1 Kings 18-19 New Living Translation (NLT) The Contest on Mount Carmel 18 Later on, in the third year of the drought, the Lord said to Elijah, “Go and present yourself to King Ahab. Tell him that I will soon send rain!” 2 So Elijah went to appear before Ahab. Meanwhile, the famine had become very severe in Samaria. 3 So Ahab summoned Obadiah, who was in charge of the palace. (Obadiah was a devoted follower of the Lord. 4 Once when Jezebel had tried to kill all the Lord’s prophets, Obadiah had hidden 100 of them in two caves. He put fifty prophets in each cave and supplied them with food and water.) 5 Ahab said to Obadiah, “We must check every spring and valley in the land to see if we can find enough grass to save at least some of my horses and mules.” 6 So they divided the land between them. Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. 7 As Obadiah was walking along, he suddenly saw Elijah coming toward him. Obadiah recognized him at once and bowed low to the ground before him. “Is it really you, my lord Elijah?” he asked. 8 “Yes, it is,” Elijah replied. “Now go and tell your master, ‘Elijah is here.’” 9 “Oh, sir,” Obadiah protested, “what harm have I done to you that you are sending me to my death at the hands of Ahab? 10 For I swear by the Lord your God that the king has searched every nation and kingdom on earth from end to end to find you. And each time he was told, ‘Elijah isn’t here,’ King Ahab forced the king of that nation to swear to the truth of his claim. 11 And now you say, ‘Go and tell your master, “Elijah is here.”’ 12 But as soon as I leave you, the Spirit of the Lord will carry you away to who knows where. When Ahab comes and cannot find you, he will kill me. Yet I have been a true servant of the Lord all my life. 13 Has no one told you, my lord, about the time when Jezebel was trying to kill the Lord’s prophets? I hid 100 of them in two caves and supplied them with food and water. 14 And now you say, ‘Go and tell your master, “Elijah is here.”’ Sir, if I do that, Ahab will certainly kill me.” 15 But Elijah said, “I swear by the Lord Almighty, in whose presence I stand, that I will present myself to Ahab this very day.” 16 So Obadiah went to tell Ahab that Elijah had come, and Ahab went out to meet Elijah. 17 When Ahab saw him, he exclaimed, “So, is it really you, you troublemaker of Israel?” 18 “I have made no trouble for Israel,” Elijah replied. “You and your family are the troublemakers, for you have refused to obey the commands of the Lord and have worshiped the images of Baal instead. 19 Now summon all Israel to join me at Mount Carmel, along with the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of Asherah who are supported by Jezebel.” 20 So Ahab summoned all the people of Israel and the prophets to Mount Carmel. 21 Then Elijah stood in front of them and said, “How much longer will you waver, hobbling between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him! But if Baal is God, then follow him!” But the people were completely silent. 22 Then Elijah said to them, “I am the only prophet of the Lord who is left, but Baal has 450 prophets. 23 Now bring two bulls. The prophets of Baal may choose whichever one they wish and cut it into pieces and lay it on the wood of their altar, but without setting fire to it. I will prepare the other bull and lay it on the wood on the altar, but not set fire to it. 24 Then call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord. The god who answers by setting fire to the wood is the true God!” And all the people agreed. 25 Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “You go first, for there are many of you. Choose one of the bulls, and prepare it and call on the name of your god. But do not set fire to the wood.” 26 So they prepared one of the bulls and placed it on the altar. Then they called on the name of Baal from morning until noontime, shouting, “O Baal, answer us!” But there was no reply of any kind. Then they danced, hobbling around the altar they had made. 27 About noontime Elijah began mocking them. “You’ll have to shout louder,” he scoffed, “for surely he is a god! Perhaps he is daydreaming, or is relieving himself. Or maybe he is away on a trip, or is asleep and needs to be wakened!” 28 So they shouted louder, and following their normal custom, they cut themselves with knives and swords until the blood gushed out. 29 They raved all afternoon until the time of the evening sacrifice, but still there was no sound, no reply, no response. 30 Then Elijah called to the people, “Come over here!” They all crowded around him as he repaired the altar of the Lord that had been torn down. 31 He took twelve stones, one to represent each of the tribes of Israel, 32 and he used the stones to rebuild the altar in the name of the Lord. Then he dug a trench around the altar large enough to hold about three gallons. 33 He piled wood on the altar, cut the bull into pieces, and laid the pieces on the wood. Then he said, “Fill four large jars with water, and pour the water over the offering and the wood.” 34 After they had done this, he said, “Do the same thing again!” And when they were finished, he said, “Now do it a third time!” So they did as he said, 35 and the water ran around the altar and even filled the trench. 36 At the usual time for offering the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet walked up to the altar and prayed, “O Lord, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, prove today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant. Prove that I have done all this at your command. 37 O Lord, answer me! Answer me so these people will know that you, O Lord, are God and that you have brought them back to yourself.” 38 Immediately the fire of the Lord flashed down from heaven and burned up the young bull, the wood, the stones, and the dust. It even licked up all the water in the trench! 39 And when all the people saw it, they fell face down on the ground and cried out, “The Lord—he is God! Yes, the Lord is God!” 40 Then Elijah commanded, “Seize all the prophets of Baal. Don’t let a single one escape!” So the people seized them all, and Elijah took them down to the Kishon Valley and killed them there. Elijah Prays for Rain 41 Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go get something to eat and drink, for I hear a mighty rainstorm coming!” 42 So Ahab went to eat and drink. But Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and bowed low to the ground and prayed with his face between his knees. 43 Then he said to his servant, “Go and look out toward the sea.” The servant went and looked, then returned to Elijah and said, “I didn’t see anything.” Seven times Elijah told him to go and look. 44 Finally the seventh time, his 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!’” 45 And soon the sky was black with clouds. A heavy wind brought a terrific rainstorm, and Ahab left quickly for Jezreel. 46 Then the Lord gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab’s chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel. Elijah Flees to Sinai 19 When Ahab got home, he told Jezebel everything Elijah had done, including the way he had killed all the prophets of Baal. 2 So Jezebel sent this message to Elijah: “May the gods strike me and even kill me if by this time tomorrow I have not killed you just as you killed them.” 3 Elijah was afraid and fled for his life. He went to Beersheba, a town in Judah, and he left his servant there. 4 Then he went on alone into the wilderness, traveling all day. He sat down under a solitary broom tree and prayed that he might die. “I have had enough, Lord,” he said. “Take my life, for I am no better than my ancestors who have already died.” 5 Then he lay down and slept under the broom tree. But as he was sleeping, an angel touched him and told him, “Get up and eat!” 6 He looked around and there beside his head was some bread baked on hot stones and a jar of water! So he ate and drank and lay down again. 7 Then the angel of the Lord came again and touched him and said, “Get up and eat some more, or the journey ahead will be too much for you.” 8 So he got up and ate and drank, and the food gave him enough strength to travel forty days and forty nights to Mount Sinai, the mountain of God. 9 There he came to a cave, where he spent the night. The Lord Speaks to Elijah But the Lord said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 10 Elijah replied, “I have zealously served the Lord God Almighty. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed every one of your prophets. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.” 11 “Go out and stand before me on the mountain,” the Lord told him. And as Elijah stood there, the Lord passed by, and a mighty windstorm hit the mountain. It was such a terrible blast that the rocks were torn loose, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And a voice said, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” 14 He replied again, “I have zealously served the Lord God Almighty. But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed every one of your prophets. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.” 15 Then the Lord told him, “Go back the same way you came, and travel to the wilderness of Damascus. When you arrive there, anoint Hazael to be king of Aram. 16 Then anoint Jehu grandson of Nimshi to be king of Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat from the town of Abel-meholah to replace you as my prophet. 17 Anyone who escapes from Hazael will be killed by Jehu, and those who escape Jehu will be killed by Elisha! 18 Yet I will preserve 7,000 others in Israel who have never bowed down to Baal or kissed him!” The Call of Elisha 19 So Elijah went and found Elisha son of Shaphat plowing a field. There were twelve teams of oxen in the field, and Elisha was plowing with the twelfth team. Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak across his shoulders and then walked away. 20 Elisha left the oxen standing there, ran after Elijah, and said to him, “First let me go and kiss my father and mother good-bye, and then I will go with you!” Elijah replied, “Go on back, but think about what I have done to you.” 21 So Elisha returned to his oxen and slaughtered them. He used the wood from the plow to build a fire to roast their flesh. He passed around the meat to the townspeople, and they all ate. Then he went with Elijah as his assistant.

1 राजा 18Nepali Bible: Easy-to-Read Version (ERV-NE) एलिया र बालका अगमवक्ताहरू 18 खडेरी परेको तेस्रो बर्ष परमप्रभुले एलियालाई भन्नुभयो, “जाऊ र राजा आहाबसँग भेट गर। म साँच्चै पानी पठाउने छु।” 2 यस कारण एलिया आहाब सँग भेंट गर्न गए। त्यस समयमा सामरियामा खाद्य थिएन। 3 यसकारण राजा आहाबले ओबद्यालाई आफ्नो समक्ष बोलाए। ओबद्या राजाको महलको दायित्वमा थिए। (ओबद्या परमप्रभुको साँचो भक्त थिए।) 4 एक समय जब ईजेबेल सबै परमप्रभुका अगमवक्ताहरूको हत्या गरिहरेकी थिई, त्यस बेला ओबद्याले 100 अगमवक्ताहरूलाई लिएर गए अनि तिनीहरूलाई दुइवटा ओढारमा लुकाए। ओबद्याले 50 जना अगमवक्ताहरूलाई एउटा ओढारमा अनि अरू 50 जनालाई अर्को ओढारमा लुकाए। तब ओबद्याले तिनीहरूका लागि खाद्य र पानी ल्याए। 5 राजा आहाबले ओबद्यालाई भने, “म सित आऊ। हामीले प्रत्येक पानीको मुहान र नदीको किनार पाउनेछौं। हुनुसक्छ हाम्रा घोडाहरू र गधाहरू जीवित राख्नुलाई प्रशस्त मात्रमा घाँस पाउनु सक्छौं। होइन भने, हामी तिनीहरूलाई गुमाउने छौ।” 6 प्रत्येक मानिसले देशको एउटा अंश छाने जहाँ तिनीहरू पानी खोज्न जाने छन्। तब दुइ जना मानिसहरूले सम्पूर्ण देश भ्रमण गरे। आहाब एउटा दिशातिर एक्लै हिंडे। ओबद्या अर्को दिशातिर एक्लै हिंडे। 7 ओबद्या भ्रमण गरिरहेको बेला उनले एलियालाई भेटे। ओबद्याले एलियालाई चिने जब उनले उनलाई देखे। ओबद्याले एलिया अघि टाउको निहुराए। उनले भने, “एलिया! के तिमी साँच्चै मालिक हौ?” 8 एलियाले उत्तर दिए, “हो म नै हुँ। जाऊ अनि आफ्नो मालिक राजालाई भन, म यहाँ छु।” 9 तब ओबद्याले भने, “यदि मैले आहाबलाई तिमी कहाँ छौ बताएँ भने उनले मलाई मार्नेछन्। मैले तिमी प्रति कुनै भूल गरेको छैन! तिमी किन मलाई मार्न चाहन्छौ? 10 परमप्रभु जस्तैं तिम्रा परमेश्वर निश्चित रूपले जीवित हुनुहुन्छ राजा हरेक ठाउँमा तिमीलाई खोजी रहेका छन्! उनले तिमीलाई खोज्न प्रत्येक देशमा मानिसहरू पठाए। यदि एउटा देशका शासकले भने, तिमी यस देशमा छैनौ, तब आहाबले शासकलाई तिमी यहाँ छैनौ भनी प्रतिज्ञा गर्न लगाए। 11 अहिले तपाईं चहानुहुन्छ म त्यहाँ जाऊँ अनि उसलाई तपाईं यहाँ हुनुहुन्छ भनी बताऊँ। 12 यदि म राजा आहाबलाई तपाईं यहाँ हुनुहुन्छ भनेर बताउन गएँ भने, परमप्रभुको आत्माले तपाईंलाई अन्य कही पुर्याउनेछ। राजा आहाब यहाँ आउने छन् अनि उसले तपाईंलाई पाउने छैनन्। तब उहाँले मलाई मार्ने छन्! जब म बालक थिए त्यस बेलादेखि नै परमप्रभुको अनुशरण गरें। 13 तिमीले थाह पायौ मैले के गरें! ईजेबेलले परमप्रभुका अगमवक्ताहरूलाई मारिरहेकी थिई अनि मैले 100 अगमवक्ताहरूलाई ओढारमा लुकाएँ। मैले 50 जना अगमवक्ताहरूलाई एउटा ओढारमा अनि अरू 50 अगमवक्ताहरूलाई अर्को ओढारमा राखें। मैले तिनीहरूका लागि खाद्य र पानी ल्याएँ। 14 अहिले तपाईं चाहानुहुन्छ म त्यहाँ गएर तपाईं यहाँ हुनुहुन्छ भनी भन्दा राजाले मलाई मार्नेछन्!” 15 एलियाले उत्तर दिए, “परमप्रभु सर्व-शक्तिमानको नाउँमा निश्चित रूपमा रहे झैं जसको म सेवा गर्छु। म शपथ खाएर भन्दछु कि आज म राजा अघि उभिनेछु।” 16 यसकारण ओबद्या राजा आहाब कहाँ गए। उनले एलिया कहाँछन् भनी उनलाई बताए। राजा आहाब एलियालाई भेट्न गए। 17 जब आहाबले एलियालाई देखे उनले भने, “के यो तिमी नै हौ? तिमी नै त्यो मानिस हौ जसले इस्राएलमा सङ्कट सृष्टि गरेको छ?” 18 तब एलियाले उत्तर दिए, “मैले इस्राएलमा सङ्कट सृष्टि गरेको होइन। तपाईं र तपाईंका परिवारले यो सङ्कट सृष्टि गरेको हुन्। तपाईंले सङ्कट त्यस बेला सृष्टि गर्नुभयो जति बेला तपाईंले परमप्रभुको आदेश पालन गर्नुभएन अनि बालको अनुशरण गर्नुभयो। 19 अहिले, सबै इस्राएलीहरूलाई डाँडामाथि मलाई भेट्न भन्नुहोस्। त्यस ठाउँमा बालका 450 जना अगमवक्ताहरूलाई पनि ल्याउनुहोस। अनि असत्य देवी अशेराका 400 अगमवक्ताहरूलाई पनि ल्याउनुहोस। रानी इजेबेलले ती अगमवक्ताहरूको समर्थन गर्छिन्।” 20 यसकारण आहाबले सबै इस्राएलीहरू र अगमवक्ताहरूलाई कर्मेल डाँडामा बोलाए। 21 एलिया ती मानिसहरू समक्ष आएर। उनले भने, “तिमीहरू कसलाई अनुशरण गर्ने हौ यसका निर्णय कहिले लिनेहो। यदि परमप्रभु नै सत्य परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ भने तिमीहरू उहाँलाई नै अनुशरण गर। यदि बाल नै सत्य देवता हो भने तब उनैलाई अनुशरण गर!” मानिसहरूले केही बोलेनन्। 22 एलियाले भने, “म परमप्रभुको एक मात्र अगमवक्ता हुँ! यहाँ म एक्लै छु। तर यहाँ बालका 450 जना अगमवक्ताहरू छन्। 23 यसकारण दुइवटा साँढे ल्याऊ। बालका अगमवक्ताहरूले एउटा साँढे लिऊन्। तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई मारून् र काटेर टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारून्। त्यसपछि तिनीहरूले मासु दाउरमाथि राखून्। तर तिनीहरू आगो बाल्न पाउने छैनन्। त्यसपछि अर्को साँढेलाई म त्यसै गर्छु। म पनि आगो बाल्न शुरू गर्दिन। 24 बालका अगमवक्ताहरूले उनीहरूको देवतालाई प्रार्थना गर्नेछन् अनि म मेरा परमप्रभुलाई प्रार्थना गर्नेछु। जुन परमेश्वरले प्रार्थना सुनेर दाउरा बल्न शुरू गर्छन, तिनै सत्य परमेश्वर हुनेछन्।” सबै मानिसहरूले यसलाई राम्रो विचार भनेर समर्थन गरे। 25 तब एलियाले बालका अगमवक्ताहरूलाई भने, “तिमीहरू धेरै छौ। यसकारण पहिला तिमीहरूनै शुरू गर। एउटा साँढे छान अनि तयार गर। तिम्रा देवतालाई पुकार तर आगो बाल्न पाइनेछैन।” 26 यसकारण अगमवक्ताहरूले साँढे लिए, जो उनीहरूलाई दिइएको थियो। तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई तयार बनाए। तिनीहरूले विहान देखि मध्यानसम्म प्रार्थना गरे। तिनीहरूले प्रार्थना गरे, “हे बाल, कृपया हामीलाई उत्तर देऊ!” तर कुनै आवाज आएन। कसैले उत्तर दिएन। अगमवक्ताहरू वेदीको वरिपरि नाचे जसलाई तिनीहरूले बनाएका थिए। तर आगो बल्दै बलेन। 27 दिउँसोतिर एलियाले तिनीहरूको खिसी गरे। एलियाले भने, “यदि बाल साँच्चै नै देवता हुन् भने हुन्छ, जोडसित प्रार्थना गर्नुपर्छ! हुन सक्छ, उनी सोच्दै छन्! अथवा हुन सक्छ उनी व्यस्त छन्! अथवा हुन सक्छ उनी भ्रमण गर्दैछन्! उनी सुती रहेको हुन सक्छ। हुन सक्छ तपाईंहरूले जोरसित प्रार्थना गर्दा उनी उठ्न सक्छन्!” 28 अनि ती अगमवक्ताहरूले जोरसित प्रार्थना गरे। तिनीहरूले तरवार र भालाले काटे। (तिनीहरूले पूजा गर्ने यस्तैं तरीका थियो।) तिनीहरूले आफूमाथि प्रहार गरिरहे जबसम्म तिनीहरूको शरीर रक्ताम्मे भएन। 29 मध्यदिन बित्यो तर आगो बलेको थिएन। अगमवक्ताहरू बेलुकीको बलिदान चढाउने समयसम्म तिनीहरूको व्याकुलता कार्यहरू गरिरहे, तर केही पनि भएन। बालबाट कुनै उत्तर आएन। कुनै आवाज थिएन। कसैले पनि सुनेको थिएन। 30 तब एलियाले मानिसहरूलाई भने, “अब मेरो सामु आओ।” यसकारण सबै मानिसहरू एलियाको वरिपरि थुप्रिए। परमप्रभुको वेदी भत्किएको थियो। यसकारण एलियाले ठीक पारे। 31 एलियाले 12 वटा ढुङ्गाहरू पाए। प्रत्येक ढुङ्गा याकूबका सन्तानबाटका त्यो एउटा कुल समूहको निम्ति खडा थियो। याकूब त्यो मानिस थियो जसलाई परमप्रभुले इस्राएल नाउँ दिनुभयोको थियो। 32 एलियाले परमप्रभुको वेदी स्थापित गर्न यी ढुङ्गाहरू प्रयोग गरे। उनले वेदीको वरिपरि एउटा खाडल खने। त्यो खाडल दुइ माना पानी राख्नका लागि पर्याप्त चौंडा र गहिरो थियो। 33 तब एलियाले वेदीमाथि दाऊरा राखे। उनले साँढेलाई टुक्रा-टुक्रा पारेर काटे। उनले टुक्राहरू दाउरामाथि राखे। 34 तब एलियाले भने, “चारैवटा भाँडाहरूमा पानी भर। पानी मासुका टुक्रा र दाउरामा खन्याऊ।” फेरि एलियाले भने, “फेरि यसै गर।” तब उनले भने, “फेरि यस्तै तेस्रो पटक गर।” 35 पानी वेदीबाट तल बग्यो अनि खाडलमा भरियो। 36 यो बेलुकीपखको बलिदानको समय भएको थियो। त्यसपछि अगमवक्ता एलिया वेदी समक्ष गए अनि प्रार्थना गरे, “हे परमप्रभु, अब्राहाम, इसहाक र इस्राएलका परमेश्वर। म तपाईंलाई इस्राएलका परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ भनी प्रमाणित गर्ने बिन्ती गर्छु। अनि प्रमाणित गर्नुहोस् म तपाईंको सेवक हुँ। मानिसहरूलाई देखाउनुहोस्, यी सब काम गर्नका लागि तपाईंले मलाईं आदेश दिनुभएको हो। 37 मेरो परमप्रभु, मेरो प्रार्थनाको उत्तर दिनहोस्। मानिसहरूलाई देखाइ दिनुहोस्, परमप्रभु तपाईं नै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ। तब तपाईंले मानिसहरूलाई तपाईंतिर फर्काएर ल्याउनु सक्नु हुन्छ।” 38 यसकारण परमप्रभुले आगो पठाउनुभयो। आगोले बलिदान, दाउरा, ढुङ्गा र वेदीको वरिपरिको भूमिलाई जलायो। आगोले खाडलको पानीलाई पनि सूख्खा बनायो। 39 सबै मानिसहरूले यस्तो भएको देखे। मानिसहरू भूमिमा निहुरिए अनि भन्न थाले, “परमप्रभु नै परमेश्वर हुनु हुन्छ! परमप्रभु नै परमेश्वर हुनुहुन्छ!” 40 तब एलियाले भने, “बालका सबै अगमवक्ताहरूलाई पक्र। कसैलाई भाग्न नदोऊ!” यसकारण मानिसहरूले सबै अगमवक्ताहरूलाई पक्रिए। तब एलियाले तिनीहरूलाई कीशोन खोलामा लगे अनि त्यस ठाउँमा तिनीहरूलाई मारे। पानी फेरि पर्छ 41 तब एलियाले राजा आहाबलाई भने, “अब, जाऊ खान-पीन गर। मूसलाधारे पानी परेको आवाज सुन्छौ।” 42 यसकारण राजा आहाब खान गए। त्यस बेला एलिया कर्मेल डाँडा माथि चढे। पर्वतको चुचुरामा पुगेर तिनी निहुरिए। उनले आफ्नो टाउको दुइवटा घुँडाबीच राखे। 43 तब एलियाले आफ्नो सेवकलाई भने, “समुद्रतिर हेर।” सेवक त्यस ठाउँमा गयो जहाँबाट ऊ समुद्र हेर्न सक्थ्यो। तब सेवक फर्कियो अनि भन्यो, “मैले केही देखिन।” एलियाले उसलाई फेरि जानु र हेर्नु भने। यस्तो सात पटक भयो। 44 सातौं पटक सेवक फर्कियो अनि भन्यो, “मैले मानिसको मुठ्ठीको आकार जस्तैं सानो बादल देखें। बादल समुद्रबाट आउँदै थियो।” एलियाले सेवकलाई भने, “राजा आहाब कहाँ जा अनि उनलाई आफ्नो रथ लिनु अनि अहिले घर जानु भन। यदि उनी अहिले जाँदैनन् भने पानीले उनलाई रोक्नेछ।” 45 केही छिनपछि आकाश कालो बादलले ढाकियो। हावा बहनु थाल्यो अनि मूसलाधारे पानी पर्न थाल्यो। आहाब आफ्नो रथमा चढे अनि यीज्रेलतिर यात्रा शुरू गरे। 46 परमप्रभुको शक्ति एलियामाथि आएको थियो। एलियाले आफ्नो चारैतिर लुगा कसे जसले गर्दा ऊ दगुर्न सकोस्। तब एलिया राजा आहाबभन्दा अघि यीज्रेलतिर दगुरे र पुगे।
