1 Kings 18:19 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 18:19

17 Then it happened, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said to him, ^a“Is that you, O ^btroubler of Israel?”

18 And he answered, “I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house have, ^ain that you have forsaken the commandments of the Lord and have followed the Baals.

19 Now therefore, send and gather all Israel to me on ^aMount Carmel, the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, ^band the four hundred prophets of¹ Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.”

Elijah’s Mount Carmel Victory

20 So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and ^agathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel.

21 And Elijah came to all the people, and said, ^a“How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, ^bfollow him.” But the people answered him not a word.

22 Then Elijah said to the people, ^a“I alone am left a prophet of the Lord; ^bbut Baal’s prophets are four hundred and fifty men.
