Elijah Predicts a Drought

17 Now Elijah the Tishbite, of ^(A)Tishbe^[a] in Gilead, said to Ahab, ^(B)“As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, ^(C)before whom I stand, ^(D)there shall be neither dew nor rain these years, except by my word.”

⁵⁹ So ^(A)they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.

²⁶ And the king commanded Jerahmeel the ^(A)king's son and Seraiah the son of Azriel and ^(B)Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to seize ^(C)Baruch the secretary and Jeremiah the prophet, but the Lord hid them.

²⁰ There was another man who prophesied in the name of the Lord, Uriah the son of Shemaiah from ^(A)Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land in words like those of Jeremiah. ²¹ And when ^(B)King Jehoiakim, with all his warriors and all the officials, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death. But when Uriah heard of it, he was afraid and fled and escaped to Egypt. ²² Then ^(C)King Jehoiakim sent to Egypt certain men, ^(D)Elnathan the son of ^(E)Achbor and others with him, ²³ and they took Uriah from Egypt and brought him to King Jehoiakim, ^(F)who struck him down with the sword and dumped his dead body into the burial place of the common people.
