1st Kings 第 18 章 - King James Strong Number Version

1

And it came to pass [after] many <H7227> days, <H3117> that the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> came to Elijah <H0452> in the third <H7992> year, <H8141> saying, <H0559> Go, <H3212> shew <H7200> thyself unto Ahab; <H0256> and I will send <H5414> rain <H4306> upon <H6440> the earth. <H0127>

2

And Elijah <H0452> went <H3212> to shew <H7200> himself unto Ahab. <H0256> And [there was] a sore <H2389> famine <H7458> in Samaria. <H8111>

3

And Ahab <H0256> called <H7121> Obadiah, <H5662> which [was] the governor of [his] house. <H1004> (Now Obadiah <H5662> feared <H3373> the LORD <H3068> greatly: <H3966>

4

For it was [so], when Jezebel <H0348> cut off <H3772> the prophets <H5030> of the LORD, <H3068> that Obadiah <H5662> took <H3947> an hundred <H3967> prophets, <H5030> and hid <H2244> them by fifty <H0376> <H2572> in a cave, <H4631> and fed <H3557> them with bread <H3899> and water.) <H4325>

5

And Ahab <H0256> said <H0559> unto Obadiah, <H5662> Go <H3212> into the land, <H0776> unto all fountains <H4599> of water, <H4325> and unto all brooks: <H5158> peradventure <H0194> we may find <H4672> grass <H2682> to save the horses <H5483> and mules <H6505> alive, <H2421> that we lose <H3772> not all the beasts. <H0929>

6

So they divided <H2505> the land <H0776> between them to pass <H5674> throughout it: Ahab <H0256> went <H1980> one <H0259> way <H1870> by himself, and Obadiah <H5662> went <H1980> another <H0259> way <H1870> by himself.

7

And as Obadiah <H5662> was in the way, <H1870> behold, Elijah <H0452> met <H7125> him: and he knew <H5234> him, and fell <H5307> on his face, <H6440> and said, <H0559> [Art] thou that my lord <H0113> Elijah? <H0452>

8

And he answered <H0559> him, I [am]: go, <H3212> tell <H0559> thy lord, <H0113> Behold, Elijah <H0452> [is here].

9

And he said, <H0559> What have I sinned, <H2398> that thou wouldest deliver <H5414> thy servant <H5650> into the hand <H3027> of Ahab, <H0256> to slay <H4191> me?

10

[As] the LORD <H3068> thy God <H0430> liveth, <H2416> there is <H3426> no nation <H1471> or kingdom, <H4467> whither <H0834> my lord <H0113> hath not sent <H7971> to seek <H1245> thee: and when they said, <H0559> [He is] not [there]; he took an oath <H7650> of the kingdom <H4467> and nation, <H1471> that they found <H4672> thee not.

11

And now thou sayest, <H0559> Go, <H3212> tell <H0559> thy lord, <H0113> Behold, Elijah <H0452> [is here].

12

And it shall come to pass, [as soon as] I am gone <H3212> from thee, that the Spirit <H7307> of the LORD <H3068> shall carry <H5375> thee whither I know <H3045> not; and [so] when I come <H0935> and tell <H5046> Ahab, <H0256> and he cannot find <H4672> thee, he shall slay <H2026> me: but I thy servant <H5650> fear <H3372> the LORD <H3068> from my youth. <H5271>

13

Was it not told <H5046> my lord <H0113> what I did <H6213> when Jezebel <H0348> slew <H2026> the prophets <H5030> of the LORD, <H3068> how I hid <H2244> an hundred <H3967> men <H0376> of the LORD'S <H3068> prophets <H5030> by fifty <H2572> <H2572> <H0376> in a cave, <H4631> and fed <H3557> them with bread <H3899> and water? <H4325>

14

And now thou sayest, <H0559> Go, <H3212> tell <H0559> thy lord, <H0113> Behold, Elijah <H0452> [is here]: and he shall slay <H2026> me.

15

And Elijah <H0452> said, <H0559> [As] the LORD <H3068> of hosts <H6635> liveth, <H2416> before <H6440> whom I stand, <H5975> I will surely shew <H7200> myself unto him to day. <H3117>

16

So Obadiah <H5662> went <H3212> to meet <H7125> Ahab, <H0256> and told <H5046> him: and Ahab <H0256> went <H3212> to meet <H7125> Elijah. <H0452>

17

And it came to pass, when Ahab <H0256> saw <H7200> Elijah, <H0452> that Ahab <H0256> said <H0559> unto him, [Art] thou he that troubleth <H5916> Israel? <H3478>

18

And he answered, <H0559> I have not troubled <H5916> Israel; <H3478> but thou, and thy father's <H0001> house, <H1004> in that ye have forsaken <H5800> the commandments <H4687> of the LORD, <H3068> and thou hast followed <H3212> <H0310> Baalim. <H1168>

19

Now therefore send, <H7971> [and] gather <H6908> to me all Israel <H3478> unto mount <H2022> Carmel, <H3760> and the prophets <H5030> of Baal <H1168> four <H0702> hundred <H3967> and fifty, <H2572> and the prophets <H5030> of the groves <H0842> four <H0702> hundred, <H3967> which eat <H0398> at Jezebel's <H0348> table. <H7979>

20

So Ahab <H0256> sent <H7971> unto all the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> and gathered the prophets <H5030> together <H6908> unto mount <H2022> Carmel. <H3760>

21

And Elijah <H0452> came <H5066> unto all the people, <H5971> and said, <H0559> How long halt <H6452> ye between <H5921> two <H8147> opinions? <H5587> if the LORD <H3068> [be] God, <H0430> follow <H3212> <H0310> him: but if Baal, <H1168> [then] follow <H3212> <H0310> him. And the people <H5971> answered <H6030> him not a word. <H1697>

22

Then said <H0559> Elijah <H0452> unto the people, <H5971> I, [even] I only, remain <H3498> a prophet <H5030> of the LORD; <H3068> but Baal's <H1168> prophets <H5030> [are] four <H0702> hundred <H3967> and fifty <H2572> men. <H0376>

23

Let them therefore give <H5414> us two <H8147> bullocks; <H6499> and let them choose <H0977> one <H0259> bullock <H6499> for themselves, and cut it in pieces, <H5408> and lay <H7760> [it] on wood, <H6086> and put <H7760> no fire <H0784> [under]: and I will dress <H6213> the other <H0259> bullock, <H6499> and lay <H5414> [it] on wood, <H6086> and put <H7760> no fire <H0784> [under]:

24

And call <H7121> ye on the name <H8034> of your gods, <H0430> and I will call <H7121> on the name <H8034> of the LORD: <H3068> and the God <H0430> that answereth <H6030> by fire, <H0784> let him be God. <H0430> And all the people <H5971> answered <H6030> and said, <H0559> It is well <H2896> spoken. <H1697>

25

And Elijah <H0452> said <H0559> unto the prophets <H5030> of Baal, <H1168> Choose <H0977> you one <H0259> bullock <H6499> for yourselves, and dress <H6213> [it] first; <H7223> for ye [are] many; <H7227> and call <H7121> on the name <H8034> of your gods, <H0430> but put <H7760> no fire <H0784> [under].

26

And they took <H3947> the bullock <H6499> which was given <H5414> them, and they dressed <H6213> [it], and called <H7121> on the name <H8034> of Baal <H1168> from morning <H1242> even until noon, <H6672> saying, <H0559> O Baal, <H1168> hear <H6030> us. But [there was] no <H0369> voice, <H6963> nor any <H0369> that answered. <H6030> And they leaped <H6452> upon the altar <H4196> which was made. <H6213>

27

And it came to pass at noon, <H6672> that Elijah <H0452> mocked <H2048> them, and said, <H0559> Cry <H7121> aloud: <H1419> <H6963> for he [is] a god; <H0430> either he is talking, <H7879> or he is pursuing, <H7873> or he is in a journey, <H1870> [or] peradventure <H0194> he sleepeth, <H3463> and must be awaked. <H3364>

28

And they cried <H7121> aloud, <H6963> <H1419> and cut <H1413> themselves after their manner <H4941> with knives <H2719> and lancets, <H7420> till the blood <H1818> gushed out <H8210> upon them.

29

And it came to pass, when midday <H6672> was past, <H5674> and they prophesied <H5012> until the [time] of the offering <H5927> of the [evening] sacrifice, <H4503> that [there was] neither voice, <H6963> nor any to answer, <H6030> nor any that regarded. <H7182>

30

And Elijah <H0452> said <H0559> unto all the people, <H5971> Come near <H5066> unto me. And all the people <H5971> came near <H5066> unto him. And he repaired <H7495> the altar <H4196> of the LORD <H3068> [that was] broken down. <H2040>

31

And Elijah <H0452> took <H3947> twelve <H8147> <H6240> stones, <H0068> according to the number <H4557> of the tribes <H7626> of the sons <H1121> of Jacob, <H3290> unto whom the word <H1697> of the LORD <H3068> came, saying, <H0559> Israel <H3478> shall be thy name: <H8034>

32

And with the stones <H0068> he built <H1129> an altar <H4196> in the name <H8034> of the LORD: <H3068> and he made <H6213> a trench <H8585> about <H5439> the altar, <H4196> as great as would contain <H1004> two measures <H5429> of seed. <H2233>

33

And he put the wood <H6086> in order, <H6186> and cut the bullock <H6499> in pieces, <H5408> and laid <H7760> [him] on the wood, <H6086> and said, <H0559> Fill <H4390> four <H0702> barrels <H3537> with water, <H4325> and pour <H3332> [it] on the burnt sacrifice, <H5930> and on the wood. <H6086>

34

And he said, <H0559> Do [it] the second time. <H8138> And they did [it] the second time. <H8138> And he said, <H0559> Do [it] the third time. <H8027> And they did [it] the third time. <H8027>

35

And the water <H4325> ran <H3212> round about <H5439> the altar; <H4196> and he filled <H4390> the trench <H8585> also with water. <H4325>

36

And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering <H5927> of the [evening] sacrifice, <H4503> that Elijah <H0452> the prophet <H5030> came near, <H5066> and said, <H0559> LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Abraham, <H0085> Isaac, <H3327> and of Israel, <H3478> let it be known <H3045> this day <H3117> that thou [art] God <H0430> in Israel, <H3478> and [that] I [am] thy servant, <H5650> and [that] I have done <H6213> all these things <H1697> at thy word. <H1697>

37

Hear <H6030> me, O LORD, <H3068> hear <H6030> me, that this people <H5971> may know <H3045> that thou [art] the LORD <H3068> God, <H0430> and [that] thou hast turned <H5437> their heart <H3820> back again. <H0322>

38

Then the fire <H0784> of the LORD <H3068> fell, <H5307> and consumed <H0398> the burnt sacrifice, <H5930> and the wood, <H6086> and the stones, <H0068> and the dust, <H6083> and licked up <H3897> the water <H4325> that [was] in the trench. <H8585>

39

And when all the people <H5971> saw <H7200> [it], they fell <H5307> on their faces: <H6440> and they said, <H0559> The LORD, <H3068> he [is] the God; <H0430> the LORD, <H3068> he [is] the God. <H0430>

40

And Elijah <H0452> said <H0559> unto them, Take <H8610> the prophets <H5030> of Baal; <H1168> let not one <H0376> of them escape. <H4422> And they took <H8610> them: and Elijah <H0452> brought them down <H3381> to the brook <H5158> Kishon, <H7028> and slew <H7819> them there.

41

And Elijah <H0452> said <H0559> unto Ahab, <H0256> Get thee up, <H5927> eat <H0398> and drink; <H8354> for [there is] a sound <H6963> of abundance <H1995> of rain. <H1653>

42

So Ahab <H0256> went up <H5927> to eat <H0398> and to drink. <H8354> And Elijah <H0452> went up <H5927> to the top <H7218> of Carmel; <H3760> and he cast himself down <H1457> upon the earth, <H0776> and put <H7760> his face <H6440> between his knees, <H1290>

43

And said <H0559> to his servant, <H5288> Go up <H5927> now, look <H5027> toward <H1870> the sea. <H3220> And he went up, <H5927> and looked, <H5027> and said, <H0559> [There is] nothing. <H0369> <H3972> And he said, <H0559> Go again <H7725> seven <H7651> times. <H6471>

44

And it came to pass at the seventh time, <H7637> that he said, <H0559> Behold, there ariseth <H5927> a little <H6996> cloud <H5645> out of the sea, <H3220> like a man's <H0376> hand. <H3709> And he said, <H0559> Go up, <H5927> say <H0559> unto Ahab, <H0256> Prepare <H0631> [thy chariot], and get thee down, <H3381> that the rain <H1653> stop <H6113> thee not.

45

And it came to pass in the mean while, <H3541> that the heaven <H8064> was black <H6937> with clouds <H5645> and wind, <H7307> and there was a great <H1419> rain. <H1653> And Ahab <H0256> rode, <H7392> and went <H3212> to Jezreel. <H3157>

46

And the hand <H3027> of the LORD <H3068> was on Elijah; <H0452> and he girded up <H8151> his loins, <H4975> and ran <H7323> before <H6440> Ahab <H0256> to the entrance <H0935> of Jezreel. <H3157>
