1Kings:18:1-15
rotherham@1Kings:18:1 @ And it came to pass, after many days, that, the word of Yahweh, came unto Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab, that I may send rain upon the face of the ground.
rotherham@1Kings:18:2 @ And Elijah went, to show himself unto Ahab. Now, the famine, was severe in Samaria.
rotherham@1Kings:18:3 @ And Ahab had called for Obadiah, who was over his house. Now, Obadiah, was one who revered Yahweh, exceedingly.
rotherham@1Kings:18:4 @ And so it came to pass, when Jezebel was cutting off the prophets of Yahweh, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifties in caves, and sustained them, with bread and water.
rotherham@1Kings:18:5 @ So then Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go, and let us pass throughout the land, unto all the fountains of water, and unto all the ravines, peradventure we may find grass, and save alive horse and mule, and not have more of the beasts cut off.
rotherham@1Kings:18:6 @ So they divided to them the land, to pass through it, Ahab, went one way, by himself, and, Obadiah, went another way, by himself.
rotherham@1Kings:18:7 @ And so it was, as Obadiah was on the road, that lo! Elijah, met him, and he recognised him, and fell upon his face, and said Now art, thou, my lord Elijah?
rotherham@1Kings:18:8 @ And he said to him I, am! Go, say to thy lord: Here, is, Elijah!
rotherham@1Kings:18:9 @ And he said How have I sinned, that, thou, art delivering thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to put me to death?
rotherham@1Kings:18:10 @ By the life of Yahweh thy God, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee, and, when they have said Nay! he hath taken an oath of the kingdom or the nation, that no one could find thee;
rotherham@1Kings:18:11 @ and, now, thou, art saying, Go say to thy lord, Here, is, Elijah;
rotherham@1Kings:18:12 @ so shall it come to pass, as soon as, I, go from thee, that, the spirit of Yahweh, shall carry thee awaywhither I know not, and so, when I go in to tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, then will he slay me, and yet, thy servant, hath revered Yahweh, from my youth.
rotherham@1Kings:18:13 @ Was it not told my lord, what I did when Jezebel was slaying the prophets of Yahweh, how I hid, of the prophets of Yahweh, a hundred menby fiftiesin caves, and sustained them with bread and water?
rotherham@1Kings:18:14 @ and yet, now, thou, art saying, Go, tell thy lord Here, is, Elijah; and so he will slay me!
rotherham@1Kings:18:15 @ Then said Elijah By the life of Yahweh of hosts, before whom I stand, to-day, will I show myself unto him.
