geneva@1Kings:18:1 @ And it came to pass [after] many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the (note:)After that he departed from the river Cherith.(:note) third year, saying, Go, shew thyself unto Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.
geneva@1Kings:18:2 @ And Eliiah went to shew himselfe vnto Ahab, and there was a great famine in Samaria.
geneva@1Kings:18:3 @ And Ahab called Obadiah, which [was] the governor of [his] house. (Now Obadiah (note:)God had begun to work his fear in his heart, but had not yet brought him to the knowledge which is also required of the godly: that is, to profess his Name openly.(:note) feared the LORD greatly:
geneva@1Kings:18:4 @ For when Iezebel destroyed the Prophets of the Lorde, Obadiah tooke an hundreth Prophets, and hid them, by fiftie in a caue, and he fed them with bread and water.)
geneva@1Kings:18:5 @ And Ahab saide vnto Obadiah, Goe into the land, vnto all the fountaines of water, and vnto all the riuers, if so be that we may finde grasse to saue the horses and the mules aliue, lest we depriue the lande of the beastes.
geneva@1Kings:18:6 @ And so they deuided the lande betweene them to walke thorowe it. Ahab went one way by him selfe, and Obadiah went another way by him selfe.
geneva@1Kings:18:7 @ And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah (note:)God often pities the wicked for the sake of the godly, and causes Elijah to meet with Obadiah, that the blessing might be known to be granted for the sake of God's children.(:note) met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, [Art] thou that my lord Elijah?
geneva@1Kings:18:8 @ And he answered him, Yea, goe tell thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here.
geneva@1Kings:18:9 @ And he said, What haue I sinned, that thou wouldest deliuer thy seruant into the hande of Ahab, to slay me?

geneva@1Kings:18:11 @ And now thou sayest, Goe, tell thy lorde, Beholde, Eliiah is here.
geneva@1Kings:18:12 @ And it shall come to pass, [as soon as] I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and [so] when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant (note:)I am not of the wicked persecutors that you should procure to me such displeasure, but serve God and favour his children.(:note) fear the LORD from my youth.
geneva@1Kings:18:13 @ Was it not tolde my lord, what I did when Iezebel slew the Prophets of the Lord, how I hid an hundreth men of the Lordes Prophets by fifties in a caue, and fed them with bread & water?
