Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Kings 18:17

"And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Is it thou, thou troubler of Israel?" — 1 Kings 18:17 (ASV)

Are you ... — Probably (as in 1 Kings 18:7) the rendering should be, “You here, the troubler of Israel!” — meaning, defying vengeance in the very land which you have troubled.
