  1. 2Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. The famine was severe in Samaria.
  2. 3Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared Yahweh greatly;
  3. 4for when Jezebel cut off Yahweh’s prophets, Obadiah took one hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
  4. 5Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go through the land, to all the springs of water, and to all the brooks. Perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we not lose all the animals.”
  5. 6So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it. Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
