1 Kings 18:19-22
mount Carmel Mount Carmel is situated north of Dora and south of Ptolemais or Acre, from which it is distant, according to Josephus, 120 stadia, or, according to Thevenot, 10 miles; one of its principal points advancing considerably into the Mediterranean, and forming an elevated promontory. It is described as a flattened cone, about 2,000 feet (some say 1,500) in height, very rocky, its sides steep and rugged, and the soil neither deep nor rich. Capt. Mangles says its is now quite barren, though at the north-eastern foot of it there are some pretty olive-grounds. 1Kgs 18:42-43; Josh 19:26; 1Sam 15:12; 2Kgs 2:25; Jer 46:18; Amos 1:2, Amos 9:3 the prophets of Baal 1Kgs 22:6; 2Pet 2:1; Rev 19:20 prophets of the groves 1Kgs 15:13, 1Kgs 16:33; 2Kgs 13:6; Though ashairah certainly denotes in some place a grove, yet it is equally certain, that in others, as here, it must signify an idol; and it is thought by learned men to be the same as Ashtoreth, or Astarte the Syrian Venus. eat at Jezebel's table 1Kgs 19:1-2; 2Kgs 9:22; Rev 2:20 gathered 1Kgs 22:9 How long Deut 4:35; 2Kgs 17:41; Zeph 1:5; Matt 6:24; Luke 6:13; Rom 6:16-22; 1Cor 10:21-22; 2Cor 6:14-16; Rev 3:15-16 opinions or, thoughts if the Lord 1Kgs 18:39; Exod 5:1-2; Josh 24:15, Josh 24:23-24; 1Sam 7:3; 1Chr 17:26; 2Chr 33:13; Ps 100:3 answered Gen 24:50, Gen 44:16; Job 40:4-5; Matt 22:12, Matt 22:34, Matt 22:36; Rom 3:19, Rom 6:21 I only 1Kgs 19:10, 1Kgs 19:14, 1Kgs 20:13, 1Kgs 20:32, 1Kgs 20:35, 1Kgs 20:38, 1Kgs 22:6-8; Rom 11:3 Baal's prophets 1Kgs 18:19-20; Matt 7:13-15; 2Tim 4:3-4; 2Pet 2:1-3
