1 Kings 18:41-44

1 Kings 18:41-44 NCV

Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Now, go, eat, and drink, because a heavy rain is coming.” So King Ahab went to eat and drink. At the same time Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel, where he bent down to the ground with his head between his knees. Then Elijah said to his servant, “Go and look toward the sea.” The servant went and looked. “I see nothing,” he said. Elijah told him to go and look again. This happened seven times. The seventh time, the servant said, “I see a small cloud, the size of a human fist, coming from the sea.” Elijah told the servant, “Go to Ahab and tell him to get his chariot ready and go home now. Otherwise, the rain will stop him.”
