1 Reyes 18:29 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 18:29

And it came to pass when midday was past
And nothing done, no fire descended:

and they prophesied until the time of the offering of the evening
sacrifice;
continued praying to Baal, and singing his praises, but all to no purpose; or they behaved like madmen, as the Targum; thus they went on until it was time to offer the evening sacrifice; so that they had no interruption in their service, and had all the time they could desire to have to importune their god to do the favour for them they requested:

that there was neither voice, nor any to answer, nor any that regarded;
no voice was heard that returned them any answer; nor was any answer made by fire, nor any regard shown to their mad gestures, and barbarous actions; and very likely the people also, by this time, paid no regard unto them, perceiving they were not able, by all their cries and methods they took, to obtain an answer.

1 Reyes 18:29 In-Context

27 Y sucedió que ya al mediodía, Elías se burlaba de ellos y decía: Clamad en voz alta, pues es un dios; tal vez estará meditando o se habrá desviado, o estará de viaje, quizá esté dormido y habrá que despertarlo.
28 Y gritaban a grandes voces y se sajaban, según su costumbre, con espadas y lanzas hasta que la sangre chorreaba sobre ellos.
29 Y sucedió que pasado el mediodía, se pusieron a gritar frenéticamente hasta la hora de ofrecerse el sacrificio de la tarde; pero no hubo voz, ni nadie respondió ni nadie hizo caso.
30 Entonces Elías dijo a todo el pueblo: Acercaos a mí. Y todo el pueblo se acercó a él. Y reparó el altar del SEÑOR que había sido derribado.
31 Elías tomó doce piedras conforme al número de las tribus de los hijos de Jacob, a quien había venido la palabra del SEÑOR, diciendo: Israel será tu nombre.
