1 Kings 18:39-44
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 18
39When all the people saw this, they fell on their faces; and they said, 'The Lord, He is God; the Lord, He is God!' 40Then Elijah said to them, 'Seize the prophets of Baal; do not let one of them escape.' So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slaughtered them there.
41Now Elijah said to Ahab, 'Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower.'
42So Ahab went up to eat and drink. But Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bent down to the earth and put his face between his knees.
43And he said to his servant, 'Go up now, look toward the sea.' So he went up and looked, but he said, 'There is nothing.' Yet Elijah said, 'Go back' seven times.
44And when he returned the seventh time, he said, 'Behold, a cloud as small as a person’s hand is coming up from the sea.' And Elijah said, 'Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Harness your chariot horses and go down, so that the heavy shower does not stop you.’?'
King James Version
Chapter 18
39And 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. 40And 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.
41And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
42So 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,
43And 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.
44And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
