Elijah 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.”
So Elijah went to make an appearance before Ahab.Now the famine was severe in Samaria.
So Ahab summoned Obadiah, who supervised the palace.(Now Obadiah was a very loyal follower of the LORD.
When 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.)
