1 Now it was after many days that the word of Adonai came to Elijah in the third year saying, “Go, show yourself to Ahab; then I will send rain on the land.
2 So Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. Now the famine was severe in Samaria.
3 Ahab summoned Obadiah who was the steward of the palace. Now Obadiah feared Adonai greatly—
4 for when Jezebel was cutting off the prophets of Adonai, Obadiah took 100 prophets, hid them 50 to a cave, and provided them with bread and water.
