In context

⁷Now as Obadiah went on his way, Elijah suddenly met him. When Obadiah recognized him, he fell facedown and said, “Is it you, my lord Elijah?”

⁸“It is I,” he answered. “Go tell your master, ‘Elijah is here!’”

⁹But Obadiah replied, “How have I sinned, that you are handing your servant over to Ahab to put me to death?

¹⁰As surely as the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent someone to search for you. When they said, ‘He is not here,’ he made that kingdom or nation swear that they had not found you.

¹¹And now you say, ‘Go tell your master that Elijah is here!’
