     * mount Carmel.
       Mount Carmel is situated north of Dora and south of Ptolemais
       or Acre, from which it is distant, according to Josephus, 120
       stadia, or, according to Thevenot, 10; miles; one of its
       principal points advancing considerably into the
       Mediterranean, and forming an elevated promontory.  It is
       described as a flattened cone, about 2,000; feet (some say
       1,500) in height, very rocky, its sides steep and rugged, and
       the soil neither deep nor rich.  Capt. Mangles says its is now
       quite barren, though at the north-eastern foot of it there are
       some pretty olive-grounds.

     * prophets of the groves.
     # 15:13; 16:33; 2Ki 13:6|
       Though {ashairah} certainly denotes in some place a grove, yet
       it is equally certain, that in others, as here, it must
       signify an idol; and it is thought by learned men to be the
       same as Ashtoreth, or Astarte the Syrian Venus.

     * eat at Jezebel's table.
