1 Rois 18:12

Et il arrivera, quand je serai parti d'avec toi, que l'Esprit de l'Éternel te transportera où je ne saurai point; et j'irai faire mon rapport à Achab; et, ne te trouvant point, il me tuera. Or ton serviteur craint l'Éternel dès sa jeunesse.

Et il arrivera, dčs que je m'en irai d'auprčs de toi, que l'Esprit de l'Éternel te portera je ne sais oů; et je serai venu informer Achab, et il ne te trouvera pas, et il me tuera. Et ton serviteur craint l'Éternel dčs sa jeunesse.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the Lord shall carry thee whither I know not,.... This he supposed might possibly, and very probably, be the case, since small raptures might have been already, and known to Obadiah, as there were afterwards, see 2 Kings 2:16, and then he should not know where he was, nor be able to direct his master where to find him:

and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me; for telling him a lie, and deceiving and mocking him; or for not seizing on Elijah, and bringing him, when he knew he was so desirous of getting him into his hands:

but I thy servant fear the Lord from my youth; and therefore did not deserve to be treated after this manner, having been an early and conscientious worshipper of the true God.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 18:12. The Spirit of the Lord shall carry thee — Obadiah supposed that the Spirit of the Lord had carried him to some strange country during the three years and a half of the drought; and as he had reason to think that Ahab would slay Elijah if he found him, and that the God of the prophet would not suffer his servant to fall into such murderous hands, he took for granted that as soon as he should come into danger, so soon would the Spirit of the Lord carry him away, or direct him to some hiding place.
