10
As the LORD your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek you. When they said, ‘He is not here,’ he took an oath of the kingdom and nation that they didn’t find you.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 10. An oath of every kingdom, adjuring all his neighbours to tell if they knew any thing about Elias. Bible.—Achab wished to make him restore rain, or to punish him for the refusal. Calmet.—How stupid he must have been, not to perceive that God was punishing him! Bible.—Elias must have kept himself very retired, not to be discovered at Sarephta, which was so near, ( Calmet.) and where Jezabel’s father reigned. But God could render him invisible, even upon the high road, when he went thither. Bible.
