Josh. 23:14‑15• 14And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.
 15Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the Lord your God promised you; so shall the Lord bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given you. (Josh. 23:14‑15)

• Before beginning with the history of Elijah, one detail is added...(1 Kings 16:34). Five hundred thirty-two years had passed, and the Lord had not forgotten His word (Josh. 6:26), a detail all the more remarkable that it is intended to prove before the eyes of men the infallible authority of all the words God has spoken. (“Complete Decadence: 1 Kings 16” by H.L. Rossier)
• Why did God not intervene? Why did He not crush this ungodly one? It is because He is a God of infinite patience and He proves this. He fulfills His word when after five centuries man might have thought and no doubt did think that He was no longer paying any attention. One act of disobedience brings on the judgment foretold, down to the very letter. (“Complete Decadence: 1 Kings 16” by H.L. Rossier)
• And it is a man of Bethel who builds Jericho! There is no more fear of God before the eyes of Israel. God’s threats are just as despised as His promises. This event is given us here as being morally the final stage of the condition of the individual in a time of apostasy, for historically speaking, it took place during the twenty-two years of Ahab’s reign. (“Complete Decadence: 1 Kings 16” by H.L. Rossier)
