Commentaire sur Rois 1 18:9
וַיֹּ֖אמֶר מֶ֣ה חָטָ֑אתִי כִּֽי־אַתָּ֞ה נֹתֵ֧ן אֶֽת־עַבְדְּךָ֛ בְּיַד־אַחְאָ֖ב לַהֲמִיתֵֽנִי׃
Obadia repartit: "Quel mal ai-je fait, pour que tu exposes ton serviteur à être mis à mort par Achab?
Rashi on I Kings
To kill me. As it [continues and] explains and states, “a wind from Adonoy will carry you away to where I do not know.”1The Gemara in Maseches Sanhedrin 39b states that he followed the same strategy used by Yaakov to protect his family from Eisav. Yaakov divided his household into two groups so that some would survive if Eisav were to attack. Alternatively, each cave could accommodate only 50 people.
