Elijah Meets Obadiah
1 Kings 18:7-16
7
And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Eliiah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art not thou my lord Eliiah?
8
And he answered him, Yea, goe tell thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here.
9
And he said, What haue I sinned, that thou wouldest deliuer thy seruant into the hande of Ahab, to slay me?
10
As the Lord thy God liueth, there is no nation or kingdome, whither my lorde hath not sent to seeke thee: and when they sayd, He is not here, he tooke an othe of the kingdome and nation, if they had not found thee.
11
And now thou sayest, Goe, tell thy lorde, Beholde, Eliiah is here.
12
And when I am gone from thee, the Spirit of the Lord shall cary thee into some place that I doe not know: so when I come and tell Ahab, if he cannot finde thee, then wil he kill me: But I thy seruant feare the Lord from my youth.
13
Was it not tolde my lord, what I did when Iezebel slew the Prophets of the Lord, how I hid an hundreth men of the Lordes Prophets by fifties in a caue, and fed them with bread and water?
14
And now thou sayest, Go, tel thy lord, Behold, Eliiah is here, that he may slay me.
15
And Eliiah said, As the Lord of hostes liueth, before whome I stand, I will surely shewe my selfe vnto him this day.
16
So Obadiah went to meete Ahab, and tolde him: And Ahab went to meete Eliiah.
