1 Kings 18:1-16

1And it came to pass after manyH7227 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of Jehovah came to ElijahH452 in the thirdH7992 yearH8141, sayingH559, Go, shew thyself to AhabH256; and I will send rainH4306 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.

2And ElijahH452 went to shew himself to AhabH256. And the famineH7458 was severeH2389 in SamariaH8111.

3And AhabH256 calledH7121 ObadiahH5662, who wasH1961 the steward of his houseH1004 (now ObadiahH5662 feared Jehovah greatly;

4and 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 maintained them with breadH3899 and waterH4325);

5and AhabH256 saidH559 to ObadiahH5662, Go through the landH776, to all the fountains of waterH4325 and to all the torrents, perhapsH194 we may findH4672 grassH2682 to save the horsesH5483 and the mulesH6505 aliveH2421, so that we may not have to destroy some of [our] beasts.

6And they dividedH2505 the landH776 between them to passH5674 through it: AhabH256 wentH1980 oneH259 wayH1870 by himself, and ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 another wayH1870 by himself.

7And as ObadiahH5662 wasH1961 on the wayH1870, behold, ElijahH452 met him; and he knew him, and fellH5307 on his faceH6440, and saidH559, Is it indeed thou, my lordH113 ElijahH452?

8And he saidH559 to him, I [am he]: go, sayH559 to thy lordH113, Behold ElijahH452!

9And he saidH559, What have I sinnedH2398, that thou givest thy servantH5650 into the handH3027 of AhabH256, to putH5414 me to deathH4191?

10As Jehovah thy 1GodH430 liveth, there is no nationH1471 or kingdomH4467 whither my lord has not sentH7971 to seekH1245 thee; and when they saidH559, He is not [here], he took an oathH7650 of the kingdomH4467 or nationH1471 that they foundH4672 thee not.

11And nowH6258 thou sayest, Go, sayH559 to thy lordH113, Behold ElijahH452!

12And it shall comeH935 to pass when I am goneH935 from thee, that the SpiritH7307 of Jehovah shall carryH5375 thee whither I knowH3045 not; and when I comeH935 and tellH5046 AhabH256, and he cannot findH4672 thee, he will killH2026 me; and I thy servantH5650 fearH3372 Jehovah from my youthH5271.

13Was it not toldH5046 my lord what I did whenH834 JezebelH348 slewH2026 the prophetsH5030 of Jehovah, how I hidH2244 a hundredH3967 menH376 of Jehovah's prophetsH5030 by fiftyH2572 in a caveH4631, and maintained them with breadH3899 and waterH4325?

14And nowH6258 thou sayest, Go, sayH559 to thy lordH113, Behold ElijahH452! and he will killH2026 me.

15And ElijahH452 saidH559, As Jehovah of hostsH6635 liveth, before whom I standH5975, I will certainly shew myself to him to-day.

16Then ObadiahH5662 went to meet AhabH256, and toldH5046 him. And AhabH256 went to meet ElijahH452.
