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; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth — Obadiah's fear is based on experience: prophets protected by God's Spirit had vanished before, appearing and disappearing supernaturally. He expresses covenant fear of the LORD as the foundation of his righteousness despite the danger.
