What answer did God give him? This quotes 1 Kings 19:18 as the answer. Seven thousand men. The Expositor's Greek Testament says: "God has reserved the seven thousand; He has reserved them for Himself: it is on this the proof depends that He has not cast off His people. The seven thousand ate Israel to Him." Women and children were not mentioned, only men, yet there were surely many of them as well who followed God. [Baal was the sun-god worshiped by the ancient people of Canaan. Compare 1 Kings 16:31-33; 1 Kings 18:28.]
