1 Kings 18:17 -
And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him Art thou he [Rather, here : same words as in 1 Kings 18:7 . "Do I at last see thee again? Hast thou ventured into my presence?"] that troubleth Israel? [Heb. thou troubler of Israel . For the word ( עָכַר ) see Genesis 24:30 ; Joshua 6:18 ; Joshua 7:25 ; Proverbs 11:17 ; 1 Samuel 14:29 . When Rawlinson says that this charge of troubling Israel has "never been before brought against any one but Achan," he apparently forgets the passage last cited. "My father hath troubled the land." Wordsworth paraphrases, "Art thou the Achan of Israel?" but it is very doubtful whether this thought was in Ahab's mind.]
