Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass when Ahab saw Elijah,.... As soon as he came up to him, and knew who he was; Abarbinel thinks, because his hair was grown so long that Ahab did not know him certainly, and therefore put the following question:
that Ahab said unto him, art thou he that troubleth Israel? by opposing the religion of Baal, which prevailed among them; but chiefly rain being withheld from them according to his word, and at his prayer.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Art thou he ... - Meaning, âCan it possibly be that thou dost venture to present thyself before me, thou that troublest Israel by means of this terrible drought?â The charge of âtroublingâ had never before been brought against anyone but Achan (marginal reference âeâ); it was one which must have called to the prophetâs recollection Achanâs miserable fate.
