列王纪上 17:16 CUVS

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

Yet this “widow” knew JEHOVAH (1 Kings 17:12), and appealed to His High Name in verification of her words. 1 Kings 17:13. Fear not; go and do, &c.—A severe test of faith, for there was nothing between her and death except the promise of 1 Kings 17:14.

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.

It is thought that it is possible that Tishbite means that he was not really an Israelite, that he was some other... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 1 Kings 17:1-24

1 Kings 17:1 . Elijah the Tishbite. His parentage is not named, but the Jews call him a levite or a priest. He swore to Ahab in the name, not of Baal, but of Jehovah. As the Lord had promised covenant-blessings with an oath, it was just, under these circumstances, to withhold rain and dew by the most solemn asseveration. Elijah had before this travelled as a prophet, and was well known; the Spirit of God having taken him from evil: 1 Kings 18:12. There shall not be dew nor rain but... read more
