8. And he answered him, I am; go, tell thy lord, Behold Elijah. {Heb. The Lord is God}
9. And he said, In what have I sinned that thou should deliver thy slave into the hand of Ahab, for him to slay me?
10. As the Lord thy God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek thee; and when they all said, He is not here; he has caused kingdoms and nations to swear an oath if they have found thee or not.
11. And now thou sayest, Go, tell thy lord, Behold Elijah.
12. And it shall come to pass as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the Lord shall carry thee where I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me; but I, thy slave, fear the Lord from my youth.
