    1Elijah Meets the King’s Servant Some time later, in the third year of the famine, the LORD’S message came to Elijah,“Go, make an appearance before Ahab, so I may send rain on the surface of the ground.”

    2So Elijah went to make an appearance before Ahab.Now the famine was severe in Samaria.

    3So Ahab summoned Obadiah, who supervised the palace.(Now Obadiah was a very loyal follower of the LORD.

    4When Jezebel was killing the LORD’s prophets, Obadiah took one hundred prophets and hid them in two caves in two groups of fifty. He also brought them food and water.)

    5Ahab told Obadiah,“Go through the land to all the springs and valleys. Maybe we can find some grazing areas so we can keep the horses and mules alive and not have to kill some of the animals.”

    7As Obadiah was traveling along, Elijah met him. When he recognized him, he fell facedown to the ground and said,“Is it really you, my master, Elijah?”

    8He replied,“Yes, go and say to your master,‘Elijah is back.’”

    9Obadiah said,“What sin have I committed that you are ready to hand your servant over to Ahab for execution?

    10As certainly as the LORD your God lives, my master has sent to every nation and kingdom in an effort to find you. When they say,‘He’s not here,’ he makes them swear an oath that they could not find you.

    11Now you say,‘Go and say to your master,“Elijah is back.”’

    12But when I leave you, the LORD’s Spirit will carry you away so I can’t find you. If I go tell Ahab I’ve seen you, he won’t be able to find you and he will kill me. That would not be fair, because your servant has been a loyal follower of the LORD from my youth.

    13Certainly my master is aware of what I did when Jezebel was killing the LORD’s prophets. I hid one hundred of the LORD’s prophets in two caves in two groups of fifty and I brought them food and water.
