'** Snatch thee away from hence;' as sometimes the
prophets were suddenly transported by an invisible power to
places far distant from that where they were at present
(2 Kings ii. 16, Ezek. iii. 12, 14, Acts viii. 89, 40). And in
all likelihood there had been instances of it before this time,
which made Obadiah fear it might fall out so in this case.
