9 And he said, How have I sinned, that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
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 there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found you not.
11 And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah is here.
12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from you, that the spirit of the LORD shall carry you I know not where; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find you, he shall slay me: but I your servant fear the LORD from my youth.
13 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the prophets of the LORD, how I hid a hundred men of the LORD'S prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
14 And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Elijah is here: and he shall slay me.
15 And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him today.
