1. After some time, in the third year of the drought, the Lord said to Elijah, “Go and present yourself to King Ahab, and I will send rain.”
2. So Elijah started out.The famine in Samaria was at its worst,
3. so Ahab called in Obadiah, who was in charge of the palace. (Obadiah was a devout worshipper of the Lord,
4. and when Jezebel was killing the Lord's prophets, Obadiah took a hundred of them, hid them in caves in two groups of fifty, and provided them with food and water.)
