8. And he answered him, I am; go, tell adoneicha, Hinei, Eliyahu!
9. And he said, What have I sinned, that thou wouldest deliver thy eved into the yad Ach'av to slay me?
10. As Hashem Eloheicha liveth, there is no goy (nation) or mamlachah (kingdom), to where adoni hath not sent to seek thee there: and when they said, He is not there, he had the mamlachah and goy swear, that they found thee not.
11. And now thou sayest, Go, tell adoneicha, Hinei, Eliyahu!
12. And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Ruach [Hakodesh] of Hashem shall carry thee to where I know not; and so when I come and tell Ach'av, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me; but I thy eved fear Hashem from my youth.
13. Was it not told to adoni what I did when Izevel slaughtered the Nevi'im of Hashem, how I hid a hundred ish of Hashem's Nevi'im by fifty in a me'arah, and fed them with lechem and mayim?
14. And now thou sayest, Go, tell adoneicha, Hinei, Eliyahu! And he shall slay me.
15. And Eliyahu said, As Hashem Tzva'os liveth, before whom I stand, I will surely show myself unto him today.
16. So Ovadyah went to meet Ach'av, and told him; and Ach'av went to meet Eliyahu.
17. And it came to pass, when Ach'av saw Eliyahu, that Ach'av said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Yisroel?
18. And he answered, I have not troubled Yisroel; but thou, and the Bais Avicha, in that ye have forsaken the Mitzvot Hashem, and thou hast followed after the Ba'alim.
