1 Kings 21:20

Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? — The cry is partly of dismay, partly of excuse. Ahab, having no word of defence to utter, endeavours to attribute Elijah’s rebuke and condemnation to simple enmity, much as in 1 Kings 18:17 he cries out “Art thou he that troubleth Israel?” The crushing answer is that the prophet came not because he was an enemy, but because Ahab had “sold himself” — had become a slave instead of a king — under the lust of desire and the temptation of Jezebel.
