1 Kings 18:42 in Context — 1 Kings 18
40 Saisissez les prophètes de Baal, leur dit Élie; qu’aucun d’eux n’échappe! Et ils les saisirent. Élie les fit descendre au torrent de Kison, où il les égorgea.
41 Et Élie dit à Achab: Monte, mange et bois; car il se fait un bruit qui annonce la pluie.
42 Achab monta pour manger et pour boire. Mais Élie monta au sommet du Carmel; et, se penchant contre terre, il mit son visage entre ses genoux,
43 et dit à son serviteur: Monte, regarde du côté de la mer. Le serviteur monta, il regarda, et dit: Il n’y a rien. Élie dit sept fois: Retourne.
44 A la septième fois, il dit: Voici un petit nuage qui s’élève de la mer, et qui est comme la paume de la main d’un homme. Élie dit: Monte, et dis à Achab: Attelle et descends, afin que la pluie ne t’arrête pas.
