THE BIBLE OF AMIENS.
| 19, | d. | The place where it rained not (iv. 7).
Amos is gathering the leaves of the fruitless vine, to feed the sheep, who find no grass. One of the finest of the reliefs. |
| 20. Obadiah. | ||
| Inside Porch. | ||
| 20, | A. | "I hid them in a cave " (2 Kings xviii. 1 3).
Three prophets at the mouth of a well, to whom Obadiah brings loaves. |
| 20, | b. | "He fell on his face" (xviii. 7).
He kneels before Elijah, who wears his rough mantle. |
| To the front. | ||
| 20, | c. | The captain of fifty. Elijah (?) speaking to an armed man under a tree. |
| 20, | d. | The Messenger.
A messenger on his knees before a king. I cannot interpret these two scenes (20 c and 20 d). The uppermost may mean the dialogue of Elijah with the captains, (2 Kings i. 2), and the lower one, the return of the messengers (2 King i. 5). |
| 21. Jonah. | ||
| 21. | a. | Escaped from the sea. |
