1 Kings 18:1-6 (New Revised Standard)
1
After many days the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year of the drought, a saying, "Go, present yourself to Ahab; I will send rain on the earth."
2
So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. The famine was severe in Samaria.
3
Ahab summoned Obadiah, who was in charge of the palace. (Now Obadiah revered the Lord greatly;
4
when Jezebel was killing off the prophets of the Lord, Obadiah took a hundred prophets, hid them fifty to a cave, and provided 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 wadis; perhaps we may find grass to keep the horses and mules alive, and not lose some of the animals."
6
So they divided the land between them to pass through it; Ahab went in one direction by himself, and Obadiah went in another direction by himself.
