1 Kings 18:12
New English Translation
12 But when I leave you, the Lord’s Spirit will carry you away so I can’t find you.[a] If I go tell Ahab I’ve seen you, he won’t be able to find you and he will kill me.[b] That would not be fair,[c] because your servant has been a loyal follower of[d] the Lord from my youth.
