4 Kay mao kini nga sa gilaglag ni Jezabel ang mga manalagna ni Jehova, nga si Abdias mikuha sa usa ka gatus ka mga manalagna, ug gitagoan sila sa tinagkalim-an didto sa usa ka langub, ug gipakaon sila sa tinapay ug tubig.)

Gill's Notes on the Bible
For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord,.... 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 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.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
We have no details of Jezebel’s deed of blood. Some have conjectured that it was the answer of Jezebel to Elijah’s threat, and that the command given him to hide in Cherith alone saved him from being one of the victims. This view receives some support from Obadiah’s act and words 1 Kings 18:13.
Fifty in a cave - The limestone formation of Judaea and Samaria abounds with large natural caverns, the size of which is easily increased by art. These “caves” play an important part in the history of the country, serving especially as refuges for political offenders and other fugitives Jdg 6:2; 1 Samuel 13:6; Hebrews 11:38.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 18:4. Fed them with bread and water. — By these are signified the necessaries of life, of whatsoever kind.
