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;

6 So they divided the land between them to explore it; Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.

7 Now as Obadiah was on his way, suddenly Elijah met him; and he recognized him, and fell on his face, and said, "Is that you, my lord Elijah?"

8 And he answered him, "It is I. Go, tell your master, 'Elijah is here.' "
