And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go through the land, unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks: peradventure we may find grass to save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts — Ahab sends Obadiah to search for water and grass. The phrase shows even the king's concerns with animal survival during the famine. The search mission becomes the occasion for Elijah's dramatic encounter.
