12. And it will happen that I will go from you and the Spirit of Yahweh will carry you up to where I do not know. Then I will come to tell Ahab, but he will not find you, and then he will kill me, even though your servant has feared Yahweh from my youth.

13. Has it not been told to my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of Yahweh? I hid a hundred men of the prophets of Yahweh by fifties in the cave, and I sustained them with food and water.

14. Now you are saying, ‘Go, say to your lord: “Elijah is here,” ’ and he will kill me.”

15. Elijah said, “As Yahweh of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will certainly show myself to him today.”

16. So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and he told him, so Ahab went to meet Elijah.
