1 Kings 18:1-6

1And it came to pass after manyH7227 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of Jehovah came to ElijahH452, in the thirdH7992 yearH8141, sayingH559, Go, showH7200 thyself unto AhabH256; and I will send rainH4306 upon the earthH127. 2And ElijahH452 went to showH7200 himself unto AhabH256. And the famineH7458 was sore in SamariaH8111. 3And AhabH256 calledH7121 ObadiahH5662, who wasH1961 over the householdH1004. (Now ObadiahH5662 feared Jehovah greatly: 4for it wasH1961 so, when JezebelH348 cutH3772 off the prophetsH5030 of Jehovah, that ObadiahH5662 tookH3947 a hundredH3967 prophetsH5030, and hidH2244 them by fiftyH2572 in a caveH4631, and fed them with breadH3899 and waterH4325.) 5And AhabH256 saidH559 unto ObadiahH5662, Go through the landH776, unto all the fountains of waterH4325, and unto all the brooks: peradventure we may findH4672 grassH2682 and save the horsesH5483 and mulesH6505 aliveH2421, that we lose not all the beasts. 6So they dividedH2505 the landH776 between them to passH5674 throughout it: AhabH256 wentH1980 oneH259 wayH1870 by himself, and ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 another wayH1870 by himself.
