What answer did Elijah make?
Answer
"And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou, and thy father's house, in that you have forsaken
the commandments of the Lord, and thou has followed Baalim." Verse 18.
NOTE - Israel had departed from God, forsaken His commandments, and gone off into idolatry.
Jezebel, Ahab's wicked and idolatrous wife, had "cut off the prophets of the Lord" (Verse 4), was
supporting hundreds of the prophets of Baal, and was seeking Elijah to slay him. Elijah called for a famine
on the land, and said to Ahab, "As the Lord God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be
dew nor rain these years, but according to my word." 1 Kings 17:1. Elijah's message was a call to
repentance and obedience to God's commandments.
