1 Kings 18:2-16

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.

7Now as ObadiahH5662 wentH1961 on his wayH1870, ElijahH452 suddenlyH2009 met himH7122. When Obadiah recognized himH5234, he fellH5307 facedownH5921H6440 and saidH559, “Is itH2088 youH859, my lordH113 ElijahH452?”

8“It is IH589,” he answeredH559. “GoH1980 tellH559 your masterH113, ‘ElijahH452 is hereH2009!’”

9But Obadiah repliedH559, “HowH4100 have I sinnedH2398, thatH3588 youH859 are handing your servantH5650 over toH5414 AhabH256 to put me to deathH4191? 10As surely as the LORDH3068 your GodH430 livesH2416, there isH3426 noH518 nationH1471 or kingdomH4467 whereH834 my lordH113H8033 has notH3808 sentH7971 someone to search for youH1245. When they saidH559, ‘He is notH369 here,’ he made that kingdomH4467 or nationH1471H3588 swearH7650 thatH853 they had notH3808 found youH4672. 11And nowH6258 youH859 sayH559, ‘GoH1980 tellH559 your masterH113 that ElijahH452 is hereH2009!’

12

I do notH3808 knowH3045 whereH5921 the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 may carry you offH5375 when IH589 leaveH1980 youH854. Then when I goH935 and tellH5046 AhabH256 and he does notH3808 find youH4672, he will kill meH2026. But I, your servantH5650, have fearedH3373 the LORDH3068 from my youthH5271. 13Was it notH3808 reportedH5046 to my lordH113 whatH834 I didH6213 when JezebelH348 slaughteredH2026 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068? I hidH2244 a hundredH3967 prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, fiftyH2572H376 menH376 per caveH4631, and I provided themH3557 with foodH3899 and waterH4325. 14And nowH6258 youH859 sayH559, ‘GoH1980 tellH559 your lordH113 that ElijahH452 is hereH2009!’ He will kill meH2026!”

15Then ElijahH452 saidH559, “As surely as the LORDH3068 of HostsH6635 livesH2416, beforeH6440H3588 whomH834 I standH5975, I will present myselfH7200 to AhabH413 todayH3117.”

16So ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 toH7122 informH5046 AhabH256, who wentH1980 to meetH7122 ElijahH452.
