 - 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.

- prophets of the groves.
   * 1Ki 15:13; 16:33 2Ki 13:6
  Though {ashairah} certainly denotes in some place a grove, yet
  it is equally certain, that in others, as here, it must
  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."
