And the word of the Lord came to
him: “Depart from here and turn
eastward and hide yourself by the
brook Cherith, which is east of
the Jordan. You shall drink from
the brook, and I have commanded
the ravens to feed you there.” So
he went and did according to the
word of the Lord. He went and
lived by the brook Cherith that is
east of the Jordan. And the ravens
brought him bread and meat in the
morning, and bread and meat in the
evening, and he drank from the
brook. ...
(1 Kings 17:2-7)
ESV
For thus says the Lord, the God of
Israel, ‘The jar of flour shall
not be spent, and the jug of oil
shall not be empty, until the day
that the Lord sends rain upon the
earth.’” And she went and did as
Elijah said. And she and he and
her household ate for many days.
The jar of flour was not spent,
neither did the jug of oil become
empty, according to the word of
the Lord that he spoke by Elijah.
(1 Kings 17:14-16)
ESV
After this the son of the woman,
the mistress of the house, became
ill. And his illness was so severe
that there was no breath left in
him. And she said to Elijah, “What
have you against me, O man of God?
You have come to me to bring my
sin to remembrance and to cause
the death of my son!” And he said
to her, “Give me your son.” And he
took him from her arms and carried
him up into the upper chamber
where he lodged, and laid him on
his own bed. And he cried to
the Lord, “O Lord my God, have you
brought calamity even upon the
widow with whom I sojourn, by
killing her son?” Then he
stretched himself upon the child
three times and cried to the Lord,
“O Lord my God, let this child's
life come into him again.” ...
(1 Kings 17:17-24)
ESV
When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to
him, “Is it you, you troubler of
Israel?” And he answered, “I have
not troubled Israel, but you have,
and your father's house, because
you have abandoned the
commandments of the Lord and
followed the Baals. Now therefore
send and gather all Israel to me
at Mount Carmel, and the 450
prophets of Baal and the 400
prophets of Asherah, who eat at
Jezebel's table.” So Ahab sent to
all the people of Israel and
gathered the prophets together at
Mount Carmel.
(1 Kings 18:17-20)
ESV
Then Elijah said to the prophets
of Baal, “Choose for yourselves
one bull and prepare it first, for
you are many, and call upon the
name of your god, but put no fire
to it.” And they took the bull
that was given them, and they
prepared it and called upon the
name of Baal from morning until
noon, saying, “O Baal, answer us!”
But there was no voice, and no one
answered. And they limped around
the altar that they had made. And
at noon Elijah mocked them,
saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a
god. Either he is musing, or he is
relieving himself, or he is on a
journey, or perhaps he is asleep
and must be awakened.” And they
cried aloud and cut themselves
after their custom with swords and
lances, until the blood gushed out
upon them. And as midday passed,
they raved on until the time of
the offering of the oblation, but
there was no voice. No one
answered; no one paid attention.
(1 Kings 18:25-29)
ESV
And at the time of the offering of
the oblation, Elijah the prophet
came near and said, “O Lord, God
of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let
it be known this day that you are
God in Israel, and that I am your
servant, and that I have done all
these things at your word. Answer
me, O Lord, answer me, that this
people may know that you, O Lord,
are God, and that you have turned
their hearts back.” Then the fire
of the Lord fell and consumed the
burnt offering and the wood and
the stones and the dust, and
licked up the water that was in
the trench.
(1 Kings 18:36-38)
ESV
And Elijah said to them, “Seize
the prophets of Baal; let not one
of them escape.” And they seized
them. And Elijah brought them down
to the brook Kishon and
slaughtered them there.
(1 Kings 18:40)
ESV
And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up,
eat and drink, for there is a
sound of the rushing of rain.” So
Ahab went up to eat and to drink.
And Elijah went up to the top of
Mount Carmel. And he bowed himself
down on the earth and put his face
between his knees. And he said to
his servant, “Go up now, look
toward the sea.” And he went up
and looked and said, “There is
nothing.” And he said, “Go again,”
seven times. And at the seventh
time he said, “Behold, a little
cloud like a man's hand is rising
from the sea.” And he said, “Go
up, say to Ahab, ‘Prepare your
chariot and go down, lest the rain
stop you.’” And in a little while
the heavens grew black with clouds
and wind, and there was a great
rain. And Ahab rode and went to
Jezreel.
(1 Kings 18:41-45)
ESV
Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah
had done, and how he had killed
all the prophets with the sword.
Then Jezebel sent a messenger to
Elijah, saying, “So may the gods
do to me and more also, if I do
not make your life as the life of
one of them by this time
tomorrow.” Then he was afraid, and
he arose and ran for his life and
came to Beersheba, which belongs
to Judah, and left his servant
there. But he himself went a day's
journey into the wilderness and
came and sat down under a broom
tree. And he asked that he might
die, saying, “It is enough; now,
O Lord, take away my life, for I
am no better than my fathers.” And
he lay down and slept under a
broom tree. And behold, an angel
touched him and said to him,
“Arise and eat.” ...
(1 Kings 19:1-21)
ESV
And he arose and ate and drank,
and went in the strength of that
food forty days and forty nights
to Horeb, the mount of God.
(1 Kings 19:8)
ESV
There he came to a cave and lodged
in it. And behold, the word of
the Lord came to him, and he said
to him, “What are you doing here,
Elijah?” He said, “I have been
very jealous for the Lord, the God
of hosts. For the people of Israel
have forsaken your covenant,
thrown down your altars, and
killed your prophets with the
sword, and I, even I only, am
left, and they seek my life, to
take it away.” And he said, “Go
out and stand on the mount before
the Lord.” And behold,
the Lord passed by, and a great
and strong wind tore the mountains
and broke in pieces the rocks
before the Lord, but the Lord was
not in the wind. And after the
wind an earthquake, but
the Lord was not in the
earthquake. And after the
earthquake a fire, but
the Lord was not in the fire. And
after the fire the sound of a low
whisper. And when Elijah heard it,
he wrapped his face in his cloak
and went out and stood at the
entrance of the cave. And behold,
there came a voice to him and
said, “What are you doing here,
Elijah?” ...
(1 Kings 19:9-21)
ESV
Then the word of the Lord came to
Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
“Arise, go down to meet Ahab king
of Israel, who is in Samaria;
behold, he is in the vineyard of
Naboth, where he has gone to take
possession. And you shall say to
him, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Have
you killed and also taken
possession?”’ And you shall say to
him, ‘Thus says the Lord: “In the
place where dogs licked up the
blood of Naboth shall dogs lick
your own blood.”’” Ahab said to
Elijah, “Have you found me, O my
enemy?” He answered, “I have found
you, because you have sold
yourself to do what is evil in the
sight of the Lord. Behold, I will
bring disaster upon you. I will
utterly burn you up, and will cut
off from Ahab every male, bond or
free, in Israel. ...
(1 Kings 21:17-29)
ESV
They answered him, “He wore a
garment of hair, with a belt of
leather about his waist.” And he
said, “It is Elijah the Tishbite.”
(2 Kings 1:8)
ESV
But Elijah answered the captain of
fifty, “If I am a man of God, let
fire come down from heaven and
consume you and your fifty.” Then
fire came down from heaven and
consumed him and his fifty. Again
the king sent to him another
captain of fifty men with his
fifty. And he answered and said to
him, “O man of God, this is the
king's order, ‘Come down
quickly!’” But Elijah answered
them, “If I am a man of God, let
fire come down from heaven and
consume you and your fifty.” Then
the fire of God came down from
heaven and consumed him and his
fifty.
(2 Kings 1:10-12)
ESV
Now when the Lord was about to
take Elijah up to heaven by a
whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were
on their way from Gilgal. And
Elijah said to Elisha, “Please
stay here, for the Lord has sent
me as far as Bethel.” But Elisha
said, “As the Lord lives, and as
you yourself live, I will not
leave you.” So they went down to
Bethel. And the sons of the
prophets who were in Bethel came
out to Elisha and said to him, “Do
you know that today the Lord will
take away your master from over
you?” And he said, “Yes, I know
it; keep quiet.” Elijah said to
him, “Elisha, please stay here,
for the Lord has sent me to
Jericho.” But he said, “As
the Lord lives, and as you
yourself live, I will not leave
you.” So they came to Jericho. The
sons of the prophets who were at
Jericho drew near to Elisha and
said to him, “Do you know that
today the Lord will take away your
master from over you?” And he
answered, “Yes, I know it; keep
quiet.” ...
(2 Kings 2:1-25)
ESV
And as they still went on and
talked, behold, chariots of fire
and horses of fire separated the
two of them. And Elijah went up by
a whirlwind into heaven.
(2 Kings 2:11)
ESV
And after six days Jesus took with
him Peter and James, and John his
brother, and led them up a high
mountain by themselves. And he was
transfigured before them, and his
face shone like the sun, and his
clothes became white as light. And
behold, there appeared to them
Moses and Elijah, talking with
him. And Peter said to Jesus,
“Lord, it is good that we are
here. If you wish, I will make
three tents here, one for you and
one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
He was still speaking when,
behold, a bright cloud
overshadowed them, and a voice
from the cloud said, “This is my
beloved Son, with whom I am well
pleased; listen to him.” ...
(Matthew 17:1-9)
ESV
And the disciples asked him, “Then
why do the scribes say that first
Elijah must come?” He answered,
“Elijah does come, and he will
restore all things. But I tell you
that Elijah has already come, and
they did not recognize him, but
did to him whatever they pleased.
So also the Son of Man will
certainly suffer at their hands.”
(Matthew 17:10-12)
ESV
And he will go before him in the
spirit and power of Elijah, to
turn the hearts of the fathers to
the children, and the disobedient
to the wisdom of the just, to make
ready for the Lord a people
prepared.
(Luke 1:17)
ESV
And behold, two men were talking
with him, Moses and Elijah,
(Luke 9:30)
ESV
Elijah was a man with a nature
like ours, and he prayed fervently
that it might not rain, and for
three years and six months it did
not rain on the earth.
