1 Reis 18:4 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 18:4

For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord,
&c.] Or slew them, as the Targum; put them to death some way or another; such as were brought up in the schools of the prophets, trained up in religious exercises, and instructed others therein:

that Obadiah took one hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a
cave;
fifty in one cave and fifty in another; for there were large caves in the land of Israel capable of holding such a number, and many more, see ( 1 Samuel 22:1 ) ( 24:3 ) and fed them with bread and water; which in this time of famine were very acceptable; though these may be put for all the necessaries of life.

1 Reis 18:4 In-Context

2 Então Elias foi apresentar-se a Acabe. E a fome era extrema em Samária.
3 Acabe chamou a Obadias, o mordomo (ora, Obadias temia muito ao Senhor;
4 pois sucedeu que, destruindo Jezabel os profetas do Senhor, Obadias tomou cem profetas e os escondeu, cinqüenta numa cova e cinqüenta noutra, e os sustentou com pão e água);
5 e disse Acabe a Obadias: Vai pela terra a todas as fontes de água, e a todos os rios. Pode ser ser que achemos erva para salvar a vida dos cavalos e mulas, de maneira que não percamos todos os os animais.
6 E repartiram entre si a terra, para a percorrerem; e foram a sós, Acabe por um caminho, e Obadias por outro.
