Read 1 Kings 18.1-16. In 18.1-46: Contest on Mount Carmel. In verse 3: Obadiah is loyal to Yahweh, his name means "servant of Yahweh." In verse 4: There is no story preserved about Jezebel killing off the prophets of the Lord. In verse 5: Ahab is more concerned about saving his animals than about his wife's slaughter of the Lord's prophets. In verses 7-8: Obadiah calls Elijah my lord, but Elijah refers to Ahab as your lord, thus hinting that he is not pleased about Obadiah being a servant to such a wicked king. In verse 12: Obadiah's fear about Elijah's disappearance shows the aura of mystery and power that surrounded the prophet. In verse 15: Lord of Hosts is a title for Yahweh indicating his authority over the armies or hosts of both heaven and earth. Comments or Questions..
