New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 Kings 18
10 As the Lord your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sent to search for you; and when they said, ’He is not here,’ he made the kingdom or nation swear that they could not find you.
11 And now you are saying, ’Go, say to your master, "Behold, Elijah is here."’
12 It will come about when I leave you that the Spirit of the Lord will carry you where I do not know; so when I come and tell Ahab and he cannot find you, he will kill me, although I your servant have feared the Lord from my youth.
13 Has it not been told to my master what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the Lord, that I hid a hundred prophets of the Lord by fifties in a cave, and provided them with bread and water?
14 And now you are saying, ’Go, say to your master, "Behold, Elijah is here"’; he will then kill 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, "Is this you, you troubler of Israel?"
18 He said, "I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house have, because you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord and you have followed the Baals.
19 Now then send and gather to me all Israel at Mount Carmel, together with 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of the Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table."
20 So Ahab sent a message among all the sons of Israel and brought the prophets together at Mount Carmel.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
