6. So they divided the land between them to pass through it. Ahab went one way and Obadiah went another way, each by himself.
7. As Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him. He recognized him and fell on his face and said, Are you my lord Elijah?
8. He answered him, It is I. Go tell your lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
9. And he said, What sin have I committed, that you would deliver your servant into the hands of Ahab to be slain?
10. As the Lord your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek you. And when they said, He is not here, he took an oath from the kingdom or nation that they had not found you.
11. And now you say, Go tell your lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
12. And as soon as I have gone out from you, the Spirit of the Lord will carry you I know not where; so when I come and tell Ahab and he cannot find you, he will kill me. But I your servant have feared and revered the Lord from my youth.
