1 Kings 18:1-6

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

2And Elijah went to shew himself unto Ahab. And there was a sore famine in Samaria.

3And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared Yhwh greatly:12

4For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Yhwh, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)3

5And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.4

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