Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of 1 Kings 18:5:

• Kupsabiny: “Then, Ahab said to Obadiah, ‘Go and check the water springs in the whole land and all the streams (in the small valleys). Go and check if we could possibly get some grass to rescue the horses and the donkeys so that some of the animals may not die.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
• Newari: “Ahab said to Obadiah, "Go to all the springs of the land and along all the rivers. Might there be a little grass for our horses and mules to eat? If there is grass, we might not have to kill them.”” (Source: Newari Back Translation)
• Hiligaynon: “Ahab said to Obadias, ‘We (incl.) will-go to all the springs and place-where- water -flows in our (incl.) nation, for we (incl.) might be-able-to-see grass for our (incl.) horses and mules, so we (incl.) do- not -need to kill them.’” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)
• English: “By this time, the famine/lack of food and water had become very severe in Samaria. So Ahab summoned Obadiah and said to him, ‘We must check/look near every spring and in every valley to see if we can find enough grass to give to some of my horses and mules, so that they will not all die.’” (Source: Translation for Translators)
