1 Kings 18:41-43

International Standard Version

The Rain Storm Ends the Drought

⁴¹ After this, Elijah told Ahab, “Get up and have something to eat and drink, because there’s the sound of a coming rainstorm.” ⁴² So Ahab got up to get something to eat and drink while Elijah went back up to the top of Mount^[a] Carmel, where he bowed low to the ground and placed his face between his knees.

⁴³ Then he told his young servant, “Go and look toward the sea.”

So he went and looked out to sea. “Nothing there,” he said.

But Elijah told him to go back seven times.
