nkjv 1Kings:18:1-15
nkjv@1Kings:18:1 @ And it came to pass after many days that the word of the LORD came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, "Go, present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the earth."
nkjv@1Kings:18:2 @ So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab; and there was a severe famine in Samaria.
nkjv@1Kings:18:3 @ And Ahab had called Obadiah, who was in charge of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly.
nkjv@1Kings:18:4 @ For so it was, while Jezebel massacred the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah had taken one hundred prophets and hidden them, fifty to a cave, and had fed them with bread and water.)
nkjv@1Kings:18:5 @ And Ahab had said to Obadiah, "Go into the land to all the springs of water and to all the brooks; perhaps we may find grass to keep the horses and mules alive, so that we will not have to kill any livestock."
nkjv@1Kings:18:6 @ So they divided the land between them to explore it; Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
nkjv@1Kings:18:7 @ Now as Obadiah was on his way, suddenly Elijah met him; and he recognized him, and fell on his face, and said, "Is that you, my lord Elijah?"
nkjv@1Kings:18:8 @ And he answered him, "It is I. Go, tell your master, "Elijah is here."'
nkjv@1Kings:18:9 @ So he said, "How have I sinned, that you are delivering your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me?
nkjv@1Kings:18:10 @ As the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sent someone to hunt for you; and when they said, "He is not here,' he took an oath from the kingdom or nation that they could not find you.
nkjv@1Kings:18:11 @ And now you say, "Go, tell your master, "Elijah is here"'!
nkjv@1Kings:18:12 @ And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from you, that the Spirit of the LORD will carry you to a place I do not know; so when I go and tell Ahab, and he cannot find you, he will kill me. But I your servant have feared the LORD from my youth.
nkjv@1Kings:18:13 @ Was it not reported to my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the LORD, how I hid one hundred men of the LORD's prophets, fifty to a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
nkjv@1Kings:18:14 @ And now you say, "Go, tell your master, "Elijah is here."' He will kill me!"
nkjv@1Kings:18:15 @ Then Elijah said, "As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely present myself to him today."
