1 Kings 18:43-46

New American Standard Bible

⁴³ And he said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked, but he said, “There is nothing.” Yet Elijah said, “Go back” seven times. ⁴⁴ And when he returned the seventh time, he said, “Behold, ^(A)a cloud as small as a person’s hand is coming up from the sea.” And Elijah said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Harness your chariot horses and go down, so that the heavy shower does not stop you.’” ⁴⁵ Meanwhile the sky became dark with clouds and wind came up, and there was a heavy shower. And Ahab rode and went to ^(B)Jezreel. ⁴⁶ Then ^(C)the hand of the Lord was on Elijah, and ^(D)he ^[a]belted his cloak around his waist and ^[b]outran Ahab ^[c]to Jezreel.
