*
And it came to pass after many days ,
that the word of LORD came to Elijah ,
in the third year ,
saying ,
Go ,
show thyself to Ahab ,
and I will send rain upon the earth .
*
And Elijah went to show himself to Ahab .
And the famine was severe in Samaria .
*
And Ahab called Obadiah ,
who was over the household . (
Now Obadiah feared LORD greatly ;
*
for it was so ,
when Jezebel cut off the prophets of LORD ,
that Obadiah took a hundred prophets ,
and hid them by fifties in a cave ,
and 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 brooks .
Perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive ,
that we not lose all the beasts .
*
So 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 ,
behold ,
Elijah met him .
And he knew him ,
and fell on his face ,
and said ,
Is it thou ,
my lord Elijah ?
*
And he answered him ,
It is I .
Go ,
tell thy lord ,
Behold ,
Elijah [
is here ].
*
And he said ,
How have I sinned that thou would deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab to kill me ?
*
As LORD thy God lives ,
there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek thee .
And when they said ,
He is not here ,
he took an oath from the kingdom and nation that they did not find thee .
*
And now thou say ,
Go ,
tell thy lord ,
Behold ,
Elijah [
is here ].
*
And it will come to pass ,
as soon as I am gone from thee ,
that the Spirit of LORD will carry thee where I know not .
And so when I come and tell Ahab ,
and he cannot find thee ,
he will kill me .
But I thy servant fear LORD from my you
*
Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of LORD ,
how I hid a hundred men of LORD '
s prophets by fifties in a cave ,
and fed them with bread and water ?
*
And now thou say ,
Go ,
tell thy lord ,
Behold ,
Elijah [
is here ],
and he will kill me .
*
And Elijah said ,
As LORD of hosts lives ,
before whom I stand ,
I will surely show myself to him today .
