列王紀上 19:9 RCUVTS

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - 1 Kings 19:1-21

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

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 19:1-21

ELIJAH FLEEING FROM JEZEBEL (vs.1-10) When Ahab informed his wife Jezebel of Elijah's having brought down the fire of God to consume his sacrifice, of the slaughter of the prophets of Baal and the announcement by Elijah of the great rain, Jezebel, instead of being subdued by the evidence of God working in grace to Israel, was inflamed with bitter anger against Elijah and swore by her gods that she would kill Elijah within one day (vs.1-2). In fact, she invited her gods to kill her if she did... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 19:1-21

ELIJAH AND AHAB ELIJAH IN HIDING (1 Kings 17:1-24 ) Nothing is known of Elijah’s previous history, not even why he is called the Tishbite (1 Kings 17:1 ) except, as suggested in the Septuagint translation, that the town of Tishbeh is meant, which was in the Gilead region east of the Jordan. A comparison of Deuteronomy 11:16-17 shows that the judgment he announces (1 Kings 17:1 ) was threatened by Jehovah for such iniquity as that now prevailing; but of course the divine impulse must have... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 1 Kings 19:1-21

Elijah At Horeb 1 Kings 19:0 We have seen how Elijah treated the prophets of Baal; he laid them under arrest, brought them down to the brook Kishon and slew them there. It was the Old Testament way of expressing religious indignation. We do not read that the Lord had commanded this slaughter, nor are we informed that he approved it. Still, we may not blame Elijah, for We do not know under what inspiration he proceeded in making this onslaught. It is not so that false prophets are to be treated... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Kings 19:9

(9) ¶ And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? Some have thought that this was the very spot in which Moses was placed when the Lord showed him his glory. If so, how sweet a token of the presence of Jesus. For Jesus is all the goodness of Jehovah passing by, considered in redemption. So thought the church when she said: Oh! my dove, that art in the clefts of the rocks, in the secret... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 19:9-13

9-13 The question God put, What doest thou here, Elijah? is a reproof. It concerns us often to ask whether we are in our place, and in the way of our duty. Am I where I should be? whither God calls me, where my business lies, and where I may be useful? He complained of the people, and their obstinacy in sin; I only am left. Despair of success hinders many a good enterprise. Did Elijah come hither to meet with God? he shall find that God will meet him. The wind, and earthquake, and fire, did not... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Kings 19:9-21

Elijah Receives the Lord's Commission v. 9. And he came thither, to Horeb, unto a cave and lodged there, probably in the same cleft from which Moses saw the glory of the Lord, Exodus 33:21-Isaiah :. And, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? God wanted a frank expression of all his hopes and fears. v. 10. And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts, defending His honor with all energy; for the children of Israel... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - 1 Kings 19:1-21

C.—Elijah in the Wilderness and upon Horeb; his Successor1 Kings 19:1-211And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal1 how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 2Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods2 do to me,3 and more also, if4 I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to-morrow about this time. 3And when he saw5 that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there. 4But... read more

1 Samuel - 1 Kings ELIJAH’S WEAKNESS, AND ITS CUBE WHAT DOEST THOU HERE? 1Sa_29:3 . - 1Ki_19:9 . I have put these two verses together, not only because of their identity in form, though that is striking, but because they bear upon one and the same subject, as will appear, if, in a word or two, I set each of them in its setting. David was almost at the lowest point of his fortunes when he fled into foreign territory, and for awhile took service under one of the kings of the Philistines. He... read more
