1 It happened many days later that the word of Yahweh came to Elijah in the third year, saying, “Go, present yourself to Ahab so that I may give rain on the surface of the earth.”
2 So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria.
3 Ahab summoned Obadiah who was over the house. (Now Obadiah was fearing Yahweh greatly.
4 It had happened that when Jezebel killed the prophets of Yahweh, Obadiah took a hundred prophets and hid them by fifties in the cave and sustained them with food and water.)
