1 Kings 18:41-43

New International Reader's Version

⁴¹ Elijah said to Ahab, “Go. Eat and drink. I can hear the sound of a heavy rain.” ⁴² So Ahab went off to eat and drink. But Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel. He bent down toward the ground. Then he put his face between his knees.

⁴³ “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. So he went up and looked.

“I don’t see anything there,” he said.

Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.”
