6So they went through all the country, covering it between them; Ahab went in one direction by himself, and Obadiah went in another by himself.
7And while Obadiah was on his way, he came face to face with Elijah; and seeing who it was, he went down on his face and said, Is it you, my lord Elijah?
8And Elijah in answer said, It is I; now go and say to your lord, Elijah is here.
9And he said, What sin have I done, that you would give up your servant into the hand of Ahab, and be the cause of my death?
10By the life of the Lord your God, there is not a nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent in search of you; and when they said, He is not here; he made them take an oath that they had not seen you.
11And now you say, Go, say to your lord, Elijah is here.
12And straight away, when I have gone from you, the spirit of the Lord will take you away, I have no idea where, so that when I come and give word to Ahab, and he sees you not, he will put me to death: though I, your servant, have been a worshipper of the Lord from my earliest years.
