1 Kings18:41
41 ¶ And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up , eat and drink , for there is a sound of abundance of rain .
From the River, where the King and he had been present at the slaughter of Baal's Priests, to thy Tent: which probably was pitched on the side of Carmel.
Take comfort, and refresh thy self: for neither the King, nor any of the People could have any leasure to eat, being wholly inrent upon the decision of the great controversy.
The Rain is as certainly and speedily coming, as if I did actually see it, or hear the noise which it makes. Gods wrath is now appeased, and thou shalt have no cause to repent of this days work.
Marginal references: Or, a sound of a noise of rain.
