    1 It happened after many days, that the word of Yahweh came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, "Go, show yourself to Ahab; and I will send rain on the earth."

    2 Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. The famine was severe in Samaria.

    3 Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared Yahweh greatly:

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

    5 Ahab said to Obadiah, "Go through the land, to all the springs of water, and to all the brooks. Perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we not lose all the animals."

    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 As Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he recognized him, and fell on his face, and said, "Is it you, my lord Elijah?"

    8 He answered him, "It is I. Go, tell your lord, 'Behold, Elijah is here!'"

    9 He said, "Wherein have I sinned, that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me?

    13 Wasn't it told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of Yahweh, how I hid one hundred men of Yahweh's prophets with fifty to a cave, and fed them with bread and water?

    14 Now you say, 'Go, tell your lord, "Behold, Elijah is here;"' and he will kill me."

    15 Elijah said, "As Yahweh of Armies lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today."

    17 It happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, "Is that you, you troubler of Israel?"

    18 He answered, "I have not troubled Israel; but you, and your father's house, in that you have forsaken the commandments of Yahweh, and you have followed the Baals.

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

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