1 Kings 18:12

18:12 But when I leave you, the Lord’s spirit will carry you away so I can’t find you. ¹  If I go tell Ahab I’ve seen you, he won’t be able to find you and he will kill me. ²  That would not be fair, ³  because your servant has been a loyal follower of ⁴  the Lord from my youth.

[18:12]  ¹ tn Heb “to [a place] which I do not know.”

[18:12]  ² tn Heb “and I will go to inform Ahab and he will not find you and he will kill me.”

[18:12]  ³ tn The words “that would not be fair” are added to clarify the logic of Obadiah’s argument.

[18:12]  ⁴ tn Heb “has feared the Lord” (also see the note at 1 Kgs 18:3).
