2And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab. And the famine was sore in Samaria.

3And Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly:

4for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of Jehovah, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)

5And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go through the land, unto all the fountains of water, and unto all the brooks: peradventure we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.

6So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.

7And 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?

8And he answered him, It is I: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah [is here].
