1 Reis 18:18 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 18:18

And he answered
That is, Elijah, with great boldness and undaunted courage, not fearing the face of the king, being sent to show himself to him in the name of the King of kings:

I have not troubled Israel, but thou and thy father's house;
they, by their sins, were the cause of all the troubles, those sore evil and sad calamities that were upon them:

in that ye have forsaken the commandments of the Lord:
to have no other gods before him, and not to make images, and worship them, which they had done:

and thou hast followed Baalim;
the several Baals, the Sun, moon, and stars, the whole host of heaven, worshipped under this name; or, not content with the Phoenician Baal, or Baal of the Zidonians, followed others, see ( Judges 2:11 ) .

1 Reis 18:18 In-Context

16 Então Obadias dirigiu-se a Acabe, passou-lhe a informação, e Acabe foi ao encontro de Elias.
17 Quando viu Elias, disse-lhe: “É você mesmo, perturbador de Israel?”
18 “Não tenho perturbado Israel”, Elias respondeu. “Mas você e a família do seu pai têm. Vocês abandonaram os mandamentos do SENHOR e seguiram os baalins.
19 Agora convoque todo o povo de Israel para encontrar-se comigo no monte Carmelo. E traga os quatrocentos e cinquenta profetas de Baal e os quatrocentos profetas de Aserá, que comem à mesa de Jezabel”.
20 Acabe convocou então todo o Israel e reuniu os profetas no monte Carmelo.
