1 Kings 18:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 18:2

And Elijah went to show himself unto Ahab
Which showed his cheerful and ready obedience to the will of God, and his great courage and magnanimity, to face a king enraged against him, and that sought his life:

and there was a sore famine in Samaria;
the metropolis of the kingdom, where Ahab kept his court, and therefore must be sensible of it, and bore the greater indignation against the prophet who had foretold it.

1 Kings 18:2 In-Context

1 post dies multos verbum Domini factum est ad Heliam in anno tertio dicens vade et ostende te Ahab ut dem pluviam super faciem terrae

2 ivit ergo Helias ut ostenderet se Ahab erat autem fames vehemens in Samaria

3 vocavitque Ahab Abdiam dispensatorem domus suae Abdias autem timebat Dominum valde

4 nam cum interficeret Hiezabel prophetas Domini tulit ille centum prophetas et abscondit eos quinquagenos in speluncis et pavit eos pane et aqua

5 dixit ergo Ahab ad Abdiam vade in terram ad universos fontes aquarum et in cunctas valles si forte invenire possimus herbam et salvare equos et mulos et non penitus iumenta intereant
