1 Reyes 18:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 18:7

And as Obadiah was in the way
In his district, making his observations: behold, Elijah met him:
where is not said; but he was, no doubt, upon the road from Zarephath to Samaria: and he knew him
that is, Obadiah knew Elijah, having seen him at Ahab's court before he absconded: and fell on his face, and said, art thou that my lord Elijah?
thus doing him honour and reverence both by words and gesture, as being an extraordinary prophet of the Lord.

1 Reyes 18:7 In-Context

5 Y dijo Achâb á Abdías: Ve por el país á todas las fuentes de aguas, y á todos los arroyos; que acaso hallaremos grama con que conservemos la vida á los caballos y á las acémilas, para que no nos quedemos sin bestias.
6 Y partieron entre sí el país para recorrerlo: Achâb fué de por sí por un camino, y Abdías fué separadamente por otro.
7 Y yendo Abdías por el camino, topóse con Elías; y como le conoció, postróse sobre su rostro, y dijo: ¿No eres tú mi señor Elías?
8 Y él respondió: Yo soy; ve, di á tu amo: He aquí Elías.
9 Pero él dijo: ¿En qué he pecado, para que tú entregues tu siervo en mano de Achâb para que me mate?
