Bible Comments

1 KINGS CHAPTER 19 Elijah, threatened by Jezebel, fleeth to Beer-sheba; is comforted by an angel, 1 Kings 19:1-8. At Mount Horeb, complaining to God, he is strengthened by a special revelation, 1 Kings 19:9-14; is sent to anoint Hazael, Jehu, and Elisha, 1 Kings 19:15-18. Elisha followeth Elijah, 1 Kings 19:19-21. Ahab told Jezebel this for his vindication, and her satisfaction. All the prophets, to wit, of Baal; not of the groves, who were not present, as may be gathered from 1 Kings 18:19,22 1 Kings 22:6.
