1 Kings 18:46
_ _ Elijah ... girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab — It was anciently, and still is in some countries of the East, customary for kings and nobles to have runners before their chariots, who are tightly girt for the purpose. The prophet, like the Bedouins of his native Gilead, had been trained to run; and, as the Lord was with him, he continued with unabated agility and strength. It was, in the circumstances, a most proper service for Elijah to render. It tended to strengthen the favorable impression made on the heart of Ahab and furnished an answer to the cavils of Jezebel for it showed that he who was so zealous in the service of God, was, at the same time, devotedly loyal to his king. The result of this solemn and decisive contest was a heavy blow and great discouragement to the cause of idolatry. But subsequent events seem to prove that the impressions, though deep, were but partial and temporary. |
1 Kings 18:46
The hand, &c. — God gave him more than natural strength, whereby he was enabled to outrun Ahab's chariot, for so many miles together. He girded, &c. — That his garments, which were long, might not hinder him. Ran before Ahab — To shew how ready he was to honour and serve the king, that by this humble and self — denying carriage, it might appear, what he had done was not from envy or passion, but only from a just zeal for God's glory: that by his presence with the king and his courtiers, he might animate and oblige them to proceed in the reformation of religion: and, to demonstrate, that he was neither ashamed of, nor afraid for what he had done, but durst venture himself in the midst of his enemies. |
1 Kings 18:46
And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran (q) before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
(q) He was so strengthened by God's spirit that he ran faster than the chariot was able to run. |
