1 And it came to pass [after] many days, that the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came to Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] in the third year, saying, Go, show yourself unto Ach’av [father’s brother]; and I will send rain upon the earth.

2 And Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] went to show himself unto Ach’av [father’s brother]. And [there was] a sore famine in Shomron [watch mountain].

3 And Ach’av [father’s brother] called ‘Ovadyah [servant of Yehovah], which [was] the governor of [his] house. (Now ‘Ovadyah [servant of Yehovah] feared the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) greatly:

4 For it was [so], when Izevel [Ba’al exalts] cut off the prophets of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), that ‘Ovadyah [servant of Yehovah] took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)

5 And Ach’av [father’s brother] said unto ‘Ovadyah [servant of Yehovah], Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: perhaps we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.

6 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ach’av [father’s brother] went one way by himself, and ‘Ovadyah [servant of Yehovah] went another way by himself.

7 And as ‘Ovadyah [servant of Yehovah] was in the way, behold, Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, [Is it really] youi my lord Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah]?

8 And he answered him, I [am]: go, tell youri lord, Behold, Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] [is here].

9 And he said, What have I sinned, that youi would deliver youri servant into the hand of Ach’av [father’s brother], to slay me?

10 [As] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youri God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] lives, there is no nation or kingdom, to which my lord has not sent to seek youi: and when they said, [He is] not [there]; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found youi not.

11 And now youi say, Go, tell youri lord, Behold, Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] [is here].

12 And it shall come to pass, [as soon as] I am gone from youi, that the Spirit of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) shall carry youi to where I know not; and [so] when I come and tell Ach’av [father’s brother], and he cannot find youi, he shall slay me: but I youri servant fear the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) from my youth.

13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Izevel [Ba’al exalts] killed the prophets of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), how I hid an hundred men of the LORD-Yehōvah’s [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

14 And now youi say, Go, tell youri lord, Behold, Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] [is here]: and he shall slay me.

15 And Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] said, [As] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) Tz’va’ot [of the Heavenly Armies] lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him to day.

16 So ‘Ovadyah [servant of Yehovah] went to meet Ach’av [father’s brother], and told him: and Ach’av [father’s brother] went to meet Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah].

17 And it came to pass, when Ach’av [father’s brother] saw Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah], that Ach’av [father’s brother] said unto him, [Are] youi he that troubles Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]?

18 And he answered, I have not troubled Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; but youi, and youri father’s house, in that you2f have forsaken the commandments of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and youi have followed Ba’alim [lords (false gods)].

19 Now therefore send, [and] gather to me all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] unto mount Carmel [Garden-land], and the prophets of Ba’al [lord (a false god)] four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Izevel’s [Ba’al exalts] table.

20 So Ach’av [father’s brother] sent unto all the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel [Garden-land].

21 And Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] came unto all the people, and said, How long lame (crippled in the feet) you2f between two opinions? if the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [be] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], follow him: but if Ba’al [lord (a false god)], [then] follow him. And the people answered him not a word.

22 Then said Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] unto the people, I, [even] I only, remain a prophet of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); but Ba’al’s [lord (a false god)] prophets [are] four hundred and fifty men.

23 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay [it] on wood, and put no fire [under]: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay [it] on wood, and put no fire [under]:

24 And call you2f on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] that answers by fire, let him be God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.

25 And Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] said unto the prophets of Ba’al [lord (a false god)], Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress [it] first; for you2f [are] many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire [under].

26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed [it], and called on the name of Ba’al [lord (a false god)] from morning even until noon, saying, O Ba’al [lord (a false god)], hear us. But [there was] no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.

27 And it came to pass at noon, that Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he [is] a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, [or] perhaps he sleeps, and must be awakened.

28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.

29 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the [time] of the offering of the [evening] sacrifice, that [there was] neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.

30 And Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) [that was] broken down.

31 And Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Ya’akov [Heal of God], unto whom the word of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) came, saying, Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall be youri name:

32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed.

33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bullock in pieces, and laid [him] on the wood, and said, Fill four barrels with water, and pour [it] on the burnt sacrifice, and on the wood.

34 And he said, Do [it] the second time. And they did [it] the second time. And he said, Do [it] the third time. And they did [it] the third time.

35 And the water ran round about the altar; and he filled the trench also with water.

36 And it came to pass at [the time of] the offering of the [evening] sacrifice, that Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] the prophet came near, and said, LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Avraham [Exalted Father], Yitz’khak [Laughter], and of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], let it be known this day that youi [are] God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] in Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and [that] I [am] youri servant, and [that] I have done all these things at youri word.

37 Hear me, O LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), hear me, that this people may know that youi [are] the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and [that] youi have turned their heart back again.

38 Then the fire of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) fell, and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood, and the stones, and the dust, and licked up the water that [was] in the trench.

39 And when all the people saw [it], they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), he [is] the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), he [is] the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered].

40 And Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] said unto them, Take the prophets of Ba’al [lord (a false god)]; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] brought them down to the brook Kishon [Winding], and killed them there.

41 And Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] said unto Ach’av [father’s brother], Get youi up, eat and drink; for [there is] a sound of abundance of rain.

42 So Ach’av [father’s brother]went up to eat and to drink. And Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah] went up to the top of Carmel [Garden-land]; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face between his knees,

43 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.

44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there arises a little cloud out of the sea, like a man’s hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ach’av [father’s brother], Prepare [youi chariot], and get youi down, that the rain stop youi not.

45 And it came to pass in the meanwhile, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ach’av [father’s brother] rode, and went to Yizre’el [God Sows].

46 And the hand of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) was on Eliyahu [my God is Yehovah]; and he girded up his waist, and ran before Ach’av [father’s brother] to the entrance of Yizre’el [God Sows].
