Old Testament

New Testament

1 Kings 18:12-18 Modern English Version (MEV)

12. As soon as I am gone from you, the Spirit of the Lord will carry you to a place I do not know, and so when I come and tell Ahab and he cannot find you, he will execute me. But I, your servant, have feared the Lord since my youth.

13. Were you not told what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the Lord, how I hid a hundred men of the Lord’s prophets in groups of fifty in a cave and fed them with bread and water?

14. And now you say, ‘Go, tell your lord, “Elijah is here,” ’ and he will execute me.”

15. Elijah said, “As the Lord of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself to him today.”

16. So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him. And Ahab went to meet Elijah.

17. When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, “Are you he that troubles Israel?”

18. And he answered, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house, in that you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord and you have followed the Baals.
