Clarke's 1-kings 19:9 Bible Commentary
He came thither unto a cave - Conjectured by some to be the same cave in which God put Moses that he might give him a glimpse of his glory. See Exodus 33:22.
What doest thou here, Elijah? - Is this a reproach for having fled from the face of Jezebel, through what some call unbelieving fears, that God would abandon him to her rage?
Barnes's 1-kings 19:9 Bible Commentary
A cave - Rather, "the cave." Some well-known cave must be intended - perhaps the "cliff of the rock" Exodus 33:22. The traditional "cave of Elijah" which is shown in the secluded plain immediately below the highest summit of the Jebel Mousa, cannot, from its small size, be the real cavern.
Wesley's 1-kings 19:9 Bible Commentary
19:9 Unto a cave - Perhaps the same wherein Moses was hid when the Lord passed before him, and proclaimed his name.
