11:018:043 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.
11:018:044 And 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.
11:018:045 And it came to pass in the mean while,
that the heaven was
black
with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain.
And
Ahab
rode, and went to Jezreel.
11:018:046 And the hand of the lord was on Elijah;
and he girded up his
loins,
and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
11:019:001 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had
done, and withal how
he
had slain all the prophets with the sword.
11:019:002 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah,
saying, So let the
gods
do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as
the
life
of one of them by to morrow about this time.
11:019:003 And when he saw that, he arose, and went
for his life, and
came
to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his
servant
there.
11:019:004 But he himself went a day’s journey
into the wilderness, and
came
and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested
for
himself
that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O
lord,
take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
11:019:005 And as he lay and slept under a juniper
tree, behold, then an
angel
touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.
11:019:006 And he looked, and, behold, there was a
cake baken on the
coals,
and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat
and
drink,
and laid him down again.
11:019:007 And the angel of the lord came again
the second time, and
touched
him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is
too
great for thee.
11:019:008 And he arose, and did eat and drink, and
went in the strength
of
that meat forty days and forty nights unto Horeb the
mount
of
God.
11:019:009 And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged
there; and,
behold,
the word of the lord came to him, and he said
unto
him,
What doest thou here, Elijah?
11:019:010 And he said, I have been very jealous for
the lord God of
hosts:
for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant,
thrown
down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the
sword;
and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life,
to
take
it away.
