1 Kings 18:2-16

2And ElijahH452 wentH3212 to showH7200 himself to AhabH256. And there was a grievousH2389 famineH7458 in SamariaH8111. 3And AhabH256 calledH7121 ObadiahH5662, who was the governor of his houseH1004. (Now ObadiahH5662 fearedH3373 the LORDH3068 greatlyH3966:12 4For it was so, when JezebelH348 cut offH3772 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, that ObadiahH5662 tookH3947 an hundredH3967 prophetsH5030, and hidH2244 them by fiftyH376H2572 in a caveH4631, and fedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325.)3 5And AhabH256 saidH559 to ObadiahH5662, GoH3212 into the landH776, to all fountainsH4599 of waterH4325, and to all brooksH5158: perhapsH194 we may findH4672 grassH2682 to saveH2421 the horsesH5483 and mulesH6505 aliveH2421, that we loseH3772 not all the beastsH929.4 6So they dividedH2505 the landH776 between them to pass throughoutH5674 it: AhabH256 wentH1980 oneH259 wayH1870 by himself, and ObadiahH5662 wentH1980 anotherH259 wayH1870 by himself. 7And as ObadiahH5662 was in the wayH1870, behold, ElijahH452 metH7125 him: and he knewH5234 him, and fellH5307 on his faceH6440, and saidH559, Art thou that my lordH113 ElijahH452? 8And he answeredH559 him, I am : goH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here . 9And he saidH559, How have I sinnedH2398, that thou wouldest deliverH5414 thy servantH5650 into the handH3027 of AhabH256, to slayH4191 me? 10As the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 livethH2416, there is noH3426 nationH1471 nor kingdomH4467, whereH834 my lordH113 hath not sentH7971 to seekH1245 thee: and when they saidH559, He is not there ; he took an oathH7650 of the kingdomH4467 and nationH1471, that they foundH4672 thee not. 11And now thou sayestH559, GoH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here . 12And it shall come to pass, as soon as I have goneH3212 from thee, that the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 shall carryH5375 thee where I knowH3045 not; and so when I comeH935 and tellH5046 AhabH256, and he cannot findH4672 thee, he shall slayH2026 me: but I thy servantH5650 fearH3372 the LORDH3068 from my youthH5271. 13Was it not toldH5046 my lordH113 what I didH6213 when JezebelH348 slewH2026 the prophetsH5030 of the LORDH3068, how I hidH2244 an hundredH3967 menH376 of the LORD’SH3068 prophetsH5030 by fiftyH2572 in a caveH4631, and fedH3557 them with breadH3899 and waterH4325? 14And now thou sayestH559, GoH3212, tellH559 thy lordH113, Behold, ElijahH452 is here : and he shall slayH2026 me. 15And ElijahH452 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 livethH2416, beforeH6440 whom I standH5975, I will surely showH7200 myself to him to dayH3117. 16So ObadiahH5662 wentH3212 to meetH7125 AhabH256, and toldH5046 him: and AhabH256 wentH3212 to meetH7125 ElijahH452.
