1 Kings 18:1-6

1After a long time, the word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third year: “Go and present yourself to Ahab. I will send rain on the surface of the land.”

2So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. The famine was severe in Samaria.

3Ahab called for Obadiah, who was in charge of the palace. Obadiah was a man who greatly feared the Lord

4and took a hundred prophets and hid them, fifty men to a cave, and provided them with food and water when Jezebel slaughtered the Lord’s prophets.

5Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go throughout the land to every spring and to every wadi. Perhaps we’ll find grass so we can keep the horses and mules alive and not have to destroy any cattle.”

6They divided the land between them in order to cover it. Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went the other way by himself.
