So they divided the land for themselves in order to pass through it; Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself. It happened that Obadiah [was] on the way, and suddenly Elijah was there to meet him. When he recognized him, he fell on his face and said, "[Is] this you, my lord Elijah?" He said to him, "I [am]. Go, say to your lord, 'Elijah [is] here.'" He said, "How have I sinned that you [are] giving your servant into the hand of Ahab to kill me? {As Yahweh your God lives}, surely there is not a nation or a kingdom to which my lord has not sent me to seek you. [If] they would say, 'He is not here,' then he would make the kingdom or the nation swear that it could not find you. Now you [are] saying, 'Go, say to your lord: "Elijah [is] here." ' 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. 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. Now you [are] saying, 'Go, say to your lord: "Elijah [is] here," ' and he will kill me." Elijah said, "{As Yahweh of hosts lives}, before whom I stand, I will certainly show myself to him today." So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and he told him, so Ahab went to meet Elijah.
