodged there all night. And then the word of the LORD came to him, and said, "What doest thou here, Elijah?"

And when Elijah heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and went out and stood in the mouth of the cave. And see, there came a voice unto him and said, "What doest thou here Elijah?"

And he departed thence and found Elisha the son of Shaphat plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelve. And Elijah went to him and cast his mantle upon him.

And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, "Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and mother, and then I will follow thee." And he said to him, "Go back again, for what have I done to thee?"

And he went back again from after him, and took a yoke of oxen and slew them, and dressed the flesh with the instruments of the oxen and gave it the people, and they did eat. And then he arose and went after Elijah and ministered unto him.

And the word of the LORD came unto Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

And Ahab said to Elijah, "Hast thou found me thine enemy at any time?" And he said, "Yea, because thou art utterly given to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD.

And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
