Bible Comments

Slay me — Either as one that hath deluded him with vain hopes: or, because I did not seize upon thee, and bring thee to him. But I, &c. — He speaks not these words, in a way of boasting; but that he might move the prophet to spare him, and not put him upon that hazardous action.

1 Kings 18:12

12 And it shall come to pass, as soon as I am gone from thee, that the Spirit of the LORD shall carry thee whither I know not; and so when I come and tell Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he shall slay me: but I thy servant fear the LORD from my youth.
