And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.

Verse 1 is found in chapter 18 of 1 Kings. After a long period of drought, God commands Elijah to present himself to Ahab and announces that he will send rain. Ahab and Obadiah search for food for the horses and mules, while Obadiah has secretly protected the Lord’s prophets from Jezebel’s persecution. The scene shows that even within Ahab’s administration there are people who fear God and act to preserve his prophets.

Und über eine lange Zeit kam das Wort des HERRN zu Elia, im dritten Jahr, und sprach: Gehe hin und zeige dich Ahab, daß ich regnen lasse auf Erden.
Pasados muchos días, fue palabra de Jehová a Elías en el tercer año, diciendo: Ve, muéstrate a Achâb, y yo daré lluvia sobre la haz de la tierra.
Pasó mucho tiempo, y en el tercer año la palabra de Jehová vino a Elías, diciendo: «Ve y preséntate ante Acab, y yo enviaré lluvia sobre la faz de la tierra».
Bien des jours s'écoulèrent, et la parole de l'Eternel fut ainsi adressée à Elie, dans la troisième année: Va, présente-toi devant Achab, et je ferai tomber de la pluie sur la face du sol.
E MOLTO tempo appresso, la parola del Signore fu indirizzata ad Elia, nell’anno terzo, dicendo: Va’, mostrati ad Achab, ed io manderò della pioggia sopra il paese.
E SUCEDEU que, depois de muitos dias, a palavra do SENHOR veio a Elias, no terceiro ano, dizendo: Vai, apresenta-te a Acabe; porque darei chuva sobre a terra.
過了許多日子,到了第三年,耶和華的話臨到 以利亞 ,說:「你去,讓 亞哈 看見你,我要降雨在地面上。」
