1 Kings 18:7-14
7Now as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him, 1and he recognized him and fell on his face and said, “Is it you, Elijah my master?”
8And he said to him, “It is I. Go, say to your master, ‘Behold, Elijah is here.’”
9But he said, “What 2sin have I committed, that you are handing your servant over to Ahab, to put me to death?
103As surely as the Lord your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom to which my master has not sent word to search for you; and whenever they say, ‘He is not here,’ he makes the kingdom or nation swear that they could not find you.
11Yet now you are saying, ‘Go, say to your master, “Behold, Elijah is here!”’
12And it will come about when I leave you 4that the Spirit of the Lord will carry you to where I do not know; so when I come and inform Ahab and he cannot find you, he will kill me, though I, your servant, have 5feared the Lord from my youth.
136Has it not been reported to my master what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the Lord, that I hid a hundred 7prophets of the Lord by fifties in a cave, and provided them with bread and water?
14Yet now you are saying, ‘Go, say to your master, “Behold, Elijah is here”’; he will then kill me!”
