5By this time, the ◄famine/lack of food and water► had become very severe in Samaria. So Ahab summoned Obadiah and said to him, “We must check/look near every spring and in every valley to see if we can find enough grass to give to some of my horses and mules, so that they will not all die.”
6So they both started walking throughout the land. Obadiah went in one direction by hmself, and Ahab went in another direction by himself.
7While Obadiah was walking along, he saw Elijah coming toward him. Obadiah recognized Elijah and bowed down in front of him and said, “Is it really you, Elijah, my master?”
8Elijah replied, “Yes. Now go and tell Ahab, your master, that I am here.”
9Obadiah objected. He said, “Sir, I have not RHQ harmed you at all. So why are you sending me back to Ahab? He will kill me!
10Yahweh your God knows that I am telling the truth when I solemnly declare that King Ahab has searched in every kingdom all over the world HYP to find you. Each time that some king said to him, ‘Elijah is not here,’ Ahab demanded that the king of that country solemnly swear/declare that the king was telling the truth.
