John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Kings 18:12

Carry thee — Such transportations of the prophets having doubtless been usual before this time, as they were after it. Slay me — Either as one that hath deluded him with vain hopes: or, because I did not seize upon thee, and bring thee to him. But I, &c. — He speaks not these words, in a way of boasting; but that he might move the prophet to spare him, and not put him upon that hazardous action.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Kings 18:12

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 (d) fear the LORD from my youth.

(d) I am not of the wicked persecutors that you should procure to me such displeasure, but serve God and favour his children.
