And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying [As in 1 Kings 17:1 , 1 Kings 17:8 ; 1 Kings 18:1 ], read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 21:17-24

Divine Retaliation. We have just seen Naboth martyred because of his fidelity to law; we have seen him murdered by men who in the name of law violated all the laws of God and man. Now the dispensation under which these men lived promised a present recompense, a temporal reward, to obedience, and it denounced temporal punishment against "every transgression and disobedience." We may imagine, consequently, how this tragedy would strike the men of that age. They would see in it a direct... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 21:18

Arise, go down [Bähr hence concludes that Elijah was at this time in a mountain district. But wherever he might be, this word would probably be used of journey to the plain of Esdraelon] to meet ["The word used 1 Samuel 17:48 of David going out to meet Goliath (Stanley). But the same word is used ( 1 Samuel 18:6 ) of the women going out to meet Saul, and indeed it is the usual word for all meetings. We cannot hence infer, consequently, that Elijah went forth as if to encounter a foe]... read more

And thou shalt speak unto him;. saying, Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou killed [ הֲרָצַחְתָּ , a rare and expressive word. We might render, slaughtered ] , and also [this word suggests that Jezebel's programme, which he had accepted, was fast being accomplished. But in the very hour of its completion it should be interrupted] taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the Lord [For the repetition, see on 1 Kings 20:13 , 1 Kings 20:14 ], In the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 21:20

And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me [Not merely, "Hast thou found me out? hast thou surprised me in the very act?" though this meaning is not to be excluded, but also, "Has thy vengeance overtaken me?" מָאָץ is used in this sense 1 Samuel 23:17 ; Isaiah 10:10 ; Psalms 21:9 . Ahab is so conscience stricken by the sudden apparition of Elijah, whom in all probability he had not seen or heard of since "the day of Carmel," and by his appearance on the scene at the very moment... read more

Naboth's Vineyard. The robbery and murder of Naboth form one of the darkest episodes in the story of Ahab's life. We see that idolatry and persecution were not the only crimes into which Jezebel seduced him. Indeed, such iniquities never stand alone. They would naturally be the parents of many more. He was probably guilty of many such acts of cruel wrong during his wicked career. This is related to show how completely he had "sold himself to work evil in the sight of the Lord." Let us... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Kings 21:21

Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity [Heb. exterminate after thee . See note on 1 Kings 14:10 . Ahab knew well the meaning of these words. He had before him the examples of Baasha and Zimri], and will cut off from Ahab [Heb. to Ahab ] him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel [see on 1 Kings 14:10 ]. read more

And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat [cf. 1 Kings 15:29 ], and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah [ 1 Kings 16:3 , 1 Kings 16:11 ], for —[ אֶל used in the sense of עַל , as elsewhere] the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger [ 1 Kings 14:9 ; 1 Kings 16:7 , etc.], and made Israel to sin . read more

And of Jezebel [Heb. to Jezebel . LXX . τῇ ̓ιεζάβελ .

Genesis 20:13 ; Psalms 3:3 ; 9:54 ; 2 Kings 19:32 .

Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the fields shall the fowls of the air eat. [See on 1 Kings 14:11 ; 1 Kings 16:4 . Stanley, forgetting that the phrase is almost a formula, thinks that "the large vultures which in Eastern climes are always wheeling aloft under the clear blue sky doubtless suggested the expression to the prophet." "The horizon was darkened with the visions of vultures glutting on the carcases of the dead, and the packs of... read more
