OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_said ʼAḩʼāⱱ to ʼĒliyyāh the_found_me enemy_my and_he/it_said I_have_found_[you] because sold_you for_doing the_evil in/on_both_eyes_of of_YHWH.
OET (OET-RV) When Eliyyah arrived, Ahav asked him, “Ah, my enemy. Have you found me?”
¶ “Yes, I’ve found you,” Eliyyah replied. “It seems you’ve sold your soul by doing what Yahweh’s finds to be evil.

Have you found me, my enemy?
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said ʼAḩʼāⱱ to/towards ʼĒliyyāh the,found,me enemy,my and=he/it_said found because sold,you for=doing the,evil in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH )
Ahab uses this question to express anger toward Elijah. That Elijah “found” Ahab likely refers to Elijah discovering Ahab’s actions, not to finding his physical location. Alternate translation: “You have found me, my enemy!” or “You have discovered what I have done, my enemy!” (See also: figs-explicit)
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
you have sold yourself to do what is evil
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said ʼAḩʼāⱱ to/towards ʼĒliyyāh the,found,me enemy,my and=he/it_said found because sold,you for=doing the,evil in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH )
A person being committed to doing what is evil is spoken of as if that person had sold himself to evil. Alternate translation: “you have dedicated yourself to doing what is evil”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
what is evil in the sight of Yahweh
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_said ʼAḩʼāⱱ to/towards ʼĒliyyāh the,found,me enemy,my and=he/it_said found because sold,you for=doing the,evil in/on=both_eyes_of YHWH )
The phrase, “in the sight of” refers to someone’s opinion. See how you translated this in 1 Kings 11:6. Alternate translation: “what Yahweh considers to be evil”
21:17-22 Elijah delivered the Lord’s sentence against Ahab just as he was about to take possession of the vineyard. Because Ahab was responsible for the death of Naboth and the seizing of his field, Ahab and his family would be destroyed. The prophecy concerning Ahab’s children would be fulfilled in Jehu’s purging of Baal worshipers from Israel (2 Kgs 9:30-37; 10:1-11).
