Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 1 Kings 19:5-8

(5) And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat. (6) And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baken on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again. (7) And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for thee. (8) And he arose, and did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 19:1-8

1-8 Jezebel sent Elijah a threatening message. Carnal hearts are hardened and enraged against God, by that which should convince and conquer them. Great faith is not always alike strong. He might be serviceable to Israel at this time, and had all reason to depend upon God's protection, while doing God's work; yet he flees. His was not the deliberate desire of grace, as Paul's, to depart and be with Christ. God thus left Elijah to himself, to show that when he was bold and strong, it was in the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 1 Kings 19:1-8

Elijah Flees before Jezebel v. 1. And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. He was bound to give her a report of all that had transpired, and his heart undoubtedly had to sanction the execution which had taken place. v. 2. Then Jezebel, lashed to fury by this turn of events, sent a messenger unto Eujah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this... read more

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

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - 1 Kings 19:1-8

1 Kings ELIJAH’S WEAKNESS, AND ITS CUBE 1Ki_19:1 - 1Ki_19:18 . The miracle on Carmel cowed, if it did not convince, Ahab, so that he did not oppose the slaughter of the Baal prophets; but Jezebel was made of sterner stuff, and her passionate idolatry was proof against even a sign from heaven. Obstinacy in error is often a rebuke to tremulous faith in God. She fiercely puts her back to the wall, and defies Elijah and his God. Her threat to the prophet has a certain audacity of frankness... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 1 Kings 19:1-8

Exaltation and Depression 1 Kings 18:41-46 ; 1 Kings 19:1-8 When the priests had been executed, the quick ear of the prophet detected the hurrying rain-clouds. Note the contrast between Ahab and the prophet. The one ascended from the Kishon gorge to eat and drink in his pavilion until the darkened heavens made him drive-post-haste to Jezreel; the other went up to pray! which do we care for most-to eat and drink or to pray? God help us! The answer that our hearts utter is far from... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 1 Kings 19:1-21

The slaughter of the prophets of Baal aroused the ire of Jezebel to such a degree that she sent a direct message full of fury to Elijah. There is no escaping the sadness of his attitude on receiving this threat. The man who had stood erect in the presence of tremendous odds now fled for his life. Full of great beauty is the story of God's method with His overwrought and fearful servant. He first ministered to Elijah's physical need, and then patiently listened to the complaint of his troubled... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - 1 Kings 19:1-21

Elijah Fleeing for His Life 1 Kings 19:1-21 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. The story of the slaughter of the prophets of Baal. The people fell on their faces as soon as they saw that God consumed the sacrifice of Elijah with fire, and they cried: "The Lord, He is the God. The Lord, He is the God." Immediately Elijah took steps to destroy the prophets of the sun-god. We read that he brought them down to the brook, Kishon, and he slew them there. God's judgments always follow those who deny Him. Every... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Kings 19:1-18

Depressed At What Appeared To Be Failure Elijah Flees To The Mountain Of God In Horeb (Sinai) And Is Sustained And Recommissioned By YHWH (1 Kings 19:1-18 ). Exultant because the battle appeared almost won, and, with King Ahab surely now convinced, Elijah probably felt safe back in Jezreel, but he was to be devastated the next day to receive a message from Jezebel that she intended to have him executed. While Israel as a people had recognised YHWH again, the establishment were still totally... read more
