Note 224 — CONTENTS. (continued 5)
Reading edition
When Ahab was king of the Israelites, because of the many sins he committed, Elias, the prophet, said to him, “As the Lord God of the Israelites liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.” 1 Kings 17:1. Thus again: When Hua224 was king here on Maui, Luahoomoe was the prophet at that time. Because Hua wanted to bake Luahoomoe in the oven, therefore he [Luahoomoe] told his sons where to go and live, because he was going to take away the rain (deprive the land of the rain).
