And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the gate of Jezreel — The phrase "the hand of the LORD was on Elijah" shows divine power energizing the prophet. The phrase shows him running before Ahab's chariot in prophetic ecstasy—demonstrating that divine power, not natural strength, enables his superhuman feat. The prophet's physical prowess becomes testimony to God's presence.
