(a) Give an account of the meeting between Elijah and Obadiah.

This was an unpopular question, as majority of the candidates who attempted this question did not perform satisfactorily because they confused it with the contest on Mount Camel. They did not show knowledge of the
story but few of them were able to do justice to the question. Points they ought to have mentioned included:

(i) The introduction of Baal worship in Israel by Jezebel Ahab's wife.
(ii) This brought famine to Israel for three and half years.
(iii) Obadiah's the man in charge of Ahab's household fed one hundred prophets of God.
(iv) While Obadiah was searching for water, he met Elijah.
(v) He asked Obadiah to report his presence to the king.
