Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 18:13. When Jezebel slew the prophets — This persecution was probably during the dearth, for as this bad woman would attribute the public calamity to Elijah, not being able to find him, she would naturally wreak her vengeance on the prophets of Jehovah who were within her reach.
