Eliyahu the Tishbi, who was of the foreigners of Gil`ad, said to Ach'av, As the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.
It happened after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Eliyahu, in the third year, saying, Go, show yourself to Ach'av; and I will send rain on the earth.
and Eliyahu said to them, Take the prophets of Ba`al; don't let one of them escape. They took them; and Eliyahu brought them down to the brook Kishon, and killed them there.
So Ach'av went up to eat and to drink. Eliyahu went up to the top of Karmel; and he bowed himself down on the earth, and put his face between his knees.
then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Yisra'el, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
