And it happened after many days the Word of Jehovah came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show yourself to Ahab, and I will give rain on the face of the earth.

And Elijah went to be seen by Ahab. And the famine in Samaria was severe.

And Ahab called to Obadiah, who was over the house (and Obadiah greatly feared Jehovah;

and it happened, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and had hidden them, fifty men in a cave, and had fed them with bread and water)

and Ahab said to Obadiah, Go through the land to all the fountains of water, and to all the torrents; perhaps we may find grass and keep alive horse and mule, and will not cut off any of the livestock.

And they divided the land to themselves, to pass over into it; Ahab went in one way by himself, and Obadiah went in another way by himself.
