F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Kings 17:17-24

New Life for the Dead 1 Kings 17:17-24 It must have been a severe trial to Elijah’s faith, first to note the gradual diminishing of the brook; then the abject poverty of the woman to whom he was directed; and finally the illness and death of her child. But through it all, he held fast to the living God. It was still, “O Lord my God,” 1 Kings 17:20 . Affliction is no proof that we are off the path of duty. The way of obedience is sometimes paved with flints, as every servant of God has... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 17:1-24

Here began a new order, the prophetic. Of course there had been prophets before, but with the coming of Elijah the office was elevated to national importance. From this point onwards, in the economy of the divine government, the prophet is superior to the king. Presently we shall find kings whose hearts were set upon reform, but even their work will be due to the inspiration of some prophet of God through whom His will is made known to men. The sudden appearance of Elijah was startling and... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Kings 17:1-24

Jehovah-Jireh Selections from 1 Kings 17:1-24 INTRODUCTORY WORDS Our God is the God who is enough. There is no good thing which He withholds from them who walk uprightly. Our God is able to make all grace abound unto us, so that we, having all sufficiency in all things, may abound unto every good word and work. Let us spend a few moments in observing some particular places in which our God supplies our need. 1. God meets our physical needs. Before ever God created man, He created the beasts... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 17:1-24

The Reign Of Ahab King Of Israel c. 872-851 BC (1 Kings 16:29 to 1 Kings 22:40 ). The reigns of the previous seven kings of Judah and Israel have been covered in a short space (1 Kings 15:1 to 1 Kings 16:28). The reign of Ahab will now take up almost the whole of the remainder of 1 Kings (from 1 Kings 16:29 to 1 Kings 22:40). This, however, was not due to the importance of Ahab politically, but occurs because he was in continual conflict with the prophets of YHWH. It was these conflicts... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 17:17-24

Elijah Raises The Widow’s Son To Life (1 Kings 17:17-24 ). In this final miracle God reveals His power of life and death. Sadly many people would have been dying in the area at the time because of the famine, and, when many are dying, death becomes almost accepted as inevitable. The incident brings out that in the midst of those scenes of death YHWH demonstrated that He was present as the Lord of life on behalf of those who looked to His prophets. The lesson is clear. Had they but trusted in... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 17:1-24

1 Kings 17:1-Jeremiah : . Elijah is Fed by Ravens, and Raises the Widow’ s Son.— Elijah appeared suddenly: we hear nothing of his birth or parentage. He simply announced to Ahab, in the name of Yahweh, “ before whom I stand” ( cf. Jeremiah 35:19), that there should be no rain for three years. Elijah is described as “ one of the sojourners of Gilead.” Probably the LXX is correct in saying that he came from Tishbe ( mg.) , said to be in Gilead to distinguish it from another Tishbe in Galilee (... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 1 Kings 17:17-24

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—1 Kings 17:17. Fell sick … no breath left in him—This phrase does not absolutely imply death (comp. Daniel 10:17; also 1 Kings 10:17). Josephus renders the incident thus—ὡς καὶ τὴν ψυχὴν . We may concede that the boy was in a state of fatal exhaustion, sinking away into death, and not absolutely dead. But whichever was the case, his recovery was as really supernatural and miraculous. 1 Kings 17:18. What have I to do with thee?—The bitter upbraiding of incoherent... read more

And Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him unto his mother: and Elijah said, See, thy son liveth.THOUGH God was pleased to separate for himself a peculiar people, to whom alone he communicated the knowledge of his will, he gave frequent intimations to them, that his mercy... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Kings 17:1-24

By Chuck SmithLet's turn to the First Kings, chapter seventeen.The seventeenth chapter of First Kings introduces us now to a very interesting character, Elijah the Tishbite, whatever Tishbite means. Now Elijah came from the area of Gilead, which you'd call today TransJordan if you were in Israel; it was across Jordan in the area of Gad. And so he came from the area of Gilead. It is thought that it is possible that Tishbite means that he was not really an Israelite, that he was some other... read more
