The Lord now instructs Elijah to go to Ahab and say that the Lord will send rain, this was probably after about three years of drought.
Menawhile Obadiah had been summoned by Ahab. Obadiah was working secretly to help save as many of God' prophets as possible from Jezebel who was seeking to kill of the prophets. The enemy does not want people who will speak the word of God. The same is true today which is why we witness our society trying to silence the preaching of God's word. So we see that God has people who work in outright opposition to the enemy, as Elijah did, and people who work in a more covert fashion. We should never imagine that God has only one manner of working.
The drought was getting very serious and Ahab was having to hunt harder and harder for food to keep the animals alive.
Obadiah meets Elijah on his way back and is not too pleased. He knows that Elijah is considered an enemy of Israel and can see only trouble. This is made even worse by Elijah's instruction to Obadiah to go and tell Ahab that Elijah is back. So Elijah goes himself to the king.
