1 Kings 18:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ Ahab had sent for Obadiah. He was in charge of Ahab’s palace. Obadiah had great respect for the Lord. ⁴ Ahab’s wife Jezebel had been killing off the Lord’s prophets. So Obadiah had hidden 100 prophets in two caves. He had put 50 in each cave. He had supplied them with food and water. ⁵ Ahab had said to Obadiah, “Go through the land. Go to all the valleys and springs of water. Maybe we can find some grass there. It will keep the horses and mules alive. Then we won’t have to kill any of our animals.”
