1 Koningen 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 ) .

16 Toen ging Obadja Achab tegemoet, en zeide het hem aan; en Achab ging Elia tegemoet.
17 En het geschiedde, als Achab Elia zag, dat Achab tot hem zeide: Zijt gij die beroerden van Israel?
18 Toen zeide hij: Ik heb Israel niet beroerd, maar gij en uws vaders huis, daarmede, dat gijlieden de geboden des HEEREN verlaten hebt en de Baals nagevolgd zijt.
19 Nu dan, zend heen, verzamel tot mij het ganse Israel op den berg Karmel, en de vierhonderd en vijftig profeten van Baal, en de vierhonderd profeten van het bos, die van de tafel van Izebel eten.
20 Zo zond Achab onder alle kinderen Israels, en verzamelde de profeten op den berg Karmel.
