1 Kings 18:1-6

1Later on, in the third year of the drought, the Lord said to Elijah, “Go and present yourself to King Ahab. Tell him that I will soon send rain!”

2So Elijah went to appear before Ahab. Meanwhile, the famine had become very severe in Samaria.

3So Ahab summoned Obadiah, who was in charge of the palace. (Obadiah was a devoted follower of the Lord.

4Once when Jezebel had tried to kill all the Lord’s prophets, Obadiah had hidden 100 of them in two caves. He put fifty prophets in each cave and supplied them with food and water.)

5Ahab said to Obadiah, “We must check every spring and valley in the land to see if we can find enough grass to save at least some of my horses and mules.”

6So they divided the land between them. Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
