1 Kings 18:4


1 Kings 18:3 1 Kings 18:4 (KJV) 1 Kings 18:5
And Ahab called Obadiah, which [was] the governor of [his] house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
For it was [so], when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD, that Obadiah took an hundred prophets, and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water.)
And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go into the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.
