David Guzik commentary on 1 Kings 18, where Elijah made his dramatic confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel.
Ahab tried to serve both Baal and Yahweh. His dual allegiances made him spiritually blind to his sins. From Ahab’s mistake, God warns that dual allegiances can make evil hard to see in yourself and in society. Fourth, Elijah proposed a test for the people to decide whether to follow Yahweh and Baal.
The managers of Baal's cause were 450 men, fat and well fed (v. 22), besides 400 more, their supporters or seconds, v. 19. The manager of God's cause was but one man, lately a poor exile, hardly kept from starving; so that God's cause has nothing to support it but its own right.
1. It was the prayer of a righteous man. The prayers of unrighteous men are sometimes heard (Luke 18:14; 2 Chronicles 33:19), but only their prayers for grace and pardon. The intercessions of the wicked for others are of no avail, any more than the prayers of the impenitent for themselves.
7-16. Obadiah was in the way … Elijah met him—Deeming it imprudent to rush without previous intimation into Ahab's presence, the prophet solicited Obadiah to announce his return to Ahab.
