    1 And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show yourself to Ahab; and I will send rain upon the earth.

    2 And Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. And there was a severe famine in Samaria.

    3 And Ahab called Obadiah, who was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:

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

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

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

    7 And as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Are you my lord Elijah?

    8 And he answered him, I am: go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah is here.

    9 And he said, What have I sinned, that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?

    11 And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah is here.

    12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from you, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry you where I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find you, he shall slay me: but I your servant have feared the LORD from my youth.

    13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the LORD, how I hid a hundred men of the LORD's prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

    14 And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me.

    15 And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today.

    17 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, Are you he who troubles Israel?

    18 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but you and your father's house have, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and you have followed Baalim.

    19 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, who eat at Jezebel's table.

    20 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together to mount Carmel.
