1 Kings 18:46

46 Now the Lord energized Elijah with power; ^{▼▼ Heb “and the hand of the Lord was on Elijah.”} he tucked his robe into his belt ^{▼▼ Heb “and girded up his loins.” The idea is that of gathering up the robes and tucking them into the sash or belt so that they do not get in the way of the legs when running (or working or fighting).} and ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.
