1So like, after a minute, the Lord hit up Elijah in year three, saying, "Go flex on Ahab; I’m about to send some rain vibes."

2Elijah dipped to show himself to Ahab, and fam, there was a major famine in Samaria.

3Ahab called up Obadiah, the head honcho of his crib. (Obadiah was low-key scared of the Lord, no cap.)

4So when Jezebel was out here taking out the prophets, Obadiah stashed a hundred of them in a cave, hiding them in groups of fifty, feeding them bread and water. Straight up savage.

5Ahab told Obadiah, "Go check the land, hit up all the water spots and streams; we might find some grass to keep the horses and mules alive, so we don’t lose all our crew."

6They split the land to search it out: Ahab went one way solo, and Obadiah went another way solo.

7As Obadiah was on his grind, boom, Elijah ran into him, and he recognized him, fell on his face, and was like, "Yo, are you my dude Elijah?"

8Elijah said, "Yup, it’s me; go tell your boss, ‘Elijah's in the building.’"

9Obadiah was like, "What did I do wrong that you wanna hand me over to Ahab to get wrecked?"

10As the Lord your God lives, there’s no nation or kingdom where my boss hasn’t sent to find you, and when they said, ‘He’s not here,’ he made them swear they didn’t find you, fr.

11Yo, you’re saying, “Go tell your boss, Elijah's in the house.”

12So like, when I bounce, the Spirit of the Lord’s gonna ghost me somewhere I can’t even vibe with; and when I tell Ahab and he can’t find you, he’s gonna be mad sus: but I’m lowkey scared of the Lord since I was a kid.

13Didn’t my dude hear about how I saved a hundred of the Lord’s prophets when Jezebel was on her savage spree? I hid them in a cave and kept them fed with bread and water, no cap.

14Now you’re saying, “Go tell your boss, Elijah’s here,” and he’s gonna be like, “Nah, I’m gonna end you.”

15Elijah’s like, “As the Lord of hosts is lit, who I’m vibing with, I’m definitely gonna show up to him today.”

16So Obadiah dipped to meet Ahab and spilled the tea; Ahab went to link up with Elijah.

17When Ahab saw Elijah, he was like, “Are you the one causing all this drama in Israel?”

18Elijah’s like, “I ain’t causing no drama; it’s you and your fam for ditching the Lord’s commandments and chasing after Baal, fr.”

19So send out the invites and gather all of Israel at Mount Carmel, plus the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of the groves who munch at Jezebel’s table.

20Ahab sent the word to all the peeps of Israel and rounded up the prophets to roll out to Mount Carmel.

21Elijah rolled up to the crowd and was like, "How long you gonna be wishy-washy? If the Lord's the GOAT, follow Him; if Baal's your vibe, then go with him." But the crowd was silent, no cap.

22Then Elijah told them, "It's just me, the last prophet for the Lord; meanwhile, Baal's got 450 peeps backing him."

23"So, let's get two bulls; you pick one for yourselves, chop it up, lay it on some wood, but don’t light it. I’ll do the same with the other."

24"Call on your gods, and I’ll call on the Lord. The God who answers with fire is the real deal. The crowd was like, 'That sounds lit!'"

25Elijah told Baal's prophets, "You guys pick your bull, get it ready first since you’re a whole squad. Call on your gods but don’t light it up."

26They grabbed the bull, prepped it, and started calling on Baal from morning till noon, yelling, "O Baal, hear us!" But it was dead silence, and they jumped on the altar they made.

27At noon, Elijah started roasting them, saying, "Yell louder! Maybe he’s busy, on a trip, or just straight up sleeping and needs to be woke."

28So they screamed even louder, cutting themselves like they do, till the blood was pouring out.

29By the time noon passed and they kept going until the evening sacrifice, there was still no voice, no response, nobody caring.

30Elijah said to everyone, "Come closer!" So they gathered around him, and he fixed up the Lord’s altar that had been wrecked.

31Elijah grabbed twelve stones, matching the twelve tribes of Jacob, and God was like, "Israel's your name, no cap."

32He built an altar with those stones for the Lord and dug a trench around it, big enough to hold some serious seed.

33He stacked the wood right, chopped the bull, and laid it on the wood, then said, "Fill four barrels with water and drench the sacrifice and wood, fam."

34He was like, "Do it again." They did it again. Then he said, "One more time." They went for it a third time.

35The water flowed all around the altar, and he filled the trench with water too, straight up.

36When it was time for the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet stepped up and said, "Yo, Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, show everyone today that you're the real God and I'm your servant, doing all this on your word."

37"Listen up, Lord! Let the people know you're the Lord God and that you've turned their hearts back, periodt."

38Then fire from the Lord dropped down and burned up the sacrifice, wood, stones, dust, and even the water in the trench, straight savage.

39When the crowd saw it, they fell on their faces and were like, "The Lord is the God; the Lord is the God!"

40Elijah told them, "Catch the prophets of Baal; don’t let any escape." They rounded them up, and Elijah took them to the Kishon brook and took care of business there.

41Elijah told Ahab, "Yo, get up, eat and drink; there's a vibe of a major rainstorm coming."

42Ahab went to chow down and chill. Elijah hit the top of Carmel, laid down on the ground, and put his face between his knees, no cap.

43He told his servant, "Go check the sea." Dude went up, looked, and said, "There's nada." Elijah was like, "Try again seven times."

44On the seventh try, he said, "Yo, there's a tiny cloud rising from the sea, like a dude's hand." Elijah was like, "Go tell Ahab to prep his ride, or the rain's gonna catch him."

45Meanwhile, the sky was dark with clouds and wind, and it started pouring hard. Ahab dipped out to Jezreel.

46The Lord's power was on Elijah; he tightened his belt and sprinted ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel, fr.

1And 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.

2And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.

3And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly:

4For 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.)

5And 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.

6So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.

7And 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?

8And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.

9And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?

10As 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.

11And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.

12And 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.

13Was 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?

14And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me.

15And Elijah said, As the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day.

16So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.

17And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?

18And 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.

19Now 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.

20So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel.

21And 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.

22Then 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.

23Let 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:

24And 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.

25And 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.

26And 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.

27And 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.

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

29And 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.

30And 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.

31And 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:

32And 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.

33And 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.

34And 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.

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

36And 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.

37Hear 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.

38Then 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.

39And 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.

40And 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.

41And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.

42So 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,

43And 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.

44And 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.

45And 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.

46And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
