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.(1 Reyes 18:5)

So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.(1 Reyes 18:6)

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?(1 Reyes 18:7)

And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?(1 Reyes 18:9)

As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.(1 Reyes 18:10)

And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is here.(1 Reyes 18:11)
