1 Kings 18:44 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

There ariseth a little cloud like a man's hand Which presently overspread the heavens, and watered the earth. Great blessings often rise from small beginnings, and showers of plenty from a cloud of a span long: let us therefore never despise the day of small things, but hope and wait for greater things from it.

1 Kings 18:44

44 And it came to pass at the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there ariseth a little cloud out of the sea, like a man's hand. And he said, Go up, say unto Ahab, Preparej thy chariot, and get thee down, that the rain stop thee not.
