1 Kings 18:4-13

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.

7And as ObadiahH5662 was in the wayH1870, beholdH2009, ElijahH452 metH7125 him: and he knew him, and fellH5307 on his faceH6440, and saidH559, Is it thou, my lordH113 ElijahH452?

8And he answeredH559 him, It is I: goH2009, tellH559 thy lordH113, BeholdH2009, ElijahH452 is hereH2009.

9And he saidH559, Wherein have I sinnedH2398, that thou wouldest deliverH5414 thy servantH5650 intoH3027 the handH3027 of AhabH256, to slayH4191 meH5414?

10As the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 liveth, there is noH3808 nationH1471 or kingdomH4467, whither my lordH3068 hath notH3808 sentH7971 to seekH1245 thee: and when they saidH559, He is notH3808 hereH8033, he tookH853 an oathH7650 of the kingdomH4467 and nationH1471, that they foundH4672 thee notH3808.

11And nowH6258 thou sayest, GoH2009, tellH559 thy lordH113, BeholdH2009, ElijahH452 is hereH2009.

12And it shall comeH935 to passH935, as soon as I am goneH935 from thee, that the spiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall carryH5375 thee whither I knowH3045 notH3808; and soH1961 when I comeH935 and tellH5046 AhabH256, and he cannotH3808 findH4672 thee, he shall slayH2026 meH5046: but I thy servantH5650 fearH3372 the LORDH3068 from my youthH5271.

13Was it notH3808 toldH5046 my lordH3068 whatH834 I didH6213 when JezebelH348 slewH2026 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, howH834 I hidH2244 an hundredH3967 menH376 of the LORD’SH3068 prophetsH5030 by fiftyH2572 in a caveH4631, and fed them with breadH3899 an waterH4325?
