John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 18:22

1Ki 18:22 Then said Elijah unto the people, I, [even] I only, remain a prophet of the LORD; but Baal’s prophets [are] four hundred and fifty men. Ver. 22. I, even I, only remain. ] So Paphnutius in the Nicene Council carried it for the truth. So before him, did Nicodemus, John 7:51 ; Joh 7:53 as after, Athanasius and Luther, qui totius orbis impetum soli sustinuerunt. God is the more seen in such cases. read more

And cut it in pieces, and lay it on the wood. ] After the manner of sacrifices. And thus should Abraham have done by Isaac, if he had not been hindered from heaven: a very great trial. read more

Ver. 24. And the God that answereth by fire. ] He would have the controversy thus decided rather by a miracle than by the Scriptures because he had to do with those that were no better than infidels and miscreants. read more

Ver. 25. Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first. ] All privileges and advantages are granted them, lest it should be pretended that their god was sullen, and therefore silent. read more

1Ki 18:26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed [it], and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But [there was] no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made. Ver. 26. And they leaped upon the altar. ] Or, Leaped up and down at the altar, as if they had been in some prophetical ecstasy, or would have fetched fire from heaven.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Kings 18:27

1Ki 18:27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he [is] a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, [or] peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked. Ver. 27. That Elijah mocked them. ] All mocking therefore is not unlawful: not that which tendeth to the discountenancing of sin; but that which is to the unjust disgrace and just grief of another. Or he is pursuing. ] Heb., He hath a pursuit, viz., hostium vel ferarum: either... read more

Till the blood gushed out upon them. ] This they did by the instigation of that old manslayer, who delighteth in sucking man’s blood, the blood of souls especially. He it... read more

1Ki 18:29 And it came to pass, when midday was past, and they prophesied until the [time] of the offering of the [evening] sacrifice, that [there was] neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded.

Nor any to answer, nor any that regarded. ] Jupiter Cretensis was pictured without ears, as well he might, for he had no use of them. But our God scorneth that any should seek to him in... read more
