1 Kings 18:1-6

1AfterH1961 a longH7227 timeH3117, in the thirdH7992 yearH8141 of the drought,1 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 toH413 ElijahH452: “GoH1980 and presentH7200 yourself toH413 AhabH256, and I will sendH5414 rainH4306 uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the earthH127.”

2So ElijahH452 wentH1980 to present himselfH7200 toH413 AhabH256. The famineH7458 was severeH2389 in SamariaH8111, 3and AhabH256H413 summonedH7121 ObadiahH5662, whoH834 was in charge ofH5921 the palaceH1004.

(Now ObadiahH5662 greatlyH3966 fearedH1961H3373 the LORDH3068, 4for whenH1961 JezebelH348 had slaughteredH3772 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, ObadiahH5662 had takenH3947 a hundredH3967 prophetsH5030 and hidden themH2244, fiftyH2572 menH376 per caveH4631, providing themH3557 with foodH3899 and waterH4325.)

5Then AhabH256 saidH559 toH413 ObadiahH5662, “GoH1980 throughout the landH776 toH413 everyH3605 springH4599 andH413 everyH3605 valleyH5158. PerhapsH194 we will findH4672 grassH2682 to keep the horsesH5483 and mulesH6505 aliveH2421 so that we will notH3808 have to destroyH3772 any livestockH929.”

6So they dividedH2505 the landH776 to exploreH5674. AhabH256 wentH1980 oneH259 wayH1870 by himselfH905, and ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 the otherH259 wayH1870 by himselfH905.
