⁴¹ Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a rainstorm.”^(A)

⁴² So Ahab went to eat and drink, but Elijah went up to the summit of Carmel.^(B) He bent down on the ground and put his face between his knees.^{(C) 43} Then he said to his servant, “Go up and look toward the sea.”

So he went up, looked, and said, “There’s nothing.”

Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.”
