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.

5 Achab dit à Abdias: Va par le pays vers toutes les sources d’eau et vers tous les torrents; peut-être se trouvera-t-il de l’herbe, et nous conserverons la vie aux chevaux et aux mulets, et nous n’aurons pas besoin d’abattre du bétail.

6 Ils se partagèrent le pays pour le parcourir; Achab alla seul par un chemin, et Abdias alla seul par un autre chemin.
