Obadiah Meets Elijah

18 Now it happened ^(A)after many days that the word of Yahweh came to Elijah in the third year, saying, “Go, show yourself to Ahab, and ^(B)I will send rain on the face of the earth.” ² So Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria. ³ And Ahab called Obadiah ^(C)who was over the household. (Now Obadiah ^[a](D)feared Yahweh greatly. ⁴ And it happened that ^(E)when Jezebel was cutting down the prophets of Yahweh, Obadiah took one hundred prophets and hid them by fifties in a cave, and ^(F)sustained them with bread and water.) ⁵ Then Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys; perhaps we will find grass and keep the horses and mules alive, and not have to cut down some of the cattle.” ⁶ So they divided the land between them to pass through it; Ahab went one way by himself and Obadiah went another way by himself.
