1 Kings 18:1-6

1And it came to pass after many days, that the word of Jehovah came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself to Ahab; and I will send rain upon the face of the earth.

2And Elijah went to shew himself to Ahab. And the famine was severe in Samaria.

3And Ahab called Obadiah, who was the steward of his house (now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly;

4and it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and maintained them with bread and water);

5and Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land, to all the fountains of water and to all the torrents, perhaps we may find grass to save the horses and the mules alive, so that we may not have to destroy some of [our] beasts.

6And they divided the land between them to pass through it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
