17 And E·liʹjah*+ the Tishʹbite from the inhabitants* of Gilʹe·ad+ proceeded to say to Aʹhab: “As Jehovah the God of Israel before whom I do stand*+ is living,+ there will occur during these years neither dew nor rain,+ except at the order of my word!”+

14 Then he took the official garment of E·liʹjah that had fallen off him and struck the waters+ and said: “Where is Jehovah the God of E·liʹjah, even He?”+ When he struck the waters, then they were gradually divided this way and that way, so that E·liʹsha went across.
