1 Kings 18:7-13

7As Obadiah was on the road, all of a sudden, Elijah met him. When he recognized him, he fell on his face and said, “Is it you, my lord Elijah?”

8“It is I,” he answered him. Go tell your lord, ‘Look, Elijah is here!”

9“How have I sinned,” he replied, “that you are giving your servant into the hand of Ahab, to put me to death?

10As Adonai your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sent to search for you; and when they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made that kingdom or nation swear that they could not find you.

11“Now you’re saying, ‘Go tell your lord, “Look, Elijah is here!”’

12But as soon as I leave you, the Ruach Adonai may carry you off where I wouldn’t know. Then, when I come and tell Ahab and he can’t find you, he’ll kill me! Now I, your servant, have feared Adonai since my youth.

13Wasn’t my lord told what I did when Jezebel slaughtered the prophets of Adonai—how I hid 100 of Adonai’s prophets, 50 to a cave and provided them with bread and water?
