1 Rois 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.

1 Rois 18:12 In-Context

10 L'Éternel ton Dieu est vivant! il n'y a point de nation, ni de royaume, où mon maître n'ait envoyé pour te chercher; et comme l'on répondait: Il n'y est point, il faisait jurer le royaume et la nation, qu'on ne pouvait te trouver.
11 Et maintenant tu dis: Va, dis à ton maître: Voici Élie!
12 Et il arrivera, quand je serai parti d'avec toi, que l'Esprit de l'Éternel te transportera où je ne saurai point; et j'irai faire mon rapport à Achab; et, ne te trouvant point, il me tuera. Or ton serviteur craint l'Éternel dès sa jeunesse.
13 N'a-t-on pas dit à mon seigneur ce que je fis quand Jésabel tuait les prophètes de l'Éternel, comment j'en cachai cent, cinquante dans une caverne et cinquante dans une autre, et les y nourris de pain et d'eau?
14 Et maintenant, tu dis: Va, dis à ton maître: Voici Élie! Mais il me tuera!
