1 Kings 18:1-6
1Now it happenedH1961 1after manyH7227 daysH3117 that the wordH1697 of the LordH3068 cameH1961 to ElijahH452 in the thirdH7992 yearH8141, sayingH559, “GoH1980, presentH7200 yourself to AhabH256, and 2I will provideH5414 rainH4306 on the faceH6440 of the earthH127.” 2So ElijahH452 wentH1980 to presentH7200 himself to AhabH256. Now the famineH7458 was severeH2389 in SamariaH8111. 3AhabH256 summonedH7121 ObadiahH5662, 3whoH834 was inH5921 chargeH5921 ofH5921 the householdH1004. (Now ObadiahH5662 45fearedH3372 the LordH3068 greatlyH3966; 4for 6when JezebelH348 killedH3772 the prophetsH5030 of the LordH3068, ObadiahH5662 tookH3947 a hundredH3967 prophetsH5030 and hidH2244 them by fiftiesH2572 in a caveH4631, and 7providedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325.) 5Then AhabH256 saidH559 to ObadiahH5662, “GoH1980 through the landH776 to allH3605 the springsH4599 of waterH4325 and to allH3605 the riverH5158 valleysH5158; perhapsH194 we will findH4672 grassH2682 and keepH2421 the horsesH5483 and mulesH6505 aliveH2421, and not have to killH3772 someH4480 of the cattleH929.” 6So they dividedH2505 the landH776 between them to 8surveyH5674 it; AhabH256 wentH1980 oneH259 wayH1870 byH905 himselfH905, and ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 anotherH259 wayH1870 byH905 himselfH905.
