1 Kings 18:3-5
Living Bible
3-4 The man in charge of Ahab’s household affairs was Obadiah, who was a devoted follower of the Lord. Once when Queen Jezebel had tried to kill all of the Lord’s prophets, Obadiah had hidden one hundred of them in two caves—fifty in each—and had fed them with bread and water.
5 That same day, while Elijah was on the way to see King Ahab,[a] the king said to Obadiah, “We must check every stream and brook to see if we can find enough grass to save at least some of my horses and mules. You go one way and I’ll go the other, and we will search the entire land.”

New International Version
3 and Ahab had summoned Obadiah, his palace administrator.(A) (Obadiah was a devout believer(B) in the Lord. 4 While Jezebel(C) was killing off the Lord’s prophets, Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden(D) them in two caves, fifty in each, and had supplied(E) them with food and water.) 5 Ahab had said to Obadiah, “Go through the land to all the springs(F) and valleys. Maybe we can find some grass to keep the horses and mules alive so we will not have to kill any of our animals.”(G)
