41 Então disse Elias a Acabe: Sobe, come e bebe, porque há ruído de uma abundante chuva.

42 E Acabe subiu a comer e a beber; mas Elias subiu ao cume do Carmelo, e se inclinou por terra, e pôs o seu rosto entre os seus joelhos.

43 E disse ao seu servo: Sobe agora, e olha para o lado do mar. E subiu, e olhou, e disse: Não há nada. Então disse ele: Volta lá sete vezes.

44 E sucedeu que, à sétima vez, disse: Eis aqui uma pequena nuvem, como a mão de um homem, subindo do mar. Então disse ele: Sobe, e dize a Acabe: Aparelha o teu carro, e desce, para que a chuva não te impeça.

45 E sucedeu que, entretanto, os céus se enegreceram com nuvens e vento, e veio uma grande chuva; e Acabe subiu ao carro, e foi para Jizreel.

41 Then Elijah said to Ahab, Up! take food and drink, for there is a sound of much rain.

42 So Ahab went up to have food and drink, while Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he went down on the earth, putting his face between his knees.

43 And he said to his servant, Go now, and take a look in the direction of the sea. And he went up, and after looking said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times; and he went seven times.

44 And the seventh time he said, I see a cloud coming up out of the sea, as small as a man's hand. Then he said, Go up and say to Ahab, Get your carriage ready and go down or the rain will keep you back.

45 And after a very little time, the heaven became black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab went in his carriage to Jezreel.
