Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 21:20

20 And Ahab said to Elijah , Hast thou found me , O mine enemy ? And he answered, I have found thee : because thou hast sold thy self to work evil in the sight of the LORD .

Upon, and after his delivery of the message last mentioned, which it was needless to repeat.

Dost thou pursue me from place to place? Wiltst thou never let me rest? Art thou come after me hither with thy unwelcome messages?

That art always disturbing, threatning, and opposing me, and expressing not so much Gods mind, as thy own hatred and enmity against me. Comp. ch. 22. 8.

The hand of God hath found and overtaken thee in the very act of thy sin.

Thou hast wilfully and wholly resigned up thy self to be the bondslave of the Devil, or Baal, and of wicked Iezabel, to do whatsoever they persuade thee to do; as a man that sells himself to another is totally in his Masters Power, and must employ all his time and strength for his service. Compare 2 King. 17. 17. See on Rom. 7. 14.

i. e. Impudently and contemptuously. Withal he minds him, that although his sin was in a great measure hid from the eyes of men by Iezabel's cunning contrivance, yet it was evident and known to God who, would require it at his hands.
