1 Reyes 18:37 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 18:37

Hear me, O Lord, hear me;
&c.] Which repetition is made to express his importunity, and the vehement earnest desire of his soul to be heard in such a case, which so much concerned the glory of God; the Targum is,

``receive my prayer, O Lord, concerning the fire, receive my prayer concerning the rain;''

as if the one respected the sending down the fire on the sacrifice, and the other sending rain on the earth; and which sense is followed by other Jewish writers:

that this people may know that thou art the Lord God;
and not Baal, or any other idol:

and that thou hast turned their heart back again;
from idolatry, to the worship of the true God; though some understand this of God's giving them up to a spirit of error, and suffering them to fall into idolatry, and hardening their hearts, as he did Pharaoh's; but the former sense is best.

1 Reyes 18:37 In-Context

35 De tal manera que las aguas corr铆an alrededor del altar; y tambi茅n hab铆a llenado de agua la zanja.
36 Y cuando lleg贸 la hora de ofrecerse el holocausto de la tarde, se acerc贸 el profeta El铆as, y dijo: SE脩OR Dios de Abraham, de Isaac, y de Israel, sea hoy manifiesto que t煤 eres Dios en Israel, y que yo soy tu siervo, y que por mandato tuyo he hecho todas estas cosas.
37 Resp贸ndeme, SE脩OR, resp贸ndeme; para que conozca este pueblo que t煤, oh SE脩OR, eres el Dios, y que t煤 convertir谩s de nuevo el coraz贸n de ellos a ti .
38 Entonces cay贸 fuego del SE脩OR, el cual consumi贸 el holocausto, y la le帽a, y las piedras, y el polvo, y aun lami贸 las aguas que estaban en la zanja.
39 Y vi茅ndolo, todo el pueblo, cayeron sobre sus rostros, y dijeron: 隆El SE脩OR es el Dios! 隆El SE脩OR es el Dios!
