## 1 Kings 18:9-14 in Context (Verses 6–17 KJV)
 
 [6 ](/kjv/1-kings/18/6) So they divided the land between them to pass throughout it: Ahab went one way by himself, and Obadiah went another way by himself.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/1-kings/18/7) ¶ And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Elijah met him: and he knew him, and fell on his face, and said, *Art* thou that my lord Elijah?
 
 [8 ](/kjv/1-kings/18/8) And he answered him, I *am:* go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah *is here*.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/1-kings/18/9) And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of Ahab, to slay me?
 
 [10 ](/kjv/1-kings/18/10) *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 ](/kjv/1-kings/18/11) And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah *is here*.
 
 [12 ](/kjv/1-kings/18/12) 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.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/1-kings/18/13) 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?
 
 [14 ](/kjv/1-kings/18/14) And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, Elijah *is here:* and he shall slay me.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/1-kings/18/15) And Elijah said, *As* the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely shew myself unto him to day.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/1-kings/18/16) So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him: and Ahab went to meet Elijah.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/1-kings/18/17) ¶ And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, *Art* thou he that troubleth Israel?
