1 Bien des jours s’écoulèrent, et la parole de l’Éternel fut ainsi adressée à Élie, dans la troisième année: Va, présente-toi devant Achab, et je ferai tomber de la pluie sur la face du sol.

2 Et Élie alla, pour se présenter devant Achab. La famine était grande à Samarie.

3 Et Achab fit appeler Abdias, chef de sa maison. Or Abdias craignait beaucoup l’Éternel;

4 et lorsque Jézabel extermina les prophètes de l’Éternel, Abdias prit cent prophètes qu’il cacha cinquante par cinquante dans une caverne, et il les avait nourris de pain et d’eau.
