# How have I sinned ... for him to kill me?
|
|
|
|
Obadiah asks this question to emphasize the danger to himself because of King Ahab's anger at Elijah. AT: "I have not wronged you ... for him to kill me." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# give your servant into the hand of Ahab
|
|

"Hand" is metonymy for power and control. AT: "deliver your servant to Ahab" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

# your servant
|

Obadiah refers to himself as Elijah's servant in order to honor Elijah.

# there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sent men
|
|
|
|
Here "no nation or kingdom" is an exaggeration that means that men have traveled very far and gone to many places to find Elijah. This can be expressed positively. AT: "my master has sent men to nations and kingdoms near and far" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublenegatives]])
|
|
|
|
# Yet now
|
|
|

This phrase is used to emphasize the danger in what Elijah is telling Obadiah to do.
