1 Kings 18:45

And it came to pass in the mean while, that the heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel.

KJV

Cumque se verteret huc atque illuc, ecce cæli contenebrati sunt, et nubes, et ventus, et facta est pluvia grandis. Ascendens itaque Achab, abiit in Jezrahel :

Vulgate

καὶ ἐγένετο ἕως ὧδε καὶ ὧδε, καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς συνεσκότασεν νεφέλαις καὶ πνεύματι, καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ ὑετὸς μέγας· καὶ ἔκλαεν καὶ ἐπορεύετο Ἀχαὰβ εἰς Ἰσραήλ.

LXX

And it came to pass in a little while, that the heavens grew black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel:

ASV

וַ/יְהִ֣י עַד כֹּ֣ה וְ/עַד כֹּ֗ה וְ/הַ/שָּׁמַ֨יִם֙ הִֽתְקַדְּרוּ֙ עָבִ֣ים וְ/ר֔וּחַ וַ/יְהִ֖י גֶּ֣שֶׁם גָּד֑וֹל וַ/יִּרְכַּ֥ב אַחְאָ֖ב וַ/יֵּ֥לֶךְ יִזְרְעֶֽאלָ/ה
