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.
He built towers in the wilderness, and hewed out many cisterns, for he had much livestock; in the lowland also, and in the plain: [and he had] farmers and vineyard keepers in the mountains and in the fruitful fields; for he loved farming.
It will blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing. Levanon's glory Levanon will be given to it, the excellence of Karmel and Sharon. They will see the LORD's glory, the excellence of our God.
Shemu'el rose early to meet Sha'ul in the morning; and it was told Shemu'el, saying, Sha'ul came to Karmel, and behold, he set him up a monument, and turned, and passed on, and went down to Gilgal.
Sha'ul and his men went to seek him. When David was told, he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Ma`on. When Sha'ul heard [that], he pursued after David in the wilderness of Ma`on.
There was a man in Ma`on, whose possessions were in Karmel; and the man was very great, and he had three thousand sheep, and a thousand goats: and he was shearing his sheep in Karmel.
Now I have heard that you have shearers: your shepherds have now been with us, and we did them no hurt, neither was there anything missing to them, all the while they were in Karmel.
