(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was when,cut_off ʼĪzeⱱel/(Jezebel) DOM prophets_of YHWH and=he/it_took ˊOⱱadyāh hundred prophets and,he,hid_them fifty (a)_man in,cave and,he,supplied_them food/grain/bread and,water )
The author is using 50 men in the cave as a common expression of his culture to mean that Obadiah hid 50 men in each of two caves. If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [by fifties in each of two caves]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
לֶ֥חֶם
food/grain/bread
The author is using one kind of food, bread, to mean food in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly, and in verse 13. Alternate translation: [with food]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
