| 1st-Kings 18:1 | Now after a long time, the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go and let Ahab see you, so that I may send rain on the earth. | And it came to pass after many days, that the word of Jehovah came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself to Ahab; and I will send rain upon the face of the earth. | 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. |
| 1st-Kings 18:2 | So Elijah went to let Ahab see him. Now there was no food to be had in Samaria. | And Elijah went to shew himself to Ahab. And the famine was severe in Samaria. | Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. The famine was sore in Samaria. |
| 1st-Kings 18:3 | And Ahab sent for Obadiah, the controller of the king's house. (Now Obadiah had the fear of the Lord before him greatly; | And Ahab called Obadiah, who was the steward of his house (now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly; | Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared Yahweh greatly: |
| 1st-Kings 18:4 | For when Jezebel was cutting off the prophets of the Lord, Obadiah took a hundred of them, and kept them secretly in a hole in the rock, fifty at a time, and gave them bread and water.) | and it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and maintained them with bread and water); | for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Yahweh, that Obadiah took one hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.) |
| 1st-Kings 18:5 | And Ahab said to Obadiah, Come, let us go through all the country, to all the fountains of water and all the rivers, and see if there is any grass to be had for the horses and the transport beasts, so that we may be able to keep some of the beasts from destruction. | and Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land, to all the fountains of water and to all the torrents, perhaps we may find grass to save the horses and the mules alive, so that we may not have to destroy some of [our] beasts. | Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land, to all the springs of water, and to all the brooks: peradventure we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we not lose all the animals. |
| 1st-Kings 18:6 | So they went through all the country, covering it between them; Ahab went in one direction by himself, and Obadiah went in another by himself. | And they divided the land between them to pass through it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. | So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. |
| 1st-Kings 18:7 | And while Obadiah was on his way, he came face to face with Elijah; and seeing who it was, he went down on his face and said, Is it you, my lord Elijah? | And as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him; and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it indeed thou, my lord Elijah? | As Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it you, my lord Elijah? |
| 1st-Kings 18:8 | And Elijah in answer said, It is I; now go and say to your lord, Elijah is here. | And he said to him, I [am he]: go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah! | He answered him, It is I: go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah [is here]. |

| 1st-Kings 18:10 | By the life of the Lord your God, there is not a nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent in search of you; and when they said, He is not here; he made them take an oath that they had not seen you. | As Jehovah thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom whither my lord has not sent to seek thee; and when they said, He is not [here], he took an oath of the kingdom or nation that they found thee not. | As Yahweh your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom, where my lord has not sent to seek you: and when they said, He is not here, he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they didn't find you. |
| 1st-Kings 18:11 | And now you say, Go, say to your lord, Elijah is here. | And now thou sayest, Go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah! | Now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah [is here]. |
| 1st-Kings 18:12 | And straight away, when I have gone from you, the spirit of the Lord will take you away, I have no idea where, so that when I come and give word to Ahab, and he sees you not, he will put me to death: though I, your servant, have been a worshipper of the Lord from my earliest years. | And it shall come to pass when I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of Jehovah shall carry thee whither I know not; and when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he will kill me; and I thy servant fear Jehovah from my youth. | It will happen, as soon as I am gone from you, that the Spirit of Yahweh will carry you I don't know where; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he can't find you, he will kill me: but I your servant fear Yahweh from my youth. |
| 1st-Kings 18:13 | Has my lord not had word of what I did when Jezebel was putting the Lord's prophets to death? how I kept a hundred of them in a secret hole in the rock, fifty at a time, and gave them bread and water? | Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of Jehovah, how I hid a hundred men of Jehovah's prophets by fifty in a cave, and maintained them with bread and water? | Wasn't it told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of Yahweh, how I hid one hundred men of Yahweh's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water? |
| 1st-Kings 18:14 | And now you say, Go and say to your Lord, Elijah is here; and he will put me to death. | And now thou sayest, Go, say to thy lord, Behold Elijah! and he will kill me. | Now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah [is here]; and he will kill me. |
| 1st-Kings 18:15 | And Elijah said, By the life of the Lord of armies, whose servant I am, I will certainly let him see me today. | And Elijah said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will certainly shew myself to him to-day. | Elijah said, As Yahweh of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today. |

| 1st-Kings 18:17 | And when he saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, Is it you, you troubler of Israel? | And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is it thou, the troubler of Israel? | It happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Is it you, you troubler of Israel? |
| 1st-Kings 18:18 | Then he said in answer, I have not been troubling Israel, but you and your family; because, turning away from the orders of the Lord, you have gone after the Baals. | And he said, I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of Jehovah, and thou hast followed the Baals. | He answered, I have not troubled Israel; but you, and your father's house, in that you have forsaken the commandments of Yahweh, and you have followed the Baals. |

| 1st-Kings 18:23 | Now, let them give us two oxen; and let them take one for themselves, and have it cut up, and put it on the wood, but put no fire under it; I will get the other ox ready, and put it on the wood, and put no fire under it. | Let them therefore give us two bullocks: and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and put it on the wood, and put no fire; and I will sacrifice the other bullock, and put it on the wood, and put no fire. | Let them therefore give us two bulls; and let them choose one bull for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under; and I will dress the other bull, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire under. |
| 1st-Kings 18:24 | And do you make prayers to your god, and I will make a prayer to the Lord: and it will be clear that the one who gives an answer by fire is God.
