ΒΑΣΙΛΕΙΩΝ Γ 18:39-43

³⁹Καὶ ἔπεσε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν, καὶ εἶπον, ἀληθῶς Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς αὐτὸς ὁ Θεός.

⁴⁰Καὶ εἶπεν Ἠλιοὺ πρὸς τὸν λαὸν, συλλάβετε τοὺς προφήτας τοῦ Βάαλ, μηδεὶς σωθήτω ἐξ αὐτῶν· καὶ συνελαβον αὐτοὺς, καὶ κατάγει αὐτοὺς Ἠλιοὺ εἰς τὸν χειμάῤῥουν Κισσῶν, καὶ ἔσφαξεν αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖ.

⁴¹Καὶ εἶπεν Ἠλιοὺ τῷ Ἀχαὰβ, ἀνάβηθι, καὶ φάγε καὶ πίε, ὅτι φωνὴ τῶν ποδῶν τοῦ ὑετοῦ.

⁴²Καὶ ἀνέβη Ἀχαὰβ τοῦ φαγεῖν καὶ πιεῖν· καὶ Ἠλιοὺ ἀνέβη ἐπὶ τὴν Κάρμηλον καὶ ἔκυψεν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν, καὶ ἔθηκε τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἀναμέσον τῶν γονάτων αὐτοῦ,

⁴³καὶ εἶπε τῷ παιδαρίῳ αὐτοῦ, ἀνάβηθι, καὶ ἐπίβλεψον ὁδὸν τῆς θαλάσσης· καὶ ἐπέβλεψε τὸ παιδάριον, καὶ εἶπεν, οὐκ ἔστιν οὐθέν· καὶ εἶπεν Ἠλιοὺ, καὶ σὺ ἐπίστρεψον ἑπτάκις.
