6And they made a division of the way between them to pass through it: Achaab went one way, and Abdiu went by another way alone.
7And Abdiu was alone in the way; and Eliu came alone to meet him: and Abdiu hasted, and fell upon his face, and said, My lord Eliu, are you indeed he?
8And Eliu said to him, I am: go say to your master, Behold, Eliu is here.
9And Abdiu said, What sin have I committed, that you give your servant into the hand of Achaab to kill me?
10As the Lord your God lives, there is not a nation or kingdom, whither my lord has not sent to seek you; and if they said, He is not here, then has he set fire to the kingdom and its territories, because he has not found you.
11And now you say, Go, tell your lord, Behold, Eliu is here.
12And it shall come to pass when I shall have departed from you, that the Spirit of the Lord shall carry you to a land which I know not, and I shall go in to tell the matter to Achaab, and he will not find you and will kill me: yet your servant fears the Lord from his youth.
13Has it not been told to you my lord, what I did when Jezabel killed the prophets of the Lord, that I hid a hundred men of the prophets of the Lord, by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water?
14And now you say to me, Go, say to your master, Behold, Eliu is here: and he shall kill me.
15And Eliu said, As the Lord of Hosts before whom I stand lives, today I will appear before him.
16And Abdiu went to meet Achaab, and told him: and Achaab hasted forth, and went to meet Eliu.
17And it came to pass when Achaab saw Eliu, that Achaab said to Eliu, Are you he that perverts Israel?
18And Eliu said, I do not pervert Israel; but it is you and your father's house, in that you° forsake the Lord your God, and you have gone after Baalim.
19And now send, gather to me all Israel to mount Carmel, and the prophets of shame four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, that eat at Jezabel's table.
20And Achaab sent to all Israel, and gathered all the prophets to mount Carmel.
21And Eliu drew near to them all: and Eliu said to them, How long will you° halt on both feet? if the Lord be God, follow him; but if Baal, follow him. And the people answered not a word.
22And Eliu said to the people, I am left, the only one prophet of the Lord; and the prophets of Baal are four hundred and fifty men, and the prophets of the groves four hundred.
23Let them give us two oxen, and let them choose one for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood, and put no fire on the wood: and I will dress the other bullock, and put on no fire.
