John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
1 Kings 18:13
Was it not told my lord what I did when Jezebel slew
the
prophets of the Lord? how I hid one hundred men of the
Lord's prophets
by fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and
water?
] (See Gill on 1
Kings 18:4), this he said not in a way of ostentation,
but to show that it would be very ungenerous and ungrateful, as
well as impolitic, to sacrifice such a friend at court to the
Lord's prophets as he had been, and might still continue to be.
