1It 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."
2Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. The famine was severe in Samaria.
3Ahab called Obadiah, who was over the household. (Now Obadiah feared Yahweh greatly:

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

13Wasn'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?
14Now you say, 'Go, tell your lord, "Behold, Elijah is here;"' and he will kill me."
