Commentaries on 1 Kings 18:36
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 36Lord God of Abraham - He thus addressed the Supreme Being, that they might know when the answer was given, that it was the same God whom the patriarchs and their fathers worshipped, and thus have their hearts turned back again to the true religion of their ancestors.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 36At the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice - i. e., probably “the ninth hour,” or three o‘clock. Thus there might still remain about five hours of light, during which the other events of the day were accomplished.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 21-4021-40. Elijah said unto all the people, How long halt ye?--They had long been attempting to conjoin the service of God with that of Baal. It was an impracticable union and the people were so struck with a sense of their own folly, or dread of the king's displeasure, that they "answered not a word." Elijah proposed to decide for them the controversy between God and Baal by an appeal, not to the authority of the law, for that would have no weight, but by a…Read the comment
