    VERSE 19 
     - mount Carmel.
      Mount Carmel is situated north of Dora and south of Ptolemais
      or Acre, from which it is distant, according to Josephus, 120
      stadia, or, according to Thevenot, 10 miles; one of its
      principal points advancing considerably into the
      Mediterranean, and forming an elevated promontory.  It is
      described as a flattened cone, about 2,000 feet (some say
      1,500) in height, very rocky, its sides steep and rugged, and
      the soil neither deep nor rich.  Capt. Mangles says its is now
      quite barren, though at the north-eastern foot of it there are
      some pretty olive-grounds.

      Though {ashairah} certainly denotes in some place a grove, yet

      signify an idol; and it is thought by learned men to be the
      same as Ashtoreth, or Astarte the Syrian Venus.

    - aloud.  Heb. with a great voice.  for he is a god.
       * Isa 41:23
    - either.
      Such were the absurd and degrading notions which the heathens
      entertained of their gods.  "Vishnoo sleeps four months in the
      year; and to each of the gods some particular business is
      assigned.  Vayoo manages the winds; Vuroonu the waters, etc.
      According to a number of fables in the pooranus, the gods are
      often out on journeys or expeditions."  Ward's Views of the
      Hindoos, vol. ii. p. 324.

       * 1Ki 19:10,14 2Ch 33:16 Ro 11:3
    - the altar of the Lord.
      This altar of Jehovah was probably built in the time of the
      judges; and it was even known among the heathen by the name of
      the altar of Carmel.  Both Tacitus and Suetonius mention an
      altar on mount Carmel, which Vespasian went to consult: there
      was no temple nor statue, but simply an altar, venerable for
      its antiquity.

     - a little cloud.
      {Kekaph ish,} "like the hollow of a man's hand;" in the form
      of a hand bent, the concave side downmost.  Mr. Bruce mentions
      a similar cloud in Abyssinia, as attending the inundation of
      the Nile.  "Every morning, about nine, a small cloud, not
      above four feet broad, appears in the east, whirling violently
      round, as if upon an axis; but arrived near the zenith, it
      first abates its motion, then loses its form, and extends
      itself greatly, and seems to call up vapours from all opposite
      quarters.  These clouds having attained nearly the same
      height, rush against each other with great violence, and put
      me always in mind of Elijah foretelling rain on Mount Carmel."
