Elijah meets Obadiah on the way, and Obadiah goes and tells Ahab

길에 있는 오바댜를 엘리야가 만나고 오바댜가 가서 아합에게 고함

1 Kings 18:7–16: as Obadiah is on the way, behold, Elijah meets him. He recognizes him, and falls on his face, and says, “Is it you, my lord Elijah?” He answers him, “It is I. Go, tell your lord, ‘Behold, Elijah is here!’” Obadiah says, “How have I sinned, that you would deliver your servant into the hand of Ahab, to kill me? As the LORD 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 took an oath of the kingdom and nation that they didn’t find you. Now you say, ‘Go, tell your lord, “Behold, Elijah is here.”’ It will happen, as soon as I leave you, that the LORD’s Spirit will carry you I don’t know where; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he can’t find you, he will kill me. But I, your servant, have feared the LORD from my youth. Wasn’t it told my lord what I did when Jezebel killed the LORD’s prophets, how I hid one hundred men of the LORD’s prophets with fifty to a cave, and fed them with bread and water? Now you say, ‘Go, tell your lord, “Behold, Elijah is here”.’ He will kill me.” Elijah says, “As the LORD of Armies lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today.” So Obadiah goes to meet Ahab, and tells him; and Ahab goes to meet Elijah. Neither edition names who answers at 18:8 or who speaks at 18:9 (WEB “He answered him”, “He said”). The Korean Revised Version names Ahab at 18:15 (아합에게 보이리라), where WEB reads “show myself to him”.
