1 Raja-raja 18:9-18
18:9 Obadiah
1 said, “What sin have I committed that you are ready to hand your servant over to Ahab for execution?
2
18:10 As certainly as the
Lord your God lives, my master has sent to every nation and kingdom in an effort to find you. When they say, ‘He’s not here,’ he makes them
3 swear an oath that they could not find you.
18:11 Now you say, ‘Go and say to your master, “Elijah is back.”’
4
18:12 But when I leave you, the
Lord’s spirit will carry you away so I can’t find you.
5 If I go tell Ahab I’ve seen you, he won’t be able to find you and he will kill me.
6 That would not be fair,
7 because your servant has been a loyal follower of
8 the
Lord from my youth.
18:13 Certainly my master is aware of what I did
9 when Jezebel was killing the
Lord’s prophets. I hid one hundred of the
Lord’s prophets in two caves in two groups of fifty and I brought them food and water.
18:14 Now you say, ‘Go and say to your master, “Elijah is back,”’
10 but he will kill me.”
18:15 But Elijah said, “As certainly as the
Lord who rules over all 11 lives (whom I serve),
12 I will make an appearance before him today.”
Elijah Confronts Baal’s Prophets
18:16 When Obadiah went and informed Ahab, the king went to meet Elijah. 13
18:17 When Ahab saw Elijah, he 14 said to him, “Is it really you, the one who brings disaster 15 on Israel?”
18:18 Elijah 16 replied, “I have not brought disaster 17 on Israel. But you and your father’s dynasty have, by abandoning the Lord’s commandments and following the Baals.
