On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Art thou he that troubleth Israel--A violent altercation took place. Ahab thought to awe him into submission, but the prophet boldly and undisguisedly told the king that the national calamity was traceable chiefly to his own and his family's patronage and practice of idolatry. But, while rebuking the sins, Elijah paid all due respect to the high rank of the offender.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Yet, bad as things were, (1.) There was one very good man, who was a great man at court, Obadiah, who answered his name-- a servant of the Lord, one who feared God and was faithful to him, and yet was steward of the household to Ahab.
