41. Elijah said to Ahab, “Get up, eat and drink, for there is a sound of a heavy rainfall.”
42. So Ahab got up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel, and he threw himself down on the ground and put his face between his knees.
43. And he said to his servant, “Go up now, and look toward the sea.”And he went up and looked and said, “There is nothing.”And he said, “Go again,” seven times.
44. On the seventh time, he said, “A small cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising out of the sea.”And he said, “Go up and say to Ahab, ‘Mount your chariot and get down, so that the rain does not stop you.’ ”
