Contextual Overview

1 After many days, the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, "Go show yourself to Ahab. And I will send rain upon the earth." 2 So Elijah went to show himself to Ahab. Now the time without food was very hard in Samaria. 3 And Ahab called Obadiah who was the boss over his house. (Now Obadiah had much fear of the Lord. 4 For when Jezebel destroyed the men who spoke for the Lord, Obadiah took 100 of these men and hid them by fifties in a cave. And he fed them with bread and water.) 5 Then Ahab said to Obadiah, "Go through the land to all the wells of water and to all the valleys. It may be that we will find grass and keep the horses and donkeys alive, and not lose some of the animals. 6 So they divided the land between them to pass through it. Ahab went one way by himself. And Obadiah went another way by himself. 7 As Obadiah was on the way, Elijah met him. Obadiah knew who he was, and fell on his face and said, "Is it you, my lord Elijah?" 8 He answered, "It is I. Go and tell your owner, ‘See, Elijah is here.'" 9 Obadiah said, "What sin have I done? Why are you giving your servant into the hand of Ahab to be killed? 10 As the Lord your God lives, there is no nation where the king has not sent men to look for you. And when they said, ‘He is not here,' he made the nation prove that they could not find you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And now thou sayest, go tell thy lord, behold, Elijah is here. Which, if I should not be able to make good, would be of fatal consequence to me; and that it is plain he feared, by what he next says.
