1 Tuʻi 18:39-43

³⁹Pea ʻi he mamata ʻae kakai ki ai, naʻa nau tō hifo ki honau mata: pea naʻa nau pehē, “Ko Sihova, ko e ʻOtua pe ia; ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua pe ia.”

⁴⁰Naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kiate kinautolu, “Puke mai ʻae kau kikite ʻa Peali; ʻoua naʻa tuku ke hao hanau tokotaha.” Pea naʻa nau puke ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe ʻohifo kinautolu ʻe ʻIlaisiā ki he vaitafe ko Kisoni, mo ne tāmateʻi kinautolu ʻi ai.

⁴¹Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIlaisiā kia ʻEhapi, “Ke ke tuʻu hake, mo ke kai mo inu; he ʻoku longolongo ʻuha lahi ʻaupito.”

⁴²Ko ia naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa ʻEhapi ke ne kai mo inu. Pea naʻe ʻalu hake ʻa ʻIlaisiā ki he tumutumu ʻo Kameli; pea naʻa ne fakato hifo ia ki he kelekele, pea ne ʻai hono mata ki hono vahaʻa tui,

⁴³Pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene tamaioʻeiki, “ʻAlu hake eni ʻo sio atu ki tahi.” Pea naʻa ne ʻalu hake, mo ne sio, pea ne pehē, “ʻOku ʻikai ha meʻa.” Pea naʻa ne pehē, “Ke ke toe ʻalu ke liunga fitu.”
