In other words, you have followed gods, Baal gods. Now, Baalim is simply the plural for the word Baal. “And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, ‘Art thou he that troubleth Israel?’ And he answered, ‘I have not troubled Israel but thou, and thy father’s house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.’ And that’s where we pick up the story in the 17th verse of chapter 18, And he was very much afraid, though he was a prophet of God, that if he went to Ahab and announced that Elijah was here, that when they came to find Elijah he might be gone, and then Ahab might turn on Obadiah, and it would be too bad for Obadiah.īut Elijah persuades him, and he does go to Ahab, and he comes back, and finally, Ahab now confronts Elijah again. Now Obadiah was somewhat upset by that, because he realized that the bloodhounds of Ahab had been searching for the Prophet Elijah for a considerable amount of time, years in fact, since he made that announcement. And while out, Obadiah the prophet meet Elijah, returning from Sidon to the land of Israel.Īnd he falls down before Elijah and says, “Art thou that, my lord, Elijah?” And Elijah says, yes, he is Elijah, and he directs Obadiah to go to King Ahab and tell him, Elijah is here.

The king is very much concerned about food for his animals, so he and Obadiah the prophet go out seeking some green grass, in order that the animals might have sustenance. Now the circumstances of this meeting are described in the first part of the chapter. Now in the 18th chapter of the Book of 1 Kings, Elijah receives word from the Lord that he should go and show himself to Ahab, and that rain is soon to come upon the earth. While there, the widow’s son died, and Elijah was enabled by the power of God to resuscitate, restore to life that child. From there God directed the Prophet Elijah to Zarephath in the land of Sidon, and he dwelt there and a widow woman sustained him at that place. Now you’ll remember in our study of the Prophet Elijah, who ministered in the time of King Ahab of Israel, that he announced to Ahab, “As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years but according to my word.” And then God led Elijah off to hide at the brook Cherith, and there he was fed by the ravens. Chapter 18 and begin reading with the 17th verse.
