“And Obadiah was on the way” [18:7]. Obadiah was on the way when Elijah the Prophet met him. Obadiah bowed to him and asked him, are you Elijah? Elijah said to him, I am Elijah. Go and say to Ahab that Elijah is here. Obadiah was very frightened and he said: what sins have I committed that you hand me over to be killed by Ahab?
