1 Kings 18:1-6

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.
