And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth. Luk 4:25Jas 5:171Ki 17:1Deu 28:121Ki 18:15-401Ki 18:2Jol 2:23Lev 26:4 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria. 2Ki 6:25Deu 28:23-24Heb 13:5-6Isa 51:12Jer 14:18Jer 14:2-6Jol 1:15-20Lev 26:26 And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly: 1 2 Neh 7:21Ki 16:9Mat 10:281Ki 18:122Ki 4:1Act 10:2Act 10:35Gen 22:12 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.) 3 1Ki 18:13Mat 10:40-42Heb 11:38Mat 21:35Mat 25:35Mat 25:40Neh 9:26Rev 17:4-6 And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts. 4 Jer 14:5-6Jol 1:18Hab 3:17Jol 2:22Psa 104:14Rom 8:20-22 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. Jer 14:3
¶ And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah? 2Ki 1:6-81Ki 11:291Sa 20:412Sa 19:18Gen 18:12Gen 18:2Gen 44:16Gen 44:20 And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 1Ki 18:31Pe 2:17-18Rom 13:7 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me? 1Ki 17:181Ki 18:12Exo 5:21 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 oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not. 1Ki 17:11Ki 1:291Ki 17:121Ki 17:51Ki 17:91Ki 18:151Ki 2:241Sa 29:6 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 1Ki 18:141Ki 18:8 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. 2Ki 2:16Act 8:39Ezk 8:32Co 12:2-32Ki 2:11Ezk 11:24Ezk 3:12-14Ezk 37:1 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? 1Ki 18:4Mat 25:351Th 2:9-10Act 20:34Gen 20:4-5Mat 10:41-42Psa 18:21-24 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me. Mat 10:28 And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day. 1Ki 17:11Ki 18:10Deu 1:38Deu 4:19Gen 2:1Heb 6:16-17Isa 51:7-8Isa 6:3 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? Jos 7:251Ki 21:20Act 16:20Act 17:6Act 24:5Amo 7:10Jer 26:8-9Jer 38:4 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim. 2Ch 15:21Ki 9:91Ki 16:31Jer 2:191Ki 21:25Act 24:13Act 24:20Ezk 3:8 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table. 1Ki 16:33Jos 19:262Ki 2:252Pe 2:11Ki 15:131Ki 18:221Ki 18:42-431Ki 19:1-2 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. 1Ki 22:9
And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 5 Mat 6:24Jos 24:151Co 10:21-222Co 6:14-161Sa 7:32Ki 17:41Rev 3:15-16Zep 1:5 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men. 1Ki 19:101Ki 19:141Ki 18:19-201Ki 20:131Ki 20:321Ki 20:351Ki 20:381Ki 22:6-8 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 no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no 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 be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken. 6 1Ki 18:381Ch 21:262Ch 7:12Ch 7:3Lev 9:24Jdg 6:212Sa 14:19Isa 39:8 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no 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. 7 9 8 Jer 10:51Co 12:21Co 8:4Mat 6:71Co 10:19-201Ki 18:24Dan 5:23Hab 2:18 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. 10 12 11 Isa 41:23Psa 78:65-661Ki 22:152Ch 25:8Amo 4:4-5Ecc 11:9Ezk 20:39Isa 44:15-17 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them. 13 Lev 19:28Deu 14:1Mrk 5:5Mic 6:7Mrk 9:22 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded. 14 15 1Co 11:4-51Ki 18:261Ki 22:101Ki 22:121Sa 18:102Ti 3:8-9Act 16:16-17Exo 29:39 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. 2Ch 33:161Ki 19:141Ki 19:10Rom 11:3 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name: 2Ki 17:34Gen 32:28Gen 35:10Jos 4:20Jos 4:3-4Eph 2:20Eph 4:4-6Exo 24:4 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. Col 3:17Exo 20:24-251Co 10:311Sa 7:171Sa 7:9Jdg 21:4Jdg 6:26 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. Gen 22:9Dan 3:19Dan 3:25Jdg 6:20Jhn 11:39-40Jhn 19:33-34Lev 1:6-8 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. 2Co 4:22Co 8:21 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water. 16 1Ki 18:321Ki 18:38 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. 1Ki 18:292Ki 19:19Exo 3:61Ki 8:43Mat 22:32Psa 83:18Act 3:1Dan 12:11 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. Dan 9:17-19Luk 1:16-17Ezk 36:25-271Ki 18:24Mal 4:5-61Ki 18:291Ki 18:362Ch 14:11 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. Lev 9:241Ch 21:262Ch 7:1Jdg 6:211Ki 18:242Ki 1:12Job 1:16Lev 10:2 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God. 1Ki 18:242Ch 7:31Ki 18:211Ch 21:16Act 2:37Act 4:16Jdg 13:20Jhn 5:35 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there. 17 Deu 18:20Jdg 4:7Deu 13:5Jdg 5:21Zec 13:2-32Ki 10:24-25Jer 48:10Rev 19:20
¶ And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain. 18 1Ki 18:11Ki 17:1Ecc 9:7Act 27:34 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees, Luk 6:121Ki 18:19-201Ki 19:132Sa 12:16Act 10:9Dan 9:3Dan 9:7Ezr 9:6 And said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times.
