Obadiah fears Ahab

9And he said, “What have I sinned, that you are giving your servant into Ahab’s hand to put me to death?”

10As Yahweh your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek you. When they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made the kingdom and the nation swear that they could not find you.

11And now you are saying, ‘Go, say to your lord, “Look, Elijah is here.”’

12And when I go away from you, the Spirit of Yahweh may carry you where I do not know. Then when I come and tell Ahab and he does not find you, he will kill me—though your servant has feared Yahweh from my youth.

13Has it not been told to my lord what I did when Jezebel was killing the prophets of Yahweh—how I hid a hundred of the prophets of Yahweh, fifty men in each cave, and provided them with bread and water?

14And now you are saying, ‘Go, tell your lord, “Look, Elijah is here,”’ and he will kill me.’
