1 Kings 18:3-6

New International Version
3 and Ahab had summoned Obadiah, his palace administrator.(A) (Obadiah was a devout believer(B) in the Lord. 4 While Jezebel(C) was killing off the Lord’s prophets, Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden(D) them in two caves, fifty in each, and had supplied(E) them with food and water.) 5 Ahab had said to Obadiah, “Go through the land to all the springs(F) and valleys. Maybe we can find some grass to keep the horses and mules alive so we will not have to kill any of our animals.”(G)
