11. And now you say, ‘Go and tell your master, “Elijah is here.”’
12. But as soon as I leave you, the Spirit of the lord will carry you away to who knows where. When Ahab comes and cannot find you, he will kill me. Yet I have been a true servant of the lord all my life.
13. Has no one told you, my lord, about the time when Jezebel was trying to kill the lord’s prophets? I hid 100 of them in two caves and supplied them with food and water.
14. And now you say, ‘Go and tell your master, “Elijah is here.”’ Sir, if I do that, Ahab will certainly kill me.”
15. But Elijah said, “I swear by the lord Almighty, in whose presence I stand, that I will present myself to Ahab this very day.”
16. So Obadiah went to tell Ahab that Elijah had come, and Ahab went out to meet Elijah.
