And Ahab called Obadiah, which was the governor of his house. (Now Obadiah feared the LORD greatly:
In the home of Ahab and Jezebel, and very prominent in that home, was Obadiah, the governor of his house.

He feared the LORD greatly
He said as much to Elijah in verse 12, “I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.”

Despite the risk and personal fears, he told Ahab where to meet Elijah.
