1 Kings 18:1-6

1And it cameH1961 to passH1961 afterH5921 manyH7227 daysH3117, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 cameH1961 to ElijahH452, in the thirdH7992 yearH8141, sayingH559, GoH1961, shew thyself unto AhabH256; and I will sendH5414 rainH4306 uponH5921 the earthH127.

2And ElijahH452 wentH413 to shew himselfH413 unto AhabH256. And the famineH7458 was sore in SamariaH8111.

3And AhabH256 calledH7121 ObadiahH5662, whichH834 was over the householdH1004. (NowH1961 ObadiahH5662 feared the LORDH3068 greatlyH3966:

4for it was soH3947, when JezebelH348 cutH3772 offH3772 prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, that ObadiahH5662 tookH3947 an hundredH3967 prophetsH5030, and hidH2244 them by fiftyH2572 in a caveH4631, and fed them with breadH3899 and waterH4325.)

5And AhabH256 saidH559 unto ObadiahH5662, Go throughH3605 the landH776, unto allH3605 the fountainsH4599 of waterH4325, and unto allH3605 the brooks: peradventure weH3605 may findH4672 grassH2682 and save the horsesH5483 and mulesH6505 aliveH2421, that weH3605 lose notH3808 allH3605 the beastsH929.

6SoH1980 they dividedH2505 the landH776 betweenH5674 them to passH5674 throughoutH1980 it: AhabH256 wentH1980 one wayH1870 by himselfH905, and ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 anotherH259 wayH1870 by himselfH905.
