1 Kings 19:10. And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord of hosts I have not been wholly wanting to my vocation; but have executed my office with zeal for thy honour and service, and with the hazard of my life; and am fled hither, not being able to endure to see the dishonour done to thy name by their obstinate idolatry and wickedness. They have thrown down thine altars Not only deserted them, and suffered them to go to decay, but, in their zeal for the worship of Baal, have... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 19:1-21

God reassures Elijah (19:1-21)When Jezebel heard that Elijah had killed her prophets, she threatened to do the same to him. She still had great power over the people, who, despite Elijah’s victory at Mt Carmel, soon returned to their idolatrous ways (19:1-2; cf. v. 10). Elijah fled south through the barren regions of Judah where, overcome with despair, he wanted only to die. But God sustained him, enabling him to keep moving south till he reached Mt Sinai, the place where God had made his... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Kings 19:9-14

1 Kings 19:9-14. He came thither unto a cave, &c.— Elijah being now come to the same place where God had delivered the law to his servant Moses, God was inclined to communicate the like favour to his prophet; namely, to unveil his glory to him, and to give him some signal of his actual presence. Various are the speculations which this appearance of the Deity has suggested to interpreters. The greater part have considered it as a figure of the Gospel dispensation, which came not in such a... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 1 Kings 19:9-21

God’s revelation of His methods 19:9-21Elijah’s zeal for God’s covenant, altars, and prophets was admirable, but he became too discouraged because he underestimated the extent of commitment to Yahweh that existed in Israel. [Note: Ronald B. Allen, "Elijah the Broken Prophet," Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society 22:3 (1979):202.] He was not alone in his stand for Yahweh (1 Kings 19:10; cf. 1 Kings 18:13). God asked him what he was doing there (1 Kings 19:9; 1 Kings 19:13) because He... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 19:1-21

Elijah at Horeb2. Then Jezebel sent, etc.] Her religious feelings as a votary of Baal and her dignity as the queen had both been outraged by the prophet, and she at once sought revenge.3. And when he saw that, etc.] In men of impetuous disposition displays of fiery courage often alternate with moods of despondency. Elijah’s character resembled that of St. Peter, who first struck a blow in defence of his Master and then denied Him (John 18:10, John 18:15).Beer-sheba] within the territory of the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 1 Kings 19:10

(10) And he said.—The reply to the implied reproof is one of impatient self-exculpation and even remonstrance. He himself (it says) had been very jealous for the Lord; yet the Lord had not been jealous for Himself, suffering this open rebellion of the people, the slaughter of His prophets, the persecution to death of the one solitary champion left. What use is there in further striving, if he is left unsupported and alone? The complaint is like that of Isaiah (Isaiah 64:1), “O that thou... read more

The Holy Eucharist 1 Kings 19:4-8 God has given us the blessed Sacrament to be to us the Sacrament in which He will give to us continually the grace of perseverance. I. The Sacrament of Perseverance.

THE THEOPHANY AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE1 Kings 19:9-15"Who heardest the rebuke of the Lord in Sinai, and in Horeb the judgment of vengeance."- Sirach 48:7.THROUGHOUT the Scriptures infinite care is taken to preclude every notion that the Most High God can be represented in visible form. He manifested Himself at Sinai to the children of Israel, but though the mount burned with fire, and there were clouds and thick darkness, and the voice of a. trumpet speaking long and loud, the people were reminded... read more

3. Elijah in the Wilderness and upon Mount Horeb CHAPTER 19 1. Elijah’s flight and despondency (1 Kings 19:1-8 ) 2. Upon Mount Horeb (1 Kings 19:9-18 ) 3. Elisha called (1 Kings 19:10-21 ) Elijah perhaps stopped at the very door of the palace where wicked Jezebel dwelt. He would remain with Ahab to the very last before he went in to face the queen. Should not Elijah have remained and gone even before Jezebel to bear his testimony? Instead he becomes terrified of wicked Jezebel. Had he... read more
