1. Elijah goes to Ahab (1-2a)

The drought had lasted three years. Then, the Lord told Elijah to present himself to Ahab and that the Lord would then send rain. Although it was dangerous, Elijah obeyed.

2. Obadiah (2b-15)

Obadiah worked for Ahab, but he was a devout believer. He had saved 100 of the Lord's prophets from Jezebel. Ahab had sent him out to find fodder for their animals. Instead, he found Elijah! When Elijah told him to tell Ahab where he was, Obadiah was afraid. He assumed Elijah would run away and Ahab would kill Obadiah. But Elijah assured him, "I will present myself to Ahab today."

3. Elijah meets with Ahab (16-19)

Elijah didn't fear Ahab. When they met, Elijah rebuked him for his wickedness and his sin of abandoning the Lord's commands. He told Ahab to assemble the prophets of Baal and Asherah.
