Commentary on 1 Kings 19:8

Theological / Devotional

Unto Horeb. His journey took him through the wilderness where Israel had spent 40 years. The journey across the barren wastes was not long, but it was hard. Only about 200 mi. (328 km.) were involved, but he did not need to hurry. He was now safe from pursuit, and could take time to think things through as he made his leisurely way to the mount of God. On the same rugged hills where Moses had held communion with his Lord, there Elijah was to hold special communion with God.
