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.)
Ahab told Obadiah,“Go through the land to all the springs and valleys. Maybe we can find some grazing areas so we can keep the horses and mules alive and not have to kill some of the animals.”
They divided up the land between them to search it; Ahab went one way by himself and Obadiah went the other way by himself.
As Obadiah was traveling along, Elijah met him. When he recognized him, he fell facedown to the ground and said,“Is it really you, my master, Elijah?”
