The king and I have split the country between us, looking at every spring and valley for grass. Anything to keep the horses and mules alive. He’s gone one way, I’ve gone the other.

Runs Ahab’s palace. Worships the LORD. Nervous.
In charge of King Ahab’s palace. I’ve worshipped the LORD since I was a boy, which isn’t easy in this house. When Jezebel was hunting down the LORD’s prophets, I hid a hundred of them in two caves and kept them fed.

And who’s standing in the road? Elijah. He wants me to go and tell Ahab Elijah’s here. Does he know the king has searched every nation for him? The moment I leave, the Spirit of the LORD will whisk him off somewhere, Ahab won’t find him, and he’ll kill me. I’ve worshipped the LORD since I was a boy! Honestly.

Out on the road looking for grass, and who’s walking towards me. Knew him the second I saw him. Fell flat on my face. Elijah? Is that actually you?

It’s me, he says. Go and tell your king Elijah’s here.

Does he know what he’s asking? The king has searched every nation for him. I go and tell Ahab, the Spirit of the LORD carries him off somewhere, Ahab can’t find him, and I’m the one who dies.

I’ve feared the LORD since I was a boy. I’m just saying.

He swore by the LORD he serves: he’ll show himself to Ahab today. Okay then.
