1 Kings 18:6 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 18:6

So they divided the land between them, to pass through it
And one took one part, and the other the other part: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself;
Ahab not caring to trust any but Obadiah, who he knew was a faithful man, lest they should be bribed by those that had grass not to discover it.

1 Kings 18:6 In-Context

4 for it was so, when Izevel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that `Ovadyah took one hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)

5 Ach'av said to `Ovadyah, Go through the land, to all the springs of water, and to all the brooks: peradventure we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we not lose all the animals.

6 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ach'av went one way by himself, and `Ovadyah went another way by himself.

7 As `Ovadyah was in the way, behold, Eliyah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Is it you, my lord Eliyah?

8 He answered him, It is I: go, tell your lord, Behold, Eliyah [is here].
