I Kings 18:16-45 And Elijah said to Ahab " Go eat and drink for there is a sound of heavy rain. So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel, bent down the ground and put his face between his knees. " Go look toward the sea he told his servant." Seven times Elijah said to him to go and look. Finally the servant told him" I saw a little cloud about the size of a man's hand rising from the sea. Then Elijah shouted " Hurry to Ahab and tell him " Climb into your chariot and go back home. If you don't hurry the rain will stop you." And soon the sky was black with clouds. A heavy wind brought a terrific rainstorm, and Ahab left quickly for Jezreel.
