Starting point is 00:03:27 For the jar of flour was not used up. and the jar of oil did not run dry. In keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah, sometime later the son of the woman who owned the house became ill, he grew worse and worse and finally stopped breathing. She said to Elijah, what do you have against me, man of God? Did you come to remind me of my sin and kill my son? Give me your son, Elijah replied.
Starting point is 00:04:03 He took him from your arms. He carried him to the upper room where he was staying and laid him on his bed. Then he cried out to the Lord.

Oh, Lord, my God, let this boy's life return to him. The Lord heard Elijah's cry, and the boy's life returned to him, and he lived.
Starting point is 00:04:44 Elijah picked up the child and carried him down from the room into the house. He gave him to his mother and said, Look, your son is alive. Then the woman said to Elijah, now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the Lord from your mouth is the truth Elijah and about the 18 After a long time in the third year
Starting point is 00:05:18 the word of the Lord came to Elijah Go and present yourself to Ahab And I will send rain on the land So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria, and Ahab had summoned Abadya, who was in charge of his palace. Abadia was a devout believer in the Lord, while Jezebel was killing off the Lord's prophets.
Starting point is 00:05:54 Abadia had taken a hundred prophets and hid them, hitting them in two caves, 50 in each, and had supplied them with food and water. A hob had said to Abadya, Go through the land to all the springs and wolf valleys. Maybe we can find some grass to keep the horses and mules alive, so we will not have to kill any of our animals. So they divided the land they were to cover.
Starting point is 00:06:26 a hob going in one direction, Abadia and another. As Obadiah was walking along, Elijah met him. Abadia recognized him, bowed down to the ground and said, Is it really you? My Lord Elijah?
Starting point is 00:06:46 Yes, he replied. Go tell your master Elijah is here. What have I done wrong? Asked Abadia. that you are handing your servant over to a hob to be put to death as show us the Lord your God lives. There is not a nation or kingdom where my master has not sent someone to look for you. And whenever a nation or a kingdom claimed you were not there,
Starting point is 00:07:15 he made them swear they could not find you. But now you tell me to go to my master and say, Elijah is here? I don't know where the spirit of the Lord may carry you when I leave you. If I go and tell a haban, he doesn't find you, he will kill me. Yet I, your servant, have worshipped the Lord since my youth. Haven't you heard, my Lord, what I did while Jezebel was killing the prophets of the Lord? I hid a hundred of the Lord's prophets in two caves, 50 in each, and supplied them
Starting point is 00:07:53 with food and water, and now you tell me to go to my master and say, Elijah is here? He will kill me. Elijah said, as the Lord Almighty lives, whom I serve, I will surely present myself to a hob today. Elijah, I'm Mount Carmel. So Abadia went to meet the hob and told him, and the hob went to meet Elijah, when Tisa Elijah he said to him,
Starting point is 00:08:24 is that you, you troubler of Israel? I have not made trouble for Israel, Elijah replied, but you and your father's family have, you have abandoned the Lord's commands and have followed the ballas. Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel and bring the four hundred, 450 prophets
Starting point is 00:08:50 to Ball and the 400 prophets of Assyrah who eat at Jezebel's table. So I have sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel. Elijah went before the people and said, How long will you waver between two opinions? The Lord is God, follow him. But if ball is God, follow him.
Starting point is 00:09:19 but the people said nothing. Then Elijah said to them, I am the only one of the Lord's prophets left, but Ball has 450 prophets. Get two bulls for us. Let them choose one for themselves, and let them cut it into two pieces, into pieces and put it on the wood,
Starting point is 00:09:43 but not set fire to it. I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood, it not set fire to it. Then you call on the name of your God, and I will call on the name of the Lord. The God who answers by fire, he is God. Then all the people said, What you say is good.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Elijah said to the prophets a bull, choose one of the bulls and prepare it first, since there are so many of you. Call on the name of the Lord, on the name of your God, but do not light the fire. so they took the bull given them and prepared it. Then they called on the name of Ball from morning till noon.
Starting point is 00:10:31 Oh, ball, answer us, they shouted. But there was no response. No one answered and they danced around the altar they had made. At noon, Elijah began to taunt them. Shouts louder, he said. Surely he is. God. Perhaps he is in, he is deep in thought, or busy or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened, so they shouted louder and slashed themselves with swords and spears, as was their custom,
Starting point is 00:11:07 until their blood flowed, midday passed, and they continued their frantic, prophesizing until the time for the evening sacrifice. But there was no response. No one answered. No one paid attention. Then Elijah said to all the people, Come here to me. They came to him and he repaired the altar of the Lord, which was in ruins. Elijah took 12 stones, one for each of the tribes, descended from Jacob to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, Your name shall be Israel. With the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord, and he dug a trench around it, large enough to hold two seas of seed. He arranged the wood, cut the bull into two pieces, and laid it on the wood.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Then he said to them, fill four large jars with water and poured on the offering and on the wood. Do it again, he said, and they did it again. Do it a third time. He ordered and they did it the third time. The water ran down around the altar and even. filled the trench. At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed,
Starting point is 00:12:26 O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, will have been known today that you were a God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command? Answer me, O Lord. Answer me so these people will know that you, O Lord, are God
Starting point is 00:12:44 and that you are turning their hearts back again. Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, and the soil, and also looked up the water in the trench. When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried. The Lord, He is God. The Lord, he is God. Then Elijah commanded them.
Starting point is 00:13:08 Seize the prophets a ball. Don't let anyone get away. They seized them and Elijah had them brought down to the, kiss Sean Valley and slaughtered there. And Elijah said to Ahab, go eat and drink for there is a sound of a heavy rain. So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees. Go and look toward the sea, he told his servant. And he went up and looked.
Starting point is 00:13:42 There was nothing he said. Seven times Elijah said, go back. The seventh time the servant reported, a cloud has. small as a man's hand is rising from the sea. So Elijah said, go until a hob hits your chariot and go down before. The rain stops you. Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds. The wind rose.
Starting point is 00:14:03 A heavy rain came on and a hob rode out to Jesrael. The power of the Lord came upon Elijah and tucking his cloak into his boat, he ran ahead of a hob away to Jerusalem.
