9. Obadiah replied:King Ahab would kill me if I told him that. And I haven't even done anything wrong.
10. I swear to you in the name of the living Lord your God that the king has looked everywhere for you. He sent people to look in every country, and when they couldn't find you, he made the leader of each country swear that you were not in that country.
11. Do you really want me to tell him you're here?
12. What if the Lord's Spirit takes you away as soon as I leave? When Ahab comes to get you, he won't find you. Then he will surely kill me.I have worshipped the Lord since I was a boy.
13. I even hid a hundred of the Lord's prophets in caves when Jezebel was trying to kill them. I also gave them food and water.
14. Do you really want me to tell Ahab you're here? He will kill me!
15. Elijah said, “I'm a servant of the living Lord All-Powerful, and I swear in his name that I will meet with Ahab today.”
