1 Kings 18:1-6

1Now it was after many days that the word of Adonai came to Elijah in the third year saying, “Go, show yourself to Ahab; then I will send rain on the land.

2So Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria.

3Ahab summoned Obadiah who was the steward of the palace. Now Obadiah feared Adonai greatly—

4for when Jezebel was cutting off the prophets of Adonai, Obadiah took 100 prophets, hid them 50 to a cave, and provided them with bread and water.

5Then Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the wadis. Perhaps we may find grass and so keep the horses and mules alive and not lose all the animals.”

6So they divided the land between them to explore it—Ahab went one way by himself while Obadiah went another way by himself.
