1 Kings 18:6

---

← 1 Kings 18:5	1 Kings 18:6 (KJV)	1 Kings 18:7 →
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.	So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.	And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, [Art] thou that my lord Elijah?
