1 Kings 18:4 in Context — 1 Kings 18

2 Foi, pois, Elias a mostrar-se a Acabe. Havia naquele tempo grande fome em Samaria.

3 E Acabe chamou a Obadias seu mordomo, o qual Obadias era em grande maneira temeroso do SENHOR;

4 Porque quando Jezabel destruía aos profetas do SENHOR, Obadias tomou cem profetas, os quais escondeu de cinquenta em cinquenta por covas, e sustentou-os a pão e água.

5 E disse Acabe a Obadias: Vai pela terra a todas as fontes de águas, e a todos os ribeiros; que acaso acharemos grama com que conservemos a vida aos cavalos e às mulas, para que não nos fiquemos sem animais.

6 E repartiram entre si a terra para percorrerem-na; Acabe foi por si só por um caminho, e Obadias foi separadamente por outro.
