Wesley's Notes for 1 Kings 19:14

19:12 A still voice - To intimate, that God would do his work in andfor Israel in his own time, not by might or power, but by his ownspirit, #Zech 4:6|, which moves with a powerful, but yet with asweet and gentle gale.

19:13 He wrapped, &c. - Through dread of God's presence, being sensiblythat he was neither worthy nor able to endure the sight of God with openface. And stood, &c. - Which God commanded him to do; and as he was goingtowards the mouth of the cave, he was affrighted and stopped in his course,by the dreadful wind, and earthquake, and fire; when these were past, heprosecutes his journey, and goeth on to the mouth of the cave.

19:16 The son, &c. - That is, his grand - son, for he was the son ofJehosaphat, #2Kings 9:2|. This was intended as a prediction that bythese God would punish the degenerate Israelites, plead his own causeamong them, and avenge the quarrel of his covenant.
