Jehovah's prophet began to make his way along the same road Ahab had taken. A long, dark, wet trek lay ahead of him. But something unusual happened next.
"The very hand of Jehovah proved to be upon Elijah, so that he girded up his hips and went running ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel." (1 Kings 18:46) clearly, "the very hand of Jehovah" was acting on Elijah is a supernatural way. Jezreel was 19 miles (30 km) distant, and Elijah was no youth. Just picture the prophet girding up his long garments, tying them at his hips so that his legs would have freedom of movement, and then running along that rain-drenched road-running so fast that he caught up with, passed, and outpaced the chariot!
