For it was so , when Jezebelh348 cut offh3772h8687 the prophetsh5030 of the LORDh3068, that Obadiahh5662 tookh3947h8799 an hundredh3967 prophetsh5030, and hidh2244h8686 them by fiftyh376h2572 in a caveh4631, and fedh3557h8773 them with breadh3899 and waterh4325.) Jezebel: Heb. Izebel

So they dividedh2505h8762 the landh776 between them to pass throughouth5674h8800 it: Ahabh256 wenth1980h8804 oneh259 wayh1870 by himself, and Obadiahh5662 wenth1980h8804 anotherh259 wayh1870 by himself.

And as Obadiahh5662 was in the wayh1870, behold, Elijahh452 meth7125h8800 him: and he knewh5234h8686 him, and fellh5307h8799 on his faceh6440, and saidh559h8799, Art thou that my lordh113 Elijahh452?

8

And he answeredh559h8799 him, I am : goh3212h8798, tellh559h8798 thy lordh113, Behold, Elijahh452 is here .

9

And he saidh559h8799, What have I sinnedh2398h8804, that thou wouldest deliverh5414h8802 thy servanth5650 into the handh3027 of Ahabh256, to slayh4191h8687 me?

10

As the LORDh3068 thy Godh430 livethh2416, there is noh3426 nationh1471 or kingdomh4467, whitherh834 my lordh113 hath not senth7971h8804 to seekh1245h8763 thee: and when they saidh559h8804, He is not there ; he took an oathh7650h8689 of the kingdomh4467 and nationh1471, that they foundh4672h8799 thee not.

11

And now thou sayesth559h8802, Goh3212h8798, tellh559h8798 thy lordh113, Behold, Elijahh452 is here .

12

And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am goneh3212h8799 from thee, that the Spirith7307 of the LORDh3068 shall carryh5375h8799 thee whither I knowh3045h8799 not; and so when I comeh935h8804 and tellh5046h8687 Ahabh256, and he cannot findh4672h8799 thee, he shall slayh2026h8804 me: but I thy servanth5650 fearh3372h8804 the LORDh3068 from my youthh5271.

13

Was it not toldh5046h8717 my lordh113 what I didh6213h8804 when Jezebelh348 slewh2026h8800 the prophetsh5030 of the LORDh3068, how I hidh2244h8686 an hundredh3967 menh376 of the LORD'Sh3068 prophetsh5030 by fiftyh2572 in a caveh4631, and fedh3557h8770 them with breadh3899 and waterh4325?

14

And now thou sayesth559h8802, Goh3212h8798, tellh559h8798 thy lordh113, Behold, Elijahh452 is here : and he shall slayh2026h8804 me.

15

And Elijahh452 saidh559h8799, As the LORDh3068 of hostsh6635 livethh2416, beforeh6440 whom I standh5975h8804, I will surely shewh7200h8735 myself unto him to dayh3117.

16

So Obadiahh5662 wenth3212h8799 to meeth7125h8800 Ahabh256, and toldh5046h8686 him: and Ahabh256 wenth3212h8799 to meeth7125h8800 Elijahh452.

And it came to pass, when Ahabh256 sawh7200h8800 Elijahh452, that Ahabh256 saidh559h8799 unto him, Art thou he that troublethh5916h8802 Israelh3478?

18

And he answeredh559h8799, I have not troubledh5916h8804 Israelh3478; but thou, and thy father'sh1 househ1004, in that ye have forsakenh5800h8800 the commandmentsh4687 of the LORDh3068, and thou hast followedh3212h8799h310 Baalimh1168.

19

Now therefore sendh7971h8798, and gatherh6908h8798 to me all Israelh3478 unto mounth2022 Carmelh3760, and the prophetsh5030 of Baalh1168 fourh702 hundredh3967 and fiftyh2572, and the prophetsh5030 of the grovesh842 fourh702 hundredh3967, which eath398h8802 at Jezebel'sh348 tableh7979.

And Elijahh452 cameh5066h8799 unto all the peopleh5971, and saidh559h8799, How longh5921 halth6452h8802 ye between twoh8147 opinionsh5587? if the LORDh3068 be Godh430, follow him: but if Baalh1168, then followh3212h8798h310 him.

22

Then saidh559h8799 Elijahh452 unto the peopleh5971, I, even I only, remainh3498h8738 a propheth5030 of the LORDh3068; but Baal'sh1168 prophetsh5030 are fourh702 hundredh3967 and fiftyh2572 menh376.

25

And Elijahh452 saidh559h8799 unto the prophetsh5030 of Baalh1168, Chooseh977h8798 you oneh259 bullockh6499 for yourselves, and dressh6213h8798 it firsth7223; for ye are manyh7227; and callh7121h8798 on the nameh8034 of your godsh430, but puth7760h8799 no fireh784 under .

26

And they tookh3947h8799 the bullockh6499 which was givenh5414h8804 them, and they dressedh6213h8799 it , and calledh7121h8799 on the nameh8034 of Baalh1168 from morningh1242 even until noonh6672, sayingh559h8800, O Baalh1168, hearh6030h8798 us. But there was noh369 voiceh6963, nor any that answeredh6030h8802. And they leapedh6452h8762 upon the altarh4196 which was madeh6213h8804. hear: or, answer

And he puth6186 the woodh6086 in orderh6186h8799, and cuth5408h8762 the bullockh6499 in pieces, and laidh7760h8799 him on the woodh6086, and saidh559h8799, Fillh4390h8798 fourh702 barrelsh3537 with waterh4325, and pourh3332h8798 it on the burnt sacrificeh5930, and on the woodh6086.
