◀ 1Ki 18:81Ki 18:10 ▶

He said, “How have I sinned, that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me?

Context

6So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it. Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
7As Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him. He recognized him, and fell on his face, and said, “Is it you, my lord Elijah?”
8He answered him, “It is I. Go, tell your lord, ‘Behold, Elijah is here!’ ”
9He said, “How have I sinned, that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me?
10As Yahweh your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek you. When they said, ‘He is not here,’ he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they didn’t find you.
11Now you say, ‘Go, tell your lord, “Behold, Elijah is here.” ’
12It will happen, as soon as I leave you, that Yahweh’s Spirit will carry you I don’t know where; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he can’t find you, he will kill me. But I, your servant, have feared Yahweh from my youth.
