1 Kings 18:44-46

New International Reader's Version

⁴⁴ The seventh time the servant said, “I see a cloud. It’s as small as a man’s hand. It’s coming up over the sea.”

Elijah said, “Go to Ahab. Tell him, ‘Tie your chariot to your horse. Go down to Jezreel before the rain stops you.’ ”

⁴⁵ Black clouds filled the sky. The wind came up, and a heavy rain began to fall. Ahab rode off to Jezreel. ⁴⁶ The power of the Lord came on Elijah. He tucked his coat into his belt. And he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.
