* And it happened [after ] many days the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year saying , Go , show yourself to Ahab . And I will send rain on the earth . * And Elijah went to be seen himself to Ahab . And [there was ] a great famine in Samaria . * And Ahab called Obadiah , who [was ] over the house . (And Obadiah feared the LORD greatly , * for it happened when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD , Obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifty in a cave , and fed them with bread and water .) * And Ahab said to Obadiah , Go into the land , to all fountains of water , and to all the torrents . Perhaps we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive , so that we do not lose all the animals . * And they divided the land between them to pass throughout it . Ahab went one way by himself , and Obadiah went another way by himself . * And as Obadiah was in the way , and behold ! Elijah met him . And he knew him , and fell on his face , and said , [Are ] you my lord Elijah ? * and he answered him , I [am ]. Go , tell your lord , behold , Elijah [is here ]. * And he said , What have I sinned that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab to kill me ? * [As ] the LORD your God lives , there is no nation nor kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek you . And when they said , He is not there , he took an oath of the kingdom and nation that they did not find you . * And now you say , Go , tell your lord , Behold , Elijah [is here ]! * And it will be as soon as I have gone from you , the Spirit of the LORD shall carry you where I know not . And when I come and tell Ahab , and he cannot find you , he will kill me . But I , your servant , have feared the LORD from my youth . * Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the LORD , how I hid a hundred men of the LORD 's prophets by fifty in a cave and fed them with bread and water ? * And now you say , Go , tell your lord , Behold , Elijah ! And he will kill me ! * And Elijah said , [As ] the LORD of hosts lives , before whom I stand , I will surely be seen by him today .
