6 So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadi´ah went another way by himself.
7 And as Obadi´ah was in the way, behold, Eli´jah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, Art thou that my lord Eli´jah?
8 And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Eli´jah is here.
9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
10 As the Lord thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom, whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.
11 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Eli´jah is here.
12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the Lord shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the Lord from my youth.
