He has sent people to every country to find you. Why do you want me to die? 10 As surely as the Lord your God lives, the king has been looking for you everywhere. Now, go and tell your master, the king, that I am here.”ĩ Obadiah said, “If I tell Ahab that I know where you are, he will kill me! I have done nothing wrong to you. He said, “Elijah? Is it really you, master?”Ĩ Elijah answered, “Yes, it is me.

Obadiah recognized him and bowed down to show his respect. 7 As Obadiah was walking along the road by himself, he looked up, and there was Elijah. Ahab went in one direction by himself, and Obadiah went in another direction by himself. Then we will not have to kill our animals.” 6 They decided where each of them would go to look for water. We will see if we can find enough grass to keep our horses and mules alive. We will look at every spring and every stream in the land. Then he brought them food and water.) 5 King Ahab said to Obadiah, “Come with me. He put 50 prophets in one cave and 50 prophets in another cave. 4 One time when Jezebel was killing all the Lord’s prophets, Obadiah hid 100 prophets in two caves. (Obadiah was a true follower of the Lord. Obadiah was the man in charge of the king’s palace. 3 So King Ahab told Obadiah to come to him. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty ( S) days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, ( T) the mountain of God.18 During the third year that no rain fell, the Lord said to Elijah, “Go meet with King Ahab, and I will make it rain.” 2 So Elijah went to meet with Ahab. He ate and drank and then lay down again.ħ The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.” 8 So he got up and ate and drank. ( Q)Īll at once an angel ( R) touched him and said, “Get up and eat.” 6 He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. “Take my life ( P) I am no better than my ancestors.” 5 Then he lay down under the bush and fell asleep. He came to a broom bush, ( O) sat down under it and prayed that he might die. ( M) When he came to Beersheba ( N) in Judah, he left his servant there, 4 while he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness. 2 So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, ( J) if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.” ( K)ģ Elijah was afraid and ran ( L) for his life. Elijah Flees to Horebġ9 Now Ahab told Jezebel ( H) everything Elijah had done and how he had killed ( I) all the prophets with the sword.

( E) 46 The power ( F) of the Lord came on Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, ( G) he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.

So Elijah said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’”Ĥ5 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain ( D) started falling and Ahab rode off to Jezreel. And he went up and looked.Ĥ4 The seventh time ( B) the servant reported, “A cloud ( C) as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.” ( A)Ĥ3 “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. 41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.” 42 So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.
