gltv@1Kings:17:9 @ Rise up, go to Zarephath that belongs to Sidon; and you shall live there. Behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain you.
gltv@1Kings:17:10 @ And he rose up and went to Zarephath, and came in to the entrance of the city; and, behold, a widow woman was gathering sticks. And he called to her and said, Please bring to me a little water in a vessel, and I shall drink.
gltv@1Kings:17:11 @ And she went to bring it. And he called to her and said, Please bring me a bit of bread in your hand.
gltv@1Kings:17:12 @ And she said, As Jehovah your God lives, I do not have a cake, only a handful of meal in a pitcher, and a little oil in a jar; and behold, I am gathering two sticks and will go in and prepare for myself and for my son; and we shall eat it, and die.
gltv@1Kings:17:13 @ And Elijah said to her, Do not fear, go, do according to your word, only first make me a little cake of it, and bring to me and afterward prepare for you and for your son.
gltv@1Kings:17:14 @ For so says Jehovah the God of Israel, The pitcher of meal shall not be consumed, and the jar of oil shall not fail, until the day that Jehovah sends rain on the land.

gltv@1Kings:17:18 @ And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with you, O man of God? Have you come to me to cause my iniquity to be remembered, and to put my son to death?
gltv@1Kings:17:19 @ And he said to her, Give me your son; and he took him out of her bosom, and caused him to go up into the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed.
gltv@1Kings:17:20 @ And he cried to Jehovah and said, Jehovah my God, have You also brought evil on the widow with whom I am staying, by slaying her son?

gltv@1Kings:18:1 @ And it happened after many days the word of Jehovah came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show yourself to Ahab, and I will give rain on the face of the earth.
gltv@1Kings:18:2 @ And Elijah went to be seen by Ahab. And the famine in Samaria was severe.
gltv@1Kings:18:3 @ And Ahab called to Obadiah, who was over the house (and Obadiah greatly feared Jehovah;
gltv@1Kings:18:4 @ and it happened, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and had hidden them, fifty men in a cave, and had fed them with bread and water)
gltv@1Kings:18:5 @ and Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land to all the fountains of water, and to all the torrents; perhaps we may find grass and keep alive horse and mule, and will not cut off any of the livestock.
gltv@1Kings:18:6 @ And they divided the land to themselves, to pass over into it; Ahab went in one way by himself, and Obadiah went in another way by himself.
gltv@1Kings:18:7 @ And Obadiah was in the highway; and behold, Elijah came to meet him. And he recognized him, and he fell on his face, and said, Are you this one, my lord Elijah?
gltv@1Kings:18:8 @ And he said to him, I am; Go, say to your lord, Behold, Elijah!
gltv@1Kings:18:9 @ And he said, What have I sinned, that you are giving your servant into the hand of Ahab to kill me?
gltv@1Kings:18:10 @ As Jehovah your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek you; and when they said, He is not here, then he caused the kingdom and the nation to swear that it did not find you.
gltv@1Kings:18:11 @ And now, you are saying, Go, say to your lord, Behold, Elijah.
gltv@1Kings:18:12 @ And it shall be, I will go away from you, and the Spirit of Jehovah will lift you up, where I do not know, and I will come to tell Ahab, and he will not find you, and he will kill me. And your servant has feared Jehovah from my youth.
gltv@1Kings:18:13 @ Was it not told to my lord that which I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of Jehovah, but I hid a hundred men of the prophets, fifty by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
gltv@1Kings:18:14 @ And now you are saying, Go, say to your lord, Behold, Elijah, and he will kill me!
gltv@1Kings:18:15 @ And Elijah said, As Jehovah of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely today I will be seen by him.
gltv@1Kings:18:16 @ And Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
gltv@1Kings:18:17 @ And it happened when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Are you he, the disturber of Israel?
gltv@1Kings:18:18 @ And he answered, I have not disturbed Israel, but you and the house of your father, in that you have forsaken the commands of Jehovah, and you have gone after the Baals.
gltv@1Kings:18:19 @ And now send, gather all Israel to me, to Mount Carmel and four hundred and fifty of the prophets of Baal, and four hundred of the prophets of Asherah, who eat at the table of Jezebel.
gltv@1Kings:18:20 @ And Ahab sent among all the sons of Israel and gathered the prophets to Mount Carmel.
gltv@1Kings:18:21 @ And Elijah came near all the people and said, Until when are you limping over two opinions? If Jehovah is God, follow Him; and if Baal, follow him. But the people did not answer him a word.
gltv@1Kings:18:22 @ Then Elijah said to the people, I, I alone, remain a prophet of Jehovah; but the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men.
gltv@1Kings:18:23 @ Then let them give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and place it on the wood, and place no fire. And I, I will prepare the other bullock and will put it on the wood, and I will not place fire.
gltv@1Kings:18:24 @ And you shall call on the name of your god; and I, I will call on the name of Jehovah; and it shall be, the god who answers by fire, he is the God. And all the people answered and said, The word is good.
gltv@1Kings:18:25 @ And Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Choose the one bullock for yourself, and prepare first, for you are many; and you call on the name of your god, but place no fire.
gltv@1Kings:18:26 @ And they took the bullock that was given to them, and prepared, and called on the name of Baal from the morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, answer us! And there was no sound, and no one was answering; and they leaped about the altar that one had made.
gltv@1Kings:18:27 @ And it happened at noon, that Elijah taunted them and said, 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 and must be awakened.
gltv@1Kings:18:28 @ And they called with a loud voice, and cut themselves, according to their way, with swords and with spears until blood gushed out on them.
gltv@1Kings:18:29 @ And it happened as noon passed by, that they prophesied madly until the offering up of the offering; and no sound came, and no one was answering, and no one was paying attention.
gltv@1Kings:18:30 @ And Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me. And all the people came near to him; and he healed the altar of Jehovah that had been broken down.
gltv@1Kings:18:31 @ And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of Jehovah came, saying, Israel shall be your name.
gltv@1Kings:18:32 @ And he built an altar with the stones in the name of Jehovah, and made a trench around the altar large as two seahs of seed in space.
gltv@1Kings:18:33 @ And he arranged the wood, and cut the bullock in pieces, and placed it on the wood, and said, Fill four water jars of water and pour on the burnt offering and on the wood.
gltv@1Kings:18:34 @ And he said, Do it a second time; and they did it a second time; and he said, Do it a third time; and they did it a third time.
gltv@1Kings:18:35 @ And the water went around the altar, and also he filled the trench with water.
gltv@1Kings:18:36 @ And it happened at the offering of the sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, O Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel, and I Your servant, that by Your word I have done all these things.
gltv@1Kings:18:37 @ Answer me, O Jehovah, answer me; and this people shall know that You are Jehovah God; and You shall turn their hearts back again.
gltv@1Kings:18:38 @ And fire fell from Jehovah and burned up the burnt offering, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and the water in the trench was licked up.
gltv@1Kings:18:39 @ And all the people saw, and fell on their faces, and said, Jehovah, He is the God; Jehovah, He is the God!
gltv@1Kings:18:40 @ And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal; do not let a man of them escape. And they caught them, and Elijah brought them down to the Kishon and killed them there.
gltv@1Kings:18:41 @ And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink, because of the sound of abundance of rain.
gltv@1Kings:18:42 @ And Ahab went up to eat, and to drink; and Elijah went up to the top of Carmel, and he stretched himself out on the earth, and he put his face between his knees;
gltv@1Kings:18:43 @ and said to his young man, Now go up, look closely to the way of the sea. And he went up and looked closely, and said, There is nothing; and he said, Go back seven times.
gltv@1Kings:18:44 @ And it happened at the seventh time, he said, Behold, a little cloud like the palm of a man is coming up out of the sea. And he said, Go up and say to Ahab, Bind up and go down, that the rain may not stop you.
gltv@1Kings:18:45 @ And until this and this, it happened that the heavens became black with thick clouds and wind, and the rain was heavy; and Ahab rode and went to Jezreel;
gltv@1Kings:18:46 @ and the hand of Jehovah was on Elijah, and he girded up his loins and ran before Ahab until you enter Jezreel.
gltv@1Kings:19:1 @ And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah did, and all that he killed, all the prophets by the sword.
gltv@1Kings:19:2 @ And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do, and more so, if not at this time tomorrow I will cause your life to be as the life of one of them.
gltv@1Kings:19:3 @ And he saw, and rose up and went for his life, and came to Beersheba of Judah, and left his young man there;
gltv@1Kings:19:4 @ and he himself went into the wilderness a day's journey, and came and sat under a certain broom tree. And he begged for his life, that he might die, and said, Enough, now, O Jehovah; take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.
gltv@1Kings:19:5 @ And he lay down and slept under a certain broom tree; and behold, an angel touched him and said to him, Get up, eat!
gltv@1Kings:19:6 @ And he looked, and behold, at his head was a cake on burning stones, and a jar of water; and he ate and drank, and turned and lay down.
gltv@1Kings:19:7 @ And the angel of Jehovah returned a second time, and touched him, and said, Get up, eat, for the way is too great for you.
gltv@1Kings:19:8 @ And he rose up and ate and drank, and went in the power of that food forty days and forty nights to the mount of God, Horeb.
gltv@1Kings:19:9 @ And he came there to the cave, and lodged there; and behold, the word of Jehovah came to him, and said to him, What are you doing here, Elijah?
gltv@1Kings:19:10 @ And he said, I have been very zealous for Jehovah the God of Hosts, for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant; they have thrown down Your altars, and they have killed Your prophets with the sword, and I am left, I alone, and they seek to take my life.
gltv@1Kings:19:11 @ And he said, Go out and stand on the mountain before Jehovah. And, behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind tearing the mountains and breaking the rocks in bits before Jehovah! Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind was an earthquake, but Jehovah was not in the earthquake.
gltv@1Kings:19:12 @ And after the earthquake was a fire, but Jehovah was not in the fire; and after the fire came a still, small voice.
gltv@1Kings:19:13 @ And it happened when Elijah heard, he wrapped his face in his robe and went out and stood at the cave opening; and, behold, a voice came to him, and it said, What are you doing here, Elijah?
gltv@1Kings:19:14 @ And he said, I have been very zealous for Jehovah, God of Hosts for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant; they have thrown down Your altars, and they have slain Your prophets by the sword; and I, I alone, am left; and they seek to take my life.
gltv@1Kings:19:15 @ And Jehovah said to him, Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus, and you shall go in and anoint Hazael as king over Syria;
gltv@1Kings:19:16 @ and you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel; and you shall anoint Elisha the son of Shaphat, of Abel-meholah, as prophet in your place.
gltv@1Kings:19:17 @ And it shall be, he who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu shall kill; and he who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall kill.
gltv@1Kings:19:18 @ And I have left in Israel seven thousand, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.
gltv@1Kings:19:19 @ And he left there and found Elisha the son of Shaphat; and he was plowing; twelve pairs were before him, and he was with the twelfth. And Elijah passed over to him, and threw his mantle upon him.
gltv@1Kings:19:20 @ And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you. And he said to him, Go back; for what have I done to you?
gltv@1Kings:19:21 @ And he returned from following him, and took the pair of oxen, and sacrificed them, and boiled their flesh with the yoke of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and went after Elijah and ministered to him.
