1 Kings 18:39 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces: and they said, The LORD, he is the God; the LORD, he is the God. Fell on their faces - Struck with awe and reverence at the sight of this incontestable miracle.

And they said - We should translate the words thus: Jehovah, He is the God! Jehovah, He is the God! Baal is not the God; Jehovah alone is the God of Israel.

As our term Lord is very equivocal, we should every where insert the original word יהוה, which we should write Yeve or Yeheveh, or Yahvah or Yehueh, or, according to the points, Yehovah.
