Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 17:18


17:18 She said - Wherein have I injured thee? Or, why didst thou cometo sojourn in my house, if this be the fruit of it? They are the words ofa troubled mind. Art thou come - Didst thou come for this end, that thoumightest severely observe my sins, and by thy prayers bring down God'sjust judgment upon me, as thou hast brought down this famine upon thenation? To call, &c. - To God's remembrance: for God is said inscripture, to remember sins, when he punisheth them; and to forgetthem, when he spares the sinner.
