And it came to pass after many
days,
that the word
of the LORD
came to Elijah
in the third
year,
saying,
Go,
shew
thyself unto Ahab;
and I will send
rain
upon
the earth.

And Elijah
went
to shew
himself unto Ahab.
And there was a sore
famine
in Samaria.
And Ahab
called
Obadiah,
which was the governor of his house.
(Now Obadiah
feared
the LORD
greatly:
For it was so, when Jezebel
cut off
the prophets
of the LORD,
that Obadiah
took
an hundred
prophets,
and hid
them by fifty
in a cave,
and fed
them with bread
and water.

And Ahab
said
unto Obadiah,
Go
into the land,
unto all fountains
of water,
and unto all brooks:
peradventure
we may find
grass
to save
the horses
and mules
alive,
that we lose
not all the beasts.

So they divided

by himself, and Obadiah
went
another
way
by himself.

And he answered
him, I am: go,
tell
thy lord,
Behold, Elijah
is here.
And he said,
What have I sinned,
that thou wouldest deliver
thy servant
into the hand
of Ahab,
to slay
me?
As the LORD
thy God
liveth,
there is no
nation
or kingdom,
whither
my lord
hath not sent
to seek
thee: and when they said,
He is not there; he took an oath
of the kingdom
and nation,
that they found
thee not.

And now thou sayest,
Go,
tell
thy lord,
Behold, Elijah
is here.
And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone
from thee, that the Spirit
of the LORD
shall carry
thee whither I know
not; and so when I come
and tell
Ahab,
and he cannot find
thee, he shall slay
me: but I thy servant
fear
the LORD
from my youth.

Was it not told
my lord
what I did
when Jezebel
slew
the prophets
of the LORD,
how I hid
an hundred
men
of the LORD'S
prophets
by fifty
in a cave,
and fed
them with bread
and water?
And now thou sayest,
Go,
tell
thy lord,
Behold, Elijah
is here: and he shall slay
me.
And Elijah
said,
As the LORD
of hosts
liveth,
before
whom I stand,
I will surely shew
myself unto him to day.
So Obadiah
went
to meet
Ahab,
and told
him: and Ahab
went
to meet
Elijah.
And it came to pass, when Ahab
saw
Elijah,
that Ahab
said
unto him, Art thou he that troubleth
Israel?
And he answered,
I have not troubled
Israel;
but thou, and thy father's
house,
in that ye have forsaken
the commandments
of the LORD,
and thou hast followed

So Ahab
sent

And Elijah
came
unto all the people,
and said,
How long
halt
ye between two

if the LORD
be God,
follow him: but if Baal,
then follow
him. And the people
answered
him not a word.

Let them therefore give

And Elijah
said
unto the prophets

And they took

them, and they dressed

on the name

And they leaped
