Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob,.... Which he might very easily come at from the mountain: unto whom the
word of the Lord came, saying, Israel shall be thy name, which signifies one that has power with God, as Jacob had, when the word came to him to make a change in his name at Penuel, Gen 32:28 , and as Elijah hoped and believed he should have at this time, being a prophet, and a worshipper of Israel's God.
