    1After many days, the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, "Go and present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the land."

    2So Elijah went to appear before Ahab. The famine in Samaria was severe.

    3Ahab summoned Obadiah, who was in charge of the palace. (Now Obadiah revered the LORD greatly.)

    4When Jezebel was killing the prophets of the LORD, Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets, hidden them in two caves in groups of fifty, and provided them with bread and water.

    5Ahab said to Obadiah, "Go through the land to all the springs and brooks. Perhaps we can find grass to keep the horses and mules alive and avoid losing the animals."

    6So they divided the land between them to search it. Ahab went in one direction by himself, and Obadiah went in another direction by himself.

    7While Obadiah was walking along the road, Elijah met him. Obadiah recognized him, bowed to the ground, and said, "Is it really you, my lord Elijah?"

    8Elijah replied, "It is I. Go and tell your master, 'Elijah is here.'"

    9But Obadiah said, "What have I done wrong that you are handing your servant over to Ahab to be killed?"

    11Now you tell me, 'Go and say to your master, Elijah is here!'

    12But I, your servant, fear that if I leave, the Spirit of the LORD will carry you off to some place I don't know, and when I go to tell Ahab and he cannot find you, he will kill me. Yet I, your servant, have feared the LORD from my youth.

    13Has it not been reported to my lord what I did when Jezebel was killing the prophets of the LORD? I hid a hundred of the LORD's prophets in two caves, fifty in each, and supplied them with bread and water.

    14And now you say, 'Go and tell your master, Elijah is here,' and he will kill me!

    15But Elijah said, "As surely as the LORD of Hosts lives, whom I serve, I will show myself to him today."
