NETBible

He told his servant, “Go on up and look in the direction of the sea.” So he went on up, looked, and reported, “There is nothing.”¹ Seven times Elijah sent him to look.²

NET Notes

¹sn So he went on up, looked, and reported, “There is nothing.” Several times in this chapter those addressed by Elijah obey his orders. In vv. 20 and 42 Ahab does as instructed, in vv. 26 and 28 the prophets follow Elijah’s advice, and in vv. 30, 34, 40 and 43 the people and servants do as they are told. By juxtaposing Elijah’s commands with accounts of those commands being obeyed, the narrator emphasizes the authority of the Lord’s prophet.

²tn Heb “He said, ‘Return,’ seven times.”
