Barnes' Notes
Ahab could feast; Elijah could not, or would not. Ascending Carmel not quite to the highest elevation I Kings 18:43, but to a point, a little below the highest, from where the sea was not visible, he proceeded to pray earnestly for rain, as he had prayed formerly that it might not rain.
