⁵ Ahab said to Obadiah, “·Let’s [Go] check every spring and valley in the land. Maybe we can find enough grass to keep our horses and mules alive and not have to kill our animals.” ⁶ So ·each one chose a part of the country to search [they divided the land between them]; Ahab ·went in one direction [^Lwalked one way by himself] and Obadiah ·in another [^Lwalked one way by himself].

⁷ While Obadiah was on his way, Elijah met him. Obadiah recognized Elijah, so he ·bowed down to the ground [^Lfell on his face] and said, “Elijah? Is it really you, ·master [my lord]?”
