Did elijah study the bible3/30/2024 ![]() Let the God who answers by fire be our God!” 24 Then you can call on the name of your god, and I’ll call on the name of the Lord. I will prepare the other ox and lay it on top of some wood, and I won’t set fire to it. Cut it up, lay it on top of some wood, but don’t set fire to it. If Baal, go after him.”Ģ2 So Elijah told the people, “I’m the only one left over as a prophet of the Lord, am I? But Baal’s prophets number 450 men? 23 So let them provide two oxen. Bring along 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of the Asherah who are funded at Jezebel’s expense.” Elijah Defeats the Prophets of BaalĢ0 Ahab sent for the Israelis and brought the prophets together at Mount Carmel, 21 where Elijah approached all the people and asked them, “How long will you keep hesitating between both sides? If the Lord is God, go after him. 19 So go gather all of Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. But you and your ancestor’s household have been doing that, because you have abandoned the Lord’s commandments and have followed the Baals. 17 When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab asked him, “Is it really you, you destroyer of Israel?”ġ8 But Elijah replied, “I’m no destroyer of Israel. 14 Now you’re saying, ‘Go tell your master, “Elijah’s here!”’ He’s sure to kill me!”ġ5 But Elijah promised him, “As the Lord of the Heavenly Armies lives, in whose presence I stand, I will appear to Ahab today.”ġ6 So Obadiah went out to meet Ahab and reported to him. ![]() 11 But now you’re saying ‘Go tell your master, “Elijah is here!”’ 12 As soon as I’ve left you, the Spirit of the Lord will carry you off to I don’t know where!

I hid 100 of the Lord’s prophets by fifties in a cave and provided food and water for them. Whenever they would say ‘He isn’t here,’ he forced that kingdom or nation to swear that they hadn’t seen you. “Go tell your master, ‘Look! Elijah!’”ĩ But Obadiah replied, “What did I do wrong, that you would put me in a position where Ahab would execute me? 10 As surely as the Lord your God lives, there isn’t a nation or kingdom where my master hasn’t tried to find you. “It’s you, isn’t it, my master Elijah?”Ĩ “I am,” he replied. Obadiah recognized him and bowed down with his face to the ground. Ahab went off by himself in one direction and Obadiah went off by himself in the other.ħ While Obadiah was on the road, Elijah met him. Also, maybe we won’t have to kill some of our cattle.” 6 So they divided the land between them so they could conduct their survey. Maybe we’ll find some grass to keep the horses and mules alive. This man, who feared the Lord very much, 4 had taken 100 prophets and had hidden them by fifties in a cave, providing them with food and water when Jezebel was trying to destroy the Lord’s prophets.ĥ Ahab had instructed Obadiah, “Go throughout the land to all of the water springs and to all of the valleys. ![]() 18 Quite some time later-three years later!-this message from the Lord came to Elijah: “Go visit Ahab, and I’ll send some rain to the surface of the ground.” 2 So Elijah went to show himself to Ahab, right when the famine in Samaria was most severe.ģ Ahab called for Obadiah, his household supervisor.
