Elias encontra-se com Obadias
1 1Rs 17.1Passados muitos dias, veio a palavra de Jeová a Elias, no terceiro ano, dizendo: Vai mostrar-te a Acabe; e farei cair chuva sobre a terra. 2 Partiu Elias a se mostrar a Acabe. A fome era extrema em Samaria. 3 Acabe chamou a Obadias, 1Rs 16.9que estava sobre a sua casa (Ora, Obadias temia muito a Jeová, 4 porque, 1Rs 18.13quando Jezabel exterminava os profetas de Jeová, tomou Obadias cem profetas, e os escondeu cinquenta numa caverna e cinquenta na outra, e os sustentou de pão e água.). 5 Disse Acabe a Obadias: Vai, pela terra, a todas as fontes de água e a todas as torrentes; talvez possamos achar erva e salvar a vida aos cavalos e machos, de maneira que não percamos todos os animais. 6 Repartiram entre si a terra, para a percorrerem; Acabe foi sozinho por um caminho, e Obadias foi sozinho por outro caminho.
7 Quando Obadias estava em caminho, eis que Elias se encontrou com ele. Obadias, 2Rs 1.6-8reconhecendo-o, prostrou-se com o rosto em terra e disse: És tu, meu senhor Elias? 8 Ele respondeu: Sou eu; vai e dize ao teu senhor: Eis aqui está Elias. 9 Ele disse: Em que pequei, para que tu entregues o teu servo nas mãos de Acabe, para ele me matar? 10 1Rs 17.1Pela vida de Jeová, teu Deus, que não há nação nem reino, aonde o meu senhor não tenha enviado em busca de ti, e, dizendo eles: Não está aqui, fazia ele jurar a nação e o reino que não te haviam achado. 11 Agora, tu dizes: Vai e dize ao teu senhor: Eis aqui está Elias. 12 Logo que eu me apartar de ti, levar-te-á 2Rs 2.16;Ez 3.12,14;At 8.39o Espírito de Jeová para um lugar que ignoro; quando eu vier e o disser a Acabe, e ele não te puder achar, tirar-me-á a vida. Porém eu, teu servo, temo a Jeová desde a minha mocidade. 13 1Rs 18.4Acaso, não se te disse o que fiz quando Jezabel matava os profetas de Jeová, a saber, como escondi cem dos profetas de Jeová, cinquenta numa caverna e cinquenta na outra, e os sustentei de pão e água? 14 Agora, dizes tu: Vai e dize ao teu senhor: Eis aqui está Elias. Ele me matará. 15 Elias disse: 1Rs 17.1Pela vida de Jeová, em cuja presença estou, hoje mesmo, me hei de mostrar a ele.
Acabe encontra-se com Elias
16 Foi Obadias encontrar-se com Acabe e avisou-o; e foi Acabe ter com Elias. 17 Vendo-o, 1Rs 21.20;Js 7.25disse-lhe: És tu, ó perturbador de Israel? 18 Respondeu Elias: Eu não tenho perturbado a Israel; mas tu e a casa de teu pai, por 1Rs 9.9;2Cr 15.2terdes deixado os mandamentos de Jeová e 1Rs 16.31;21.25-26por teres tu seguido os Baalins. 19 Agora, envia e ajunta a mim todo o Israel no Js 19.26;2Rs 2.25monte Carmelo e os quatrocentos e cinquenta 1Rs 18.22profetas de Baal, e os quatrocentos profetas da 1Rs 16.33Aserá, que comem da mesa de Jezabel.
Elias e os profetas de Baal
20 Acabe enviou a todos os filhos de Israel e ajuntou os profetas no monte Carmelo. 21 Elias, chegando-se a todo o povo, disse: Até Dt 4.35;2Rs 17.41quando claudicareis para duas partes? Js 24.15Se Jeová é Deus, segui-o; se, porém, Baal o é, segui-o. O povo não lhe respondeu palavra. 22 Então, disse Elias ao povo: 1Rs 19.10,14Eu sou o único que fiquei dos profetas de Jeová, mas os profetas de Baal são 1Rs 18.19quatrocentos e cinquenta homens. 23 Deem-se-nos, portanto, dois novilhos; escolham eles para si um novilho e, dividindo-o em pedaços, o ponham sobre a lenha, porém não metam fogo por baixo; eu prepararei o outro novilho e pô-lo-ei sobre a lenha, porém não meterei fogo por baixo. 24 Invocai vós o nome do vosso deus, e eu invocarei o nome de Jeová; o 1Rs 18.38Deus que responder por meio do fogo, seja esse o Deus. Todo o povo, respondendo, disse: É boa a proposta.
25 Disse Elias aos profetas de Baal: Escolhei para vós um novilho, e preparai-o primeiro, porque sois muitos, e invocai o nome do vosso deus, e não metais fogo por baixo. 26 Tendo eles tomado o novilho que lhes fora dado, prepararam-no e invocaram o nome de Baal desde a manhã até o meio dia, dizendo: Baal, responde-nos. Porém não havia voz, nem havia quem respondesse. Rodeavam, manquejando, o altar que se tinha feito. 27 Ao meio-dia, Elias zombava deles e dizia: Gritai em altas vozes, pois ele é um deus; ou está meditando, ou está em retiro, ou está em viagem, ou, porventura, está dormindo e necessita que o acordem. 28 Clamavam em altas vozes e, segundo o seu costume, Lv 19.28;Dt 14.1;Mq 6.7se retalhavam com facas e lancetas, até sair-lhes sangue. 29 Passado o meio-dia, profetizavam Êx 29.39,41até o tempo de se oferecer a oblação da tarde; porém não havia voz, nem havia quem respondesse, nem atendesse.
30 Então, disse Elias a todo o povo: Chegai-vos a mim. Chegou-se a ele todo o povo. Elias 1Rs 19.10,14;2Cr 33.16consertou o altar de Jeová, que tinha sido derrubado. 31 Tomou doze pedras, conforme o número das tribos dos filhos de Jacó, a quem viera a palavra de Jeová, dizendo: Gn 32.28;35.10;2Rs 17.34Israel será o teu nome. 32 Com as pedras, edificou um altar ao nome de Jeová e fez um sulco capaz de conter duas medidas de semente ao redor do altar. 33 Gn 22.9;Lv 1.7-8Dispôs a lenha, dividiu o novilho em pedaços e pô-lo sobre a lenha. Ele disse: Enchei de água quatro talhas e entornai-a sobre o holocausto e sobre a lenha. 34 Disse ainda: Fazei-o segunda vez; e fizeram-no segunda vez. De novo, disse: Fazei-o terceira vez; e fizeram-no terceira vez. 35 A água corria ao redor do altar; ele encheu também de água o sulco. 36 1Rs 18.29Sendo já o tempo de se oferecer a oblação da tarde, chegou-se Elias e disse: Êx 3.6;4.5Ó Jeová, Deus de Abraão, de Isaque e de Israel, seja manifestado, hoje, que tu és Deus em Israel, e que eu sou teu servo, e Nm 16.28-32que por tua ordem tenho feito todas essas coisas. 37 Responde-me, Jeová! Responde-me para que este povo conheça que tu, Jeová, és Deus, porque fizeste voltar para trás o seu coração! 38 Gn 15.17;Lv 10.1-2;2Rs 1.12;Jó 1.16Caiu o fogo de Jeová, e consumiu o holocausto, e a lenha, e as pedras, e o pó, e sorveu a água que estava no sulco. 39 O que tendo visto todo o povo, prostraram-se com o rosto em terra e disseram: 1Rs 18.21,24Jeová é o Deus; Jeová é o Deus. 40 Disse-lhes Elias: Agarrai os profetas de Baal; que nenhum deles escape. Agarraram-nos. Elias fê-los descer Jz 4.7;5.21à torrente de Quisom e Dt 13.5;18.20;2Rs 10.24-25ali os matou.
Fim da seca
41 Disse Elias a Acabe: Sobe, come e bebe, porque se ouve o ruído duma grande chuva. 42 Subiu Acabe a comer e a beber. Elias subiu ao cume do 1Rs 18.19-20Carmelo e, inclinado por terra, meteu o rosto entre os joelhos. 43 Disse ao seu criado: Sobe agora e olha para a banda do mar. Subiu, olhou e disse: Não há nada. Elias disse-lhe: Torna a ir sete vezes. 44 À sétima vez, disse: Eis Lc 12.54que se levanta do mar uma nuvem, ao tamanho da mão dum homem. Disse-lhe Elias: Sobe e dize a Acabe: Manda aprontar o teu carro e desce, para que a chuva não te impeça de o fazer. 45 Em pouco tempo, o céu enegreceu de nuvens e de vento, e caiu uma grande chuva. Acabe subiu ao carro e foi para Js 17.16;Jz 6.33Jezreel. 46 2Rs 3.15;Is 8.11A mão de Jeová foi sobre Elias, que 2Rs 4.29;Jr 1.17;1Pe 1.13cingiu os lombos e correu adiante de Acabe até a entrada de Jezreel.
KJV · King James Version
1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth. 2 And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria. 3 And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:18.3 Obadiah: Heb. Obadiahu18.3 the governor…: Heb. over his house 4 For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)18.4 Jezebel: Heb. Izebel 5 And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.18.5 that…: Heb. that we cut not off ourselves from the beasts 6 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
7 And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Elijah? 8 And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me? 10 As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not. 11 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here. 12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth. 13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD’s prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water? 14 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me. 15 And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day. 16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel? 18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim. 19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel’s table. 20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.
21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.18.21 opinions: or, thoughts 22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s 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 ye on the name of your gods, and I will call on the name of the LORD: and the God that answereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken.18.24 It is…: Heb. The word is good 25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye 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 Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.18.26 hear: or, answer18.26 answered: or, heard18.26 leaped…: or, leaped up and down at the altar 27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah 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 peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.18.27 aloud: Heb. with a great voice18.27 he is talking: or, he meditateth18.27 is pursuing: Heb. hath a pursuit 28 And they cried aloud, and cut themselves after their manner with knives and lancets, till the blood gushed out upon them.18.28 the blood…: Heb. poured out blood 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.18.29 offering: Heb. ascending18.29 that regarded: Heb. attention 30 And Elijah 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 that was broken down. 31 And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name: 32 And with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD: 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.18.35 ran: Heb. went 36 And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. 37 Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again. 38 Then the fire of the LORD 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, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God. 40 And 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.18.40 Take: or, Apprehend
41 And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.18.41 a sound…: or, a sound of a noise of rain 42 So 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, 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 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.18.44 Prepare: Heb. Tie, or, Bind 45 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. 46 And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.18.46 to the…: Heb. till thou come to Jezreel
