Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 Kings 19:21

_ _ took a yoke of oxen — Having hastily prepared (2 Samuel 24:22) a farewell entertainment to his family and friends, he left his native place and attached himself to Elijah as his minister.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 Kings 19:19-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Kings 19:21

From him — From Elijah to his parents; whom when he had seen and kissed, he returned to Elijah. The instruments — That is, with the wood belonging to the plow, &c. to which more was added, as occasion required. But that he burned, to shew his total relinquishing of his former employment. And gave — That is, he made thereof a feast for his servants who had been ploughing with him, and for him, and his other friends and neighbours who came to take their leave of him. Hereby he shewed how willingly and joyfully he forsook all his friends, that he might serve God in that high and honourable employment. It is of great advantage to young ministers, to spend some time under the direction of those that are aged and experienced; and not to think much, if occasion be, to minister unto them. Those who would be fit to teach, must have time to learn; those should first serve, who may hereafter rule.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the (k) instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.

(k) He would not stay till wood was brought, so great was his desire to follow his calling.
