Finally, abundant rain arrives, and Elijah runs ahead of Ahab’s chariot. The section shows the connection between prophetic word, persistent prayer, and the end of the drought announced at the beginning of Elijah’s ministry.

und sprach zu seinem Diener: Geh hinauf und schau zum Meer zu! Er ging hinauf und schaute und sprach: Es ist nichts da. Er sprach: Geh wieder hin siebenmal!
Y dijo a su criado: Sube ahora, y mira hacia la mar. Y él subió, y miró, y dijo: No hay nada. Y él le volvió a decir: Vuelve siete veces.
Le dijo a su criado: «Sube, por favor, y mira hacia el mar». Él subió, miró y dijo: «No hay nada». Siete veces le dijo: «Vuelve».
et dit à son serviteur: Monte, regarde du côté de la mer. Le serviteur monta, il regarda, et dit: Il n'y a rien. Elie dit sept fois: Retourne.
e disse al suo servitore: Deh! sali, e riguarda verso il mare. Ed egli salì, e riguardò, e disse: Ei non vi è nulla. Ed Elia disse: Ritornavi fino a sette volte.
E disse ao seu servo: Sobe agora, e olha para o lado do mar. E subiu, e olhou, e disse: Não há nada. Então disse ele: Volta lá sete vezes.
