Et Achab dit à Abdias: Va dans le pays, à toutes les sources d'eaux, et à tous les torrents; peut-être trouverons-nous de l'herbage, et nous conserverons la vie aux chevaux et aux mulets, et nous ne serons pas obligés de détruire de nos bêtes.
Achab dit à Abdias: Va par le pays vers toutes les sources d'eau et vers tous les torrents; peut-être se trouvera-t-il de l'herbe, et nous conserverons la vie aux chevaux et aux mulets, et nous n'aurons pas besoin d'abattre du bétail.
Et Achab avait dit à Abdias : Va par le pays vers toutes les fontaines d'eaux, et vers tous les torrents; peut-être que nous trouverons de l'herbe, et que nous sauverons la vie aux chevaux et aux mulets, et nous ne laisserons point dépeupler le pays de bêtes.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Ahab said unto Obadiah, go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks,.... To observe in what condition they were, and the places adjoining to them, the meadows and valleys:
peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive; particularly those which belonged to the king's stables, to find provisions for which it was found difficult:
that we lose not all the beasts; many of them, doubtless, were lost through the drought already, and there was great danger of the rest, and so, in time, of there being none to procreate and preserve their species, and to prevent which Ahab proposed to take this method.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Unto all fountains of water and unto all brooks - Rather, “to all springs of water and to all torrent-courses.†The former are the perennial streams; the latter are the torrent-courses which become dry in an ordinary summer.
All the beasts - Rather, some, or, “a portion of our beasts.â€
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 18:5. Unto all fountains of water — All marshy or well-watered districts, where grass was most likely to be preserved.
