Melachim Alef 18:12

12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Ruach [Hakodesh] of Hashem shall carry thee to where I know not; and so when I come and tell Ach’av, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me; but I thy eved fear Hashem from my youth.

Melachim Alef 18:12 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 18:12

And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee,
that the Spirit of the Lord shall carry thee whither I know not
This he supposed might possibly, and very probably, be the case, since small raptures might have been already, and known to Obadiah, as there were afterwards, see ( 2 Kings 2:16 ) ( Ezekiel 3:12 Ezekiel 3:14 ) ( Acts 8:39 ) , and then he should not know where he was, nor be able to direct his master where to find him: and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall
slay me;
for telling him a lie, and deceiving and mocking him; or for not seizing on Elijah, and bringing him, when he knew he was so desirous of getting him into his hands: but I thy servant fear the Lord from my youth;
and therefore did not deserve to be treated after this manner, having been an early and conscientious worshipper of the true God.

Melachim Alef 18:12 In-Context

10 As Hashem Eloheicha liveth, there is no goy (nation) or mamlachah (kingdom), to where adoni hath not sent to seek thee there: and when they said, He is not there, he had the mamlachah and goy swear, that they found thee not.

11 And now thou sayest, Go, tell adoneicha, Hinei, Eliyahu!

12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Ruach [Hakodesh] of Hashem shall carry thee to where I know not; and so when I come and tell Ach’av, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me; but I thy eved fear Hashem from my youth.

13 Was it not told to adoni what I did when Izevel slaughtered the Nevi’im of Hashem, how I hid a hundred ish of Hashem’s Nevi’im by fifty in a me’arah, and fed them with lechem and mayim?

14 And now thou sayest, Go, tell adoneicha, Hinei, Eliyahu! And he shall slay me.
