And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink, for there is a sound of the rushing of rain.”
After many days the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, “Go, show yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain upon the earth.”
Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.
Now Elijah the Tishbite, of Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, before whom I stand, there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.”
Therefore I urge you to take some food. For it will give you strength, for not a hair is to perish from the head of any of you.”
