11:018:008 And he answered him, I am: go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah
is here.
11:018:009 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver
thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
11:018:010 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.
11:018:011 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is
here.
11:018:012 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.
11:018:013 Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew the
prophets of the LORD, how I hid an hundred men of the LORD's
prophets by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and
water?
11:018:014 And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah is
here: and he shall slay me.
11:018:015 And Elijah said, As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I
stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day.
11:018:016 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to
meet Elijah.
11:018:017 And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto
him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?
11:018:018 And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy
father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of
the LORD, and thou hast followed Baalim.
11:018:019 Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount
Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and
the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at
Jezebel's table.
11:018:020 So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the
prophets together unto mount Carmel.
11:018:021 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt
ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but
if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a
word.
11:018:022 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a
prophet of the LORD; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and
fifty men.
11:018:023 Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose
one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it
on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other
bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under:
