Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Kings 19:10

And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.I have been, … — I have executed my office with zeal for God's honour, and with the hazard of my own life, and am fled hither, not being able to endure to see the dishonour done to thy name by their obstinate idolatry and wickedness.I only — Of... read more

And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?He wrapped, … — Through dread of God's presence, being sensibly that he was neither worthy nor able to endure the sight of God with open face.And stood, … — Which God commanded him to do; and as he was going towards the mouth of the cave, he was affrighted and stopped in his course,... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Kings 19:16

And Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint to be king over Israel: and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abelmeholah shalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy room.The son, … — That is, his grand-son, for he was the son of Jehosaphat, 2 Kings 9:2.

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Kings 19:17

And it shall come to pass, that him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.Shall Elisha slay — One or other of these should infallibly execute God's judgments upon the apostate Israelites. Elisha is said to slay them, either, because he slew those forty two children, 2 Kings 2:24, besides others whom upon like occasions he might destroy; or, because he by God's appointment inflicted the famine, 2 Kings 8:1, or rather,... read more

Wesley's Explanatory Notes - 1 Kings 19:18

Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him.I have left — Or, I have reserved to myself; I have kept from the common contagion: therefore thou art mistaken to think that thou art left alone.Seven thousand — Either, definitely so many: or rather, indefinitely, for many thousands; the number of seven being often used for a great number.Kissed him — That is, all those who have not worshipped Baal, nor... read more

ELIJAH’S FLIGHT TO HOREB, 1 Kings 19:1-18. 1. Ahab told Jezebel The king was probably drawn towards Elijah in sympathy, and believed him to be a holy man of God. The mighty works of Divine power at Carmel, which his own eyes had witnessed, had convinced him that Jehovah was God, and Baal was no god worthy of respect.
