"Obadiah said,“What sin have I committed that you are ready to hand your servant over to Ahab for execution?"
— 1 Kings 18:9, NET Bible
“And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?”
“And he said, Wherein have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me? ”
“He said, "Wherein have I sinned, that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me?”
“And he said: What have I sinned, that thou wouldst deliver me, thy servant, into the hand of Achab, that he should kill me?”
“And he said, What sin have I done, that you would give up your servant into the hand of Ahab, and be the cause of my death?”
“And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?”
They divided up the land between them to search it; Ahab went one way by himself and Obadiah went the other way by himself.
As Obadiah was traveling along, Elijah met him. When he recognized him, he fell facedown to the ground and said,“Is it really you, my master, Elijah?”
He replied,“Yes, go and say to your master,‘Elijah is back.’”
Obadiah said,“What sin have I committed that you are ready to hand your servant over to Ahab for execution?
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 swear an oath that they could not find you.
Now you say,‘Go and say to your master,“Elijah is back.”’
But when I leave you, the LORD’s Spirit will carry you away so I can’t find you. If I go tell Ahab I’ve seen you, he won’t be able to find you and he will kill me. That would not be fair, because your servant has been a loyal follower of the LORD from my youth.
