bes - 1Kings:18:1-15

bes@1Kings:18:1 @ And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the Lord came to Eliu in the third year, saying, Go, and appear before Achaab, and I will bring rain upon the face of the earth.

bes@1Kings:18:2 @ And Eliu went to appear before Achaab: and the famine was severe in Samaria.

bes@1Kings:18:3 @ And Achaab called Abdiu the steward. Now Abdiu feared the Lord greatly.

bes@1Kings:18:4 @ And it came to pass when Jezabel smote the prophets of the Lord, that Abdiu took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.

bes@1Kings:18:5 @ And Achaab said to Abdiu, Come, and let us go through the land, and to the fountains of water, and to the brooks, if by any means we may find grass, and may save the horses and mules, and so they will not perish from the tents.

bes@1Kings:18:6 @ And they made a division of the way between them to pass through it: Achaab went one way, and Abdiu went by another way alone.

bes@1Kings:18:7 @ And Abdiu was alone in the way; and Eliu came alone to meet him: and Abdiu hasted, and fell upon his face, and said, My lord Eliu, (note:)Gr. if thou art, etc.(:note) art thou indeed he?

bes@1Kings:18:8 @ And Eliu said to him, I am: go say to thy master, Behold, Eliu is here.

bes@1Kings:18:9 @ And Abdiu said, What sin have I committed, that thou givest thy servant into the hand of Achaab to slay me?

bes@1Kings:18:10 @ As the Lord thy God lives, there is not a nation or kingdom, whither my lord has not sent to seek thee; and if they said, He is not here, then has he set fire to the kingdom and its territories, because he has not found thee.

bes@1Kings:18:11 @ And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Eliu is here.

bes@1Kings:18:12 @ And it shall come to pass when I shall have departed from thee, that the Spirit of the Lord shall carry thee to a land which I know not, and I shall go in to tell the matter to Achaab, and he will not find thee and will slay me: yet thy servant fears the Lord from his youth.

bes@1Kings:18:13 @ Has it not been told to thee my lord, what I did when Jezabel slew the prophets of the Lord, that I hid a hundred men of the prophets of the Lord, by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

bes@1Kings:18:14 @ And now thou sayest to me, Go, say to thy master, Behold, Eliu is here: and he shall slay me.

bes@1Kings:18:15 @ And Eliu said, As the Lord of Hosts before whom I stand lives, to-day I will appear before him.
