1 Kings 18 — Context

5

Then Ahab said to Obadiah, "Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys; perhaps we will find grass and keep the horses and mules alive, and not have to kill some of the cattle."

6

So they divided the land between them to survey it; Ahab went one way by himself and Obadiah went another way by himself.

7

Now as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him, and he recognized him and fell on his face and said, "Is this you, Elijah my master?"

8

He said to him, "It is I. Go, say to your master, 'Behold, Elijah is here.'"

9

He said, "What sin have I committed, that you are giving your servant into the hand of Ahab to put me to death?

10

"As the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sent to search for you; and when they said, 'He is not here,' he made the kingdom or nation swear that they could not find you.

11

"And now you are saying, 'Go, say to your master, "Behold, Elijah is here."'
