Commentary on 1 Kings 18:17

Theological / Devotional

That troubleth Israel. Israel had been sorely troubled, and in his inmost soul Ahab understood the reason why. But guilt always tries to shirk the responsibility for the evil it brings. Ahab sought to place the blame upon Elijah for the curse that had smitten the land. One of the greatest evils of sin is that it always seeks to confuse the issue. It refuses to bear the blame for the troubles it causes, and tries even to make it appear that righteousness rather than iniquity is responsible for man’s woe.
