⁴¹ Elijah said to Ahab, Get you up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.

¹ Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the foreigners of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Yahweh, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.

¹ It happened after many days, that the word of Yahweh came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go, show yourself to Ahab; and I will send rain on the earth.

⁷ Go your way--eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works.

³⁴ Therefore I beg you to take some food, for this is for your safety; for not a hair will perish from any of your heads."
