Comments on the book of 1 Kings

< 1 Kings 19 >

Verse 4

Waiting for response for 1 Kings 19:4

His “fathers” may be a reference to not his natural fathers but the prophets that came before him. This is backed up by the group of people serving the prophets being called the “sons of the prophets”.

Verse 12

Waiting for response for 1 Kings 19:12

The still small voice is what God appears in. He doesn’t appear in the other dramatic things. Just like how Elijah had to preach with his voice. This may represent how God preaches with a calm small voice - the prophets. This may have reminded Elijah that he spoke for God, comforting him as he mourned because he felt he was unworthy due to the people of Israel still being wicked even though he had tried.
