Elijah Returns to Ahab
1 Kings 18:1-6
1
A long time passed. Then, in the third year, the word of ADONAI came to Eliyahu: "Go, present yourself to Ach'av, and I will send rain down on the land."
2
When Eliyahu went to present himself to Ach'av, the famine in Shomron had become severe.
3
Ach'av called 'Ovadyah, who was in charge of the palace. Now 'Ovadyah greatly revered ADONAI;
4
for example, when Izevel was murdering ADONAI's prophets, 'Ovadyah took a hundred prophets, hid them in two caves, fifty in each, and supplied them with food and water.
5
Ach'av said to 'Ovadyah, "Go throughout the land, and check all the springs and vadis; maybe we can find grass somewhere, so that we can keep the horses and mules alive and not lose all the animals."
6
So they divided between them the territory to be visited; Ach'av went one way by himself, and 'Ovadyah went another way by himself.
