1 Kings 18:4
18:4 a Obadiah’s care for 100 of the Lord’s prophets may indicate a group of prophets such as had existed since Samuel’s time (1 Sam 10:5-18 b; 19:20 c, 24 d). Such groups met together for study and mutual spiritual encouragement and are mentioned several times (2 Kgs 4:1 e, 38 f; 9:1 g). Elijah and Elisha apparently exercised leadership in some of these groups (2 Kgs 2:3-7 h, 15 i; 6:1-7 j).
